Quistion just to clear it - Guild Wars Forums

l u b i · Aug 20, 2007, 10:36 AM // 10:36

Hi guys ...
I know its anoob quistion but i have to ask coz its confusing me,
*1) I use -3 dmg rune on my warrior also -3 dmg Knight's in the same chest piece, so am i making mistake here or its good, coz i think -3/-3 in 1 armor piece = (-6).
i mean should i use both or just 1 of them enough.(does the armor get effect from this)

*2) Need some advice about how to orgnize your piece(which rune+Insignias in which piece) and does it work defferent if i mix the Insignias (i mean always change the Insignias on the same piece from time to time)

NOTE: Sry for my english i do my best to make it understandable.

THX...

1) already a good choice.
2) Usually some hats with major or sup rune for some builds which need extra attribute to maximize it.

BTW this thread belong to the warrior section.

Well for an absorption rune, you want that on your chest. Superior or major runes go on the helmet. It's far easier to change a +1 swordsmanship with superior swordsmanship rune on it for a +1 strength with superior strength.

Absorption runes are global - so you should only use one.
Knights insignias are per piece - so you may want to use one on every piece of your armor so you get the same protection for head-shots as you do for chest-shots.

You're best bet is to put your main rune (for warriors a sword, axe, or hammer) in your helm, so that the inherent +1 to ability bonus kicks in. As for the other locations, you can pretty much mix and match runes and insignias as you see fit, but most people will run a full set of insignias (all radiant, or all stalwart for example)

So to use my warrior as an example, this is my typical setup:
Helm: Sentinel/Superior Sword
Chest: Sentinel/Superior Absorb
Hands: Sentinel/Minor Strength
Legs: Sentinel/Superior Vigor
Feet: Sentinel/Minor Tactics

And I keep a second set of armor that has the same runes, but are all Radiant insignias.

What people here are trying to say is that it's best to keep attribute runes in the helmet slot. Helmets have attribute bonuses and if you put the same attibute rune in the helm, you can easily exchange helmets when you change builds.

LoL, that's how I organised my runes on my warrior too!
