Do you actually wear five runes?

I understand wearing a superior one of your main element such as mine being water. I also understand wearing other minor ones like vigor and energy storage for obvious reasons. That leaves two spots to fill. I don't see how any other ones can help me much if I don't use their spells often. Yes occasionally, but not much. I wish you could use them for your secondary skill, unless I am missing something.

I would suppose that unless you are going to split your attributes between two elemental types (water plus something else) you really have no need for the other runes.

I find all the skills fascinating, and so am taking turns with all of them with my elementalist. Now I am air, was fire, and will soon convert to water (and then later earth). So for me, I guess the best place to stick that elemental rune is on the headpiece, which also gives +1 for a particular elemental damage.

Think it would be great to share attributes between two elemental areas, like fire for damage and water for slowing, but I guess in the high level areas of the game it is more needed to have max damage in one of them.

I only have four on me: 1 Superior Vigor, 1 Minor Domination, 1 Minor Fast Casting, and 1 Minor Inspiration. It'd be nice to have the ability to use secondary runes, but I'm ok with the current system as is.

Woth my Ele, i keep an eye for each element, with the appropriate superior rune in it, then I have Superior Vigor on my robe, and minor energy storage on my gloves. You dont really need anything else, but you might want to use 2 minor elemental runes for elements you feel you might want to 'splash' into your build at sometime; perhaps Water and Earth, as they are more support lines.

Advice: Use minor everything but vigor. Then get multiple headpieces and stick superior/major on them. For example, Fire Headgear with Superior Fire Magic.
