Stack runes? - Guild Wars Forums

Arch Crazysword · Aug 08, 2005, 03:41 AM // 03:41

Lets say I use Knight's armor and it already has the mod reduces damage from attacks. Can I stack another Major Absorption rune onto it? Can I stack minor swordmanship/vigor on knight's armor?

The damage reduction from one piece of Knight's Armor and an Absorption Rune stack. You can only have 1 rune per piece of armor.

from what I was told about an hour ago...

You can ONLY stack 1 extra rune...RUNES are different from what are PRE attached to the armors when u buy them.

Say if u guy regular armor...can NOT put 2 "minor absorbtion" runes on...
If you BUY a Absorbtion set with those premade...all 5 armor pieces Stack...and you can add ONE more "absorbation" rune to stack on top.

Same thing with Helms...Helm with +1Tactics already PRE made into it...you can add ONE extra Tactics rune on that armor (or any of 5)

EXTRA...so not to confuse...
You can only add ONE rune of that type...cannot add Minor and Major Tacics rune...will only take the highest one...
Same with 2 Minor runes...will only take 1 of them...and only 1 rune per armor piece.

I don't think all 5 of the Knight's set stack for the Reduce Damage. I've seen a lot of that set being much like a rune. The effect of one Knight armor will have the same effect if you had just one or five armors.

To further clarify since the rune concept is very unclear.

*Armor Bonuses are seperate from Runes no matter how similar they are.
Each piece of armor can hold a single rune.
*Similar attribute runes (i.e. Minor Absorption and Major Absoprtion) do not add on to eachother. The higher tier (Minor, Major, Superior) rune will take priority and cancel out the other similar attribute rune.
*Major and Superior runes come with a health penalty of -50hp and -75hp. But! Vigor and Absorption runes do not carry that penalty.
