I did not know I could add more energy to this armor? Wont adding runes just cancel something else out? I guess I should ask, how many things, armor upgrades, can you add to the armor?

You can have 1 insignia and 1 rune for each piece of armor for a total of 2 upgrades per piece. (infusion is separate and only protects against the mursaat skill)

Energy insignia and runes stack so they do not cancel each other out.

Armor adding insignias, such as nightstalker, only apply to the piece of armor they are on. So, for instance, if you have a nightstalker on your chest, it will only give the armor benefit if you get hit in the chest.

vigor, attribute, absorption and condition reducing runes are non-stacking. So, for instance, two vigor runes will not stack. You will only get the amount of life given by the larger rune.

Vitae runes and survivor insignia, however, do stack with each other and with vigor runes and will add more life on top of that given by the vigor rune.

Putting 2 runes of the same attribute, such as dagger mastery, on will not stack and will only give you the extra points for the larger rune. However, their minus health does stack so 2 sup dagger runes would only give you +3 dagger mastery but would remove 150 hp.

As a perma sin you probably want as much energy as you can get. So, yes, you can add 4 runes for the extra 8 energy. (you want to keep a sup shadow on your mask, of course - but I notice you do not have a radiant on it. You can add radiant insignia to the mask and keep the sup shadow rune at the same time). If you are going with a dagger perma build, some people replace one energy rune with a sup dagger rune since the health hit doesn't usually matter for a perma sin.

Cool... Thanks for the explanation... I was under the impression that the extra energy I already had on my armor was the best I could do for the type of armor I had... I will try to add more energy insignia and runes... Thanks!
