Guild Wars 2

On the Wiki the entry for the Breathing apparatus states that the stats for the Breather including runes replace those of the headpiece when underwater. Can anybody tell me if this is accurate? I have a full set of superior runes on my armor, including the breathing apparatus and now show 7/6 Runes. Can I get away with replacing 1 rune for something else and still get the full bonus all the time?

MY apologies if this duplicates someone else’s post. I tried searching and could not find an answer anywhere else, but I may have used the wrong terms.

You will need 7 runes if you plan on doing underwater content and getting a rune set bonus.

It will display 7/6 runes because it’s counting your water breather’s rune in the total even though you will only get the effect of 6 runes at a single time.

It’s possible to reach 14/6 with sPvP gear as well!

But you will need the same rune on your breather, if you dont want to lose your 6th stat bonus on the set under water.
I realized it when farming sharks in Southsun, my magic find went down about 30% under water.
