Q:

Hey All,

Was looking at two differnt rune sets to complement my burning build. Two caught my eye, the Flame Legion set and the Forge set. Each set has a two piece bonus of +15% burn duration. My question is if i equip two Flame Legion runes and 2 Forge runs will i get +30% burn duration or do the sets not stack that way? Thanks in advance.

Flame Legion:
(1) +25 power
(2) +15% burning duration
(3) +50 power
(4) 5% chance to cause burning for 1s when hit (5s cooldown)
(5) +90 power
(6) +5% damage against burning foes

Forge:
(1) +25 toughness
(2) +15% burning duration
(3) +50 toughness
(4) +20% protection duration
(5) +90 toughness
(6) At 50% health you gain protection for 10s and burn all nearby foes (cooldown: 60s)

If people are mixing runes to obtain +60% Magic Find (which is not possible with a single set), then I’d guess that mixing these runes, at least two of each, would allow +30% burning duration.

Blaine – Warrior – Greatsword & Longbow
Sir Byren – Guardian – Mace/Shield & Scepter/Focus
Zaldoras – Necromancer – Staff & Scepter/Dagger

I hope that is true, has any one actually tested something like this yet. I imagine it would be hard to thest the MF case but something like burning duration should be easy to test.
