Guild Wars 2

I do not know if this is in the right place to put this or if someone will put this topic in the right place. I just have a question regarding runes and how they work. If you have, lets say 2 minor rune of Flame Legion runes which has 1) +10 power, 2) +5% burn duration. Does the 1st part get applied twice to you character when having 2 pieces of armor with that same flame legion rune on them, or is it only applied once and the second one applied only once? Please Help. I have already put a question in this foam and got no answer. I do not see how asking questions in a forum helps me. This is the second time using a forum at all and it frustrates me that I can’t get an answer or reply unless I do something wrong against the forum code. Thanks. I tried having the topic on RUNES, but it was too short, needs 6 letters (characters). Too many rules.

One Rune of the Flame Legion total buff: 25 power
Two Runes of the Flame Legion total buff: 25 Power + 15% Burning Duration
Three Runes of the Flame Legion total buff: 25 Power + 15% Burning Duration + 50 Power

See below

Superior Rune of the Flame Legion

(1): +25 Power
(2): +15% Burning duration
(3): +50 Power
(4): 5% chance to cause Burning for 1 second when hit. (cooldown: 5s)
(5): +90 Power
(6): +5% damage against Burning targets.

Hope that helps…its not cumulative but adds additional single buff each time you add another rune of the same set (some stats appear twice on some runes sets and so do get added) – but basically you get each line in the set bonus once.

Basically this, look at your armor with the runes on them, if there is grayed out bonuses that means that you have to add an other rune of the same name in order to reach that bonus. Once you have 6 of the same runes you would have access to all 6 bonuses that set of rune provides.

So to answer your question, no. The first 1st part does not get applied twice when adding a second rune. You have 6 pieces of armor, thus you can have one rune on each which coincides with the number of listed bonuses on the rune. It also depends what rune you’re looking at, if you’re looking at a minor or major rune they don’t have 6 bonuses listed so you can only get the 2 or 4 that they list. Superior runes are the best ones and will get you all 6 bonuses. Each time you add on a rune of the same type it will give you the next bonus down the line. If you were to add say 2 Superior Rune of the Flame Legion and 2 Superior Rune of the Monk you would get bonuses #1 and #2 from each of those 2 runes. But note that you would not get bonus #3 or #4 because you aren’t stacking more of the same rune on your gear. Hope I helped, it can get a little confusing.
