If I buy armor that already has a rune attached, why can’t I buy the same exact rune and start stacking them. Is it a bug or am I missing something?

Are you referring to the multiple piece bonus for the runes? You don’t really “stack” those. You get them by having the same rune on multiple piece of armor.

If you’re using minor or major runes, they only stack to 2/2 and 4/4. If you wanted to stack a specific stat or set of stats you’d have to use different runes.

For instance, if you want to maximize power for a new character, you’d use 6 different power runes, netting 60 power. If you want to maximize power on a lvl 39-59 character, you’d get 3 of one kind of major power runes, and 3 of another kind of major power runes (if you get 6 different kinds, you’ll lose out on 10 power). At 60 you’ll want 6 of the same kind of runes more than likely, to maximize the gains (such as 165 power and other set bonuses using the same 6 runes vs 150 using 6 different runes and not getting the set bonuses).

Most people use 6/6 rune sets at 60+, but it could be beneficial to use 4/6 + 2/6 or 3/6 + 3/6 for specific builds, such as a bleed condition focused character using 3/6 runes of the afflicted and 3/6 runes of the krait for +166 condition damage and 30% bleed duration, however a thief might prefer 4/6 runes of the afflicted for the +poison duration, or a warrior may prefer 4/6 runes of the krait for the bleed on hit chance if they’re a tanky build.
