Guild Wars 2

I will have completely finished crafting my ascended armor in a couple of days and I was hoping to have upgrades thought out before my armor was done. I am a little closer, but there are still some concepts that I find perplexing, one of these concepts is stacking. I was thinking about just going strength runes, pretty straight forward, and it appears that would stack, but I thought about mixing my runes. Maybe going for speed, strength and also adding Reaper runes (I am a necomancer). Would the chill effect stack for me as a Reaper? Is there a cap on that?

You seem to be mistaken about something.

The chill effect on the Superior Rune of the Reaper requires having 6 Superior Rune of the Reaper equipped which means 1 in each piece of armor. That would not leave you with any room to use any other runes.

You can see on the runes (0/6) ex : Rune of the Reaper
(1): +25 Power
(2): +35 Toughness
(3): +50 Power
(4): +65 Toughness
(5): +100 Power
(6): When executing a shout skill, chill nearby enemies for 1 second (360 radius).

It means you need each of your armor (6 pieces in total) to equipped 1 Rune each to reach the 6th “(6): When executing a shout skill, chill nearby enemies for 1 second (360 radius).”

So the stacking u saying is not possible afaik , correct me if im wrong.
1 set of armor = need 6 runes

I am so glad I asked. I didn’t realize that the numbers on the runes went with the number of them that you needed.
