Ok, since this expansion added runes that can give you +health or +energy, i was thinking yesterday wich rune i was going to take it off from my ritualist armor to add one to increase my energy, so i found myself seeing 3 minors (one of each stat) and one superior at the helm (to switch depending on what i was going to do), and then i though: "damn, i wish i could create a major rune and get two of these minors inside it". and then it came on to me "why not?!"

So, you go to the Rune Trader, and buy a Major/Supeior Blank Rune and you can add 2 or 3 minors (for major blank runes and superior blank runes) or 1 major and 1 minor (for superior blank runes)
Of course, for those of you who think in numbers, this should only for atribbute runes, because it will never compensate to get -35hp for a rune of vitae and one minor, duhh.
And it will get way more tricky it changes the health penalty for these superiors and major, so, better work for attributes only.
This way, you can sacrifice a buch of hp to get some minor attributes boost and use the rest of you armor to get + energy.

ps: The health penalty wouldnt really have to be -35 and -75.. wich some would consider too much for minor boosts. Something between 20 and 35 for majors, and 30 and 75 for superios. You do the math

So you want to have two different forms of major runes, and phase out superiour runes? Whats the point of having to add three minor runes together to make one superior? The system already provides that... except its called a superior rune and not three minor. I barely can undstand what you wrote... so I'll leave it at

First Positive re-enforcement
Kudos to you for being brave enough to post a suggestion that might offer a change in play style.

Next the Negative Reaction:
WTF is this garbage, this is the dumbest idea I have ever heard of. The only thing else I can post is a link to a floating pile of turd in the shape of a question mark, and a long string of obscene profanity, so potent, that it would make even the devil blush.

Finally a positive note to soften the blow of a devastating ego crushing blow:
Keep up the good work.

i posted it on a rush, and i didnt had time to review it.

i will surelly not try to explain it because some people dont know how to interact with strangers, and think they are so much better then everyone
people like that do not deserve my time, and insignificant beeings cant even touch my ego.
i acted like you when i had 13

this reminds me of the old pendant charm crapolla... In the end that was abandoned cause it was abused, But the concept worked. However it took a lot of finagling to learn the proper means to use it. I think your concept would be overtly confusing for most players... and in the end its not necessary.

so Kudos for creative thinking but ultimately...

Well I'm not going to bite the OP's head off for no reason like some people, but I think this idea would defeat the intended purpose of these new runes. It seems to me that they were introduced to add some much needed variety to people's armor sets. If we could mix and match runes so that we end up with a hodge-podge of everything we'd eventually all end up wearing the same things...again.
I'm all for the variety these runes can offer but we now need, more than ever, some type of armor storage to accommodate them. Especially for chars that have been around (gathering armor with each new release) since prophecies first came out. /endsidetrackingnow
