Hello,
I've own Guild Wars game about a year now but never actually played it that often. I recently stopped playing WoW and is now playing GW again.
So I made a Wa/Mo since I like playing Tank/Support type of characters. But somehow I've found *after wasting almost 10k worth of gold* that the different type of armor protection doesn't always stack and having a full set isn't always the best idea.
I've searched guru and google for different explanations, but the lingo of GW talk isn't getting in my head. So I have a few questions I need to ask:
- If I buy a FULL PLATEMAIL set, will the -20 & -10 defense from Physical and Elemental stack? Will I have +100 defense from Physical and 50 from elemental *considering it's 5 piece set*
- If I buy a FULL SET Knight's Armor (-3 Dmg each), will i have -15 dmg reduction or only -3?
- If I put superior rune of vigor (+HP) in my Knight's armor, will it take off the -3 dmg reduction effect?
- Is there a bonus for having a complete set of armor? If yes, what are those bonus?
- Does Vigor and Absorption runes stack? (Ex. 1 Vigor = 10 HP, 2 Vigor = 20 HP?) (Ex. 1 Absorption = -3, 2 Absorption = -6?)
- Does it matter where you put your runes? If yes, what are the good place to put them?
Last but not the least, I have my eye on this armor combination if ever the -3 dmg reduction doesn't stack, otherwise I'll be using a complete set of Knight/Platemail armor. Please feel free to give your opinion and correct me if I'm doing it wrong.
Head : I'll buy all kinds of helm for versatility
Chest : Plate Mail (Since spells mainly target chest)
Legs option 1 : Knights (If the 20/10 defense doesn't stack)
Legs option 2 : Plate Mail (If the 20/10 defense stack)
Hands & Feet : Gladiators (What else?)
Runes : Superior Vigor, Superior Absorption (I have no idea where to put them or how many to buy)
I apologize if there's a thread about these already, I've really searched and I couldn't find any. Thanks in advance for the replies.

Superior Axe mastery on Helm
Superior Vigor on chest
Superior Absorption on Leggings
Minor Strength on feet
Minor Tactics on Gauntlets.
Remember, minor runes have no HP reduction, but Majors have -35HP, and Superiors have -75HP. And those HP reductions DO stack! (Not applicable to Absorbtion runes.)

Thank you so much for clearing that up. It's makes more sense to me now.
Another question :
I came into Droknar's Forge and saw that the Platemail and the Wyvern have the same stats. Is there a difference aside from the sprite?
