On which armor parts should I apply these runes

Hello,

I've been reading about runes that you should imbue on specific armor parts.
So far I have a minor dagger rune on my 'helm' (which has +1 dagger mastery already, so +2 dagger mastery in total on helm) and a minor crit strike rune on my gloves. Now I want to buy a major vigor rune, but I'm not sure on which armor part I should apply it. I hope I posted this is the right section, as I wasn't sure if it's the same for all professions.

Thanks in advance.

doesn't really matter

I normally put vigor runes on my feet, but it makes no difference.

Generally, I put Vigor on my chest as it's the part I'm not likely to swap out.

Minor deadly and shadow go on gloves and boots, as it's cheaper to pick up new pairs of boots/gloves for rune switching.

what Cat Face said

I save my chest piece for runes that are "+3 on chest +2 on legs +1 on other" or "+15 chest +5 legs..."
Feet, golves annd head are for runes that are not as versatile- like ones that are just +1/2/3 to "dagger mastery" or normal vigor runes for head/feet/gloves

The only ones that matter where they are placed are damage reducers.

I want to post even though it's already been covered.

================================================== =======

(Head) The only one that matters is the attribute you want highest, which you want to match with the headpiece for +2 on that one piece. Makes swapping out much easier.

(Chest) I put my Vigor rune here for two reasons: first, it gives me that role-playing feel... your health being on your heart, stamina, all that. Second, your chest armor piece will be the most expensive as will your vigor rune. You won't want a secondary chest piece, and since a vigor rune will make it into ALL of your armor sets, you ought to put it there.

(Hands) I put my secondary attribute here. Critical Strikes is a good one. Also gives you that RP feel of your skill being on your hand piece and is a cheaper armor piece for swapping.

(Legs) Vitae. Always.

(Feet) Vitae again unless I'm for whatever reason needing a 3rd attribute (which... I don't think I ever do). If you *are* using 3 attributes though again this is the next cheapest piece for swapping.

================================================== ===

The above posts probably adequately answered your question. I just felt like saying something anyway.
