If i use a rune with Armor +15 (while attacking) on my chest armor and leg armor, do i have Armor +30 or is this also non-stacking?

No, the +15 only applies to the piece of armor it's on, it does not stack overall.

Each piece has it's own AL. The runes applied to each piece only affect that piece.

So, if your base AL for a piece is 80, you'd have 95 on the chest and 95 on the leg (while attacking only of course), not 110.

Clear? Kinda?

Lets just say that the +15 does not stack and only adds to the armor piece it is added to.

hmm i dont understand, maybe thats because my english is not so good as it is the same with reading

Your body have 5 different parts of armor. Lets say every part has +25 armor. so that means i have a total of +125 armor. I have 2 runes Armor +15 (while attacking) applied to 2 pieces armor. Does that not mean i have +125 (normal) + 30 (while attacking)?

Ok, lets do this.
Armor does not add to each other.

Lets go with what you said
with 5 armor parts with 25armor on each of them. ar stands for armor
Armor part 1 - 25ar
Armor part 2 - 25ar
Armor part 3 - 25ar
Armor part 4 - 25ar
Armor part 5 - 25ar

Lets say we add a +15(while attacking) to armor part 2.
Armor part 2 would be a 40ar armor part when you are attacking.

Each piece of armor has it's own armor rating. They do not add together. In essence, that's how it works.

ok i understand that. So, if i also add a +15 (while attacking) to armor part 3, i have a better defense because now part 2 en 3 will be a 40 armor when iam attacking?

Yes, armor piece 2 and 3 will have 40 while attacking, while the rest will only have 25.

nobody mentioned the fact that each armor piece has some chance to get hit, and only the armor piece hit with each attack matters. basically you have the highest chance to be hit in the chest and second highest to be hit in the legs, so if you want armor on only a couple piece of armor those would be the most important

Didn't want to confuse him. But yes, you are correct about a different hit percentage on each piece.

No body mentioned that they were talking about "Insignias" not Runes, either.
