Question regarding armor... again

Last time I asked about armor, how it works when you add a +10vsX on one of your pieces.

But does that ALSO include runes such as; +15 while affected by a condition, or does these go over your 'whole' character, if you know what I mean? Or does it only give you the +15 if you get hit where you have the +15 runed on?

All +armor insignia (there are no +armor runes) are location specific.

The runes that reduce condition duration (Clarity, Purity, etc.) are global -they cover the whole character. (If that's what you're asking.)

as well as armor vs certain dmg on shields such as +10 vs cold dmg etc.

It seems to me that the +15 armor vs conditions is an insignia.

Specifically, the Disciple insignia for a monk.

Please take a look at the following link for insignias.

Runes as a general rule will not stack with runes of the same type. The only exceptions of course are Vitae and Attunement runes.
