Rune question

Hey all,

What exactly is the deal with the way runes stack on armor/weapons? Obviously I know you can't get two of the same rune on a single item. On top of that though, i'm confused because it seems certain armor pieces don't stack either. I had a rune of marksmanship on my leggings, chest, and mask but was only getting +2. I did a little experimenting and chest + mask worked, and mask + legs worked, but I only gained +1 from chest + legs. Are we restricted to 1 per type on our 4 main body slots? Until I get a more clear answer I'm going with beast on chest, expert on gloves, marks on legs, and wilderness on boots. If they don't stack though, I suppose the draw for a major rune is to put a major rune on one slot and then put a major vigor on another to make up for the lost hp. Anyway, I hope this made sense, and any responses would definitely be appreciated.

i also tried 2 max hp runes ( on separate items). it seems they didnt stack...

That's why I'm confused. The +marks from my hunters mask seems to stack with all my armor, but none of the armor's seem to stack with each other otherwise.

Hmm I always thought that you only get the benefits of 1 type of rune regardless of how many pieces of armor has it. For example, even if you had 5 minor vigor runes on all your armor, you still get +30 HP (the same benefit 1 minor rune will give) because they do not stack.

Morpheus, what type of marksmanship runes are you using? A major rune should be the only way to get +2 marksmanship (even if you had 2 minor runes, they won't stack, and will only give you +1)
