No...you only need 1 piece of Knight's for the -2 damage reduction to work, and Ascalon is the same thing as Knight's.

Quote:
Armor

Armor in Guild Wars works in an interesting, yet effective way. There are 5 body locations in the game - they are your head, arms, legs, feet, and chest. When a player is hit for damage, the game randomly determines which body location gets hit. Player positioning (e.g.: hitting from the side or from above) as well as what skill is used (hamstring or skull crack for example) can force a character to hit a specific body location of the target, or at least increases the chances of you hitting that location. The chest has the highest chance to be hit, followed by your legs.

Once a hit location is determined, the game uses the Armor Level (AL) from the armor on the hit location for the damage calculations. When it comes to spells, the hit location is nearly always the chest, unless the spell causes a projectile to fire at the target (e.g. lightning orb) in which case the hit location is randomly determined as usual.

As a basic reference, for every 40AL more than what your current armor has your damage gets halved. For every 40AL less than what your current armor has, your damage gets doubled.

Knights armour does stack, so should absorb runes

No they don't Lag Hell.
You only need 1 piece of knights armor for the full effect. Where the piece is is irrelevant. Multiple pieces bears no additional benefit.
The same is true for absorb runes.

The effect is global.

Majority doesn't rule.... fact rules, and the fact is you only need one piece of knight's armor to get the global damage reduction bonus of -2, which will stack with your absorption rune for a total global damage reduction bonus of -5.

Lag,
Your quote covers general damage assignment, which is quite correct.
It just unfortunately bears no relevance to reduction.
