Info on Runes, what do they mean.

[Urnbak]

The info i see on this rune is:

(1) : +15 Power
(2) : +10% Burn Duration
(3) : + 35 Power
(4) : Gain Haste for 5 secs...etc...

am i right in assuming it means the more runes i have of the same type the better the stats?
and if i have 4 of that type i get all those stats?

Correct. It will go up to the point of runes you have equipped. The more of the same rune you have, the more of those points you will unlock. Superior runes are the best, typically, because they give you (6) upgrades.

Thanks.

I've had great success with rune casts. I like them a little more than tarot because there are fewer symbols to memorize, and they are more versitile in how you can cast them. I've used them to clarify issues, overcome obstacles, and see roadblocks before I hit them. A couple of my friends have used them- as talismans, empowering symbols, and for divination, and they've all had success using them. If you're wanting to get into divination, I'd recommend runes. They're great for many things.

Runes are great and while you might not want to spend money on them early on but I've found that getting 6 different minor runes (so you get +10 to 6 different stats or the same stat if you want) can give you a pretty good edge. If you did 3 sets of 2 minor runes the 2nd bonus is usually +6 or +boon duration or something, so the 6 different ones work well.

I use transmutation stones or black lion salvage kits to transfer the runes new armor as I get it them until lvl 60 when I breakdown and get superior runes (cause they are much better and a set of 6 of them are really cool.)

LMAO! I've cast runes before, but tarot has always worked better for me. To each his own. I think this is a different kind of rune though.

Runes are there to compliment your build. For example, many elementalist are "boon jugglers", they get boons through various means and they try to keep them lasting as long as possible. So they get runes that extend boon duration, which they do through a mix of superior and major water and monk runes. Other elementalists might get runes that give healing power, so they're self healing. While other still, are auramances and get runes that give various banefits including an aura at certian health levels. And there are more options as well.

And that's just for one class. So jump on wiki and see what all the runes do, and then figure out which combination will compliment your build the most. It's really a good way to improve your build. I've spent close to 30-40 gold since launch changing out my runes as my build has change/evolved. Right now Im at a good place and just waiting to see how the ascended gear plays out.
