Especially in casters, it would be amazing to have two slots of runes for gloves. Two for shoes would be fair as well, but I can see casters having one hand engraved for one ability, and the other for another.

I think that would be too much, especially considering as we get into later phases there will be other gear slots with runes iirc.

I think it would be fun, but:
Meta + Haunt would be far too broken.
I also realized I only have glove runes when it comes to more than 1 rune right now. (It does not actually include Meta)
Meta and Shadow Bolt Volley would be like Meta having Avengerâs Shield and it would be epic AF
For priests having penance + circle of healing would be too OP
Iâd rather see a 4th rune slot, shoulders for example. We will probably get more runes and slots as time passes in SOD.
Would be nice if they made 1 flex rune slot.
So lets say shoulder slot has no hard runes for it, but you can put one of any rune into it.
This does make balance a lot harder though.

Itâs funny you meant this about the runes more so the glove ones. I tripped off of this this morning looking over build ideas for my paladin and a few runes I donât have yet and realized who insanely beyond OP a few classes would be if even one or two rune was not sitting in the same slot. Keep in mind we donât even have all the rune slots open yet and just looking at 3 runes on my Pally, if I could move just one rune to a different armor slot, the crazy build I could come up with! Add some better gear, a full tool kit and it would be a replay of them bringing down the servers again because someone soloed/one shot a Raid boss all over again.
That said a person can dream (deep sigh of daydreaming fantasy).

Why stop at 2 ?

Yes, dreaming will only get you so far, but hey, you said something on a forum where it might be seen by devs. This season is temporary, and having game breaking mechanics and rune combos that make you into a god should be explored. They would have to disadvantage you in some other way though, like a min maxed sort of play that has a warlock tank soloing BFD raid if they do all the mechanics right and bring a ton of drinks. I wish this was possible, since pallies have been soloing stuff for god knows how much time already, or at least, in the first versions before they keep nerfing them down.

To hell with balance. This is a season of DISCOVERY. A season of freedom, of possibility, of underdogs. This is a season that should be remembered by the amazing things the new things can accomplish, not by how hard it was to get one rune that turned out to have flaws anyway.
The design of runes is pretty intentional in that they are putting runes in specific slots so you canât double up on certain combos and you are therefore choosing what you want to optimize on.
I mean itâd be nice to double up on master channeler and soul siphon, but I get why theyâre in the same slot.

youre literally asking for something they will add in p2, with additional slots. Just be patient and see what they cook up

Maybe on S2
Maybe not two slots, but it could be interesting if the additional slots we see coming might share slots with existing ones. So you might have it that your new cloak and chest slots share rune choices, but still have some exclusive runes too. Imagine having the rogue chest tanking rune as chest exclusive for example, and then putting something like quick draw as your cloak rune.
