Best inscriptions/runes for an archer?

[Broutwo]

I'm leaning toward a teleport run, a regen inscription, and one of those cure affliction/damage reduction inscriptions. Anybody have other preferences for their ranged characters?

Once they turn up get a powerful shield. Late in game I've seen 600+ over 5 turns.

btw, just had my best ever regen infusion - 715 over 6 turns, cooldown of 12 turns. if only I could pass it on to my next character...

2 shield runes, 1 controlled phase door rune, and a teleport rune. I only play skeleton archers.

Okay, both of you have shield runes on your list, buy why? I'd think a heal or regen might be better.

Mind you, I'm a new as I seem to this incarnation of TOME. I don't have skeletons yet, my highest character almost reached 20th level, and my archer is a dwarf

Shield runes don't take a turn to activate, you can turn them on preemptively instead of waiting until you're already in a bad situation, and it's harder for enemies to do lethal damage in a single turn if they also have to punch through a shield.

Also, you may not know this, but it's possible to spend category talent points to gain inscription slots. With all of your slots full and an unspent category point, use a rune or infusion, and the popup that normal asks what you want to replace will have an option to buy a new slot.

If I'm not antimagic/undead, I always get Shielding and Regeneration. Wild is always useful, too. For an Archer specifically, I'd recommend a Movement infusion, and either Teleport or Controlled Phase Door. Invisibility runes can be nice, too, as they pretty much give you a breather in any situation. They are also great for scouting; you don't want to be surprised with a boss right around the next corner.

Well I've got a nice 303 regen, a teleport, and a wild that gives me 21% resist all and cure physical and mental afflictions. Let's see what else drops

Thanks for all of the input, guys!

Once you get an anorithil escort, take Providence as reward and replace the wild infusion by a shielding rune.
