Runemasters can wear a decent amount of armor before they start getting penalized. With 20-30 points in combat you can easily fit a DSM into your setup. That combined with a +3 1.5h life weapon and a shield makes you rather tanky. Mage staff is unnecessary IMO since runemaster isn't nearly as mana-starved as Istar, and being able to get over 1k health is really nice for tough fights.

Something like this, vampire for time res(haste spell backlash) and because I think the race is fun. I think High Elf is also very solid. Combat can be adjusted as needed to fit gear, base is 23 and you get 0.3 per point in combat. Once health/runes are maxed and combat is adequate, sneakiness, interception and stealing are all fun options for post-king.

For sigils I'd put time(speed) on some magi gloves, I think +6 is the highest PVAL that will work? Weapon can only be +3 so is probably better to put mana or time res on depending on race and planned encounters. Mana res for Sauron is nice.

Will Combat also help prevent the speed loss from heavy armor?

only martial artist loss speed bonuses when wearing heavy armour, in other instances, you just carry to much, and need to increase strength
