The basic bones with a bow, skeleton archers return for their third go 'round in the Diablo series, and they are much as they've ever been. A humanoid skeleton with a bow and a relatively slow firing rate. They are not dangerous one on one, but a pack of them can be pretty nasty, especially against low armor or stationary targets.

In Diablo 3 they usually spawn with Skeletal Shieldman, firing from the relatively safety they find behind their blocking brethren. A player will need to either get around the blocking shieldmen, or kill the shieldmen to get to the archers. They may also appear with a Skeletal Summoner. It's not yet known if the undead caster can use any sort of buffs on the archers.

In Diablo II, the skeletal archers backed away if the player got too close, and we are seeing a limited similar pattern with Diablo III. As with all monsters in D3, they have an AI upgrade and flexibility added to them from the previous games. With the rate they die, it's hardly something that's noticed though.
