Shadowlord faeling blacktalon (warrior) with max speed rapiers blademaster. Very fast, maybe too fast? Not a huge investment, maybe 2 trans skills and some of the basics.
Loboshigaru/Taurian Celestine with Tarot. Very tanky, especially with numen and trueheal, very bad bashing skill until you get a symbol.
Merian Aquamancer with Telekinesis tertiary. Very strong attacks (staff, hailstorm), and bubble+cromatine daggers.
One, Blacktalon aren't warriors.
Two, there's a group of people in the game called "envoys." We exist to make sure that guilds are more or less balanced in terms of combat application. It's a little contrary to the nature of the game to ask which guilds are "above average." None should/will stay that way.

I guess I should clarify. I don't know a lot about the skills here yet. What I meant by above average is, skills that are basically built to be more combat focused. I thought that some were more focused on healing, support, etc. Unless I am mistaken?
Missed your post, sorry!
There are skill choices that make a character more support oriented. There are no guild choices that are support oriented. Someone who chooses healing or astrology will be less combat oriented than one who chooses tarot or hexes, for example.

The OP was looking for advice, I gave some options that I think do very well in combat. And I didn't know who the warriors were in Glomdoring when I posted. Sorry.
I should have said Ebonguard.QUOTE(Xavius @ Nov 15 2006, 10:07 PM) 354008

Ooo, now I get it. You have to overlook me. The skills here work a little differently than those I'm used to elsewhere. In my last game, there are classes that are simply more focused on combat. Of course, there weren't really skill choices aside from choosing a class. Thanks to everyone for the help!
All are equally aggressive, in that sense, then. Just keep in mind that if your defense is uber, that can help you win a lot more fights than just a good offense. Aquamancy is seen as generally stronger than Geomancy even though it is less offensive. An aqua's defenses (health regen, random affliction curing with Sweetfount, Liquidform curing all afflictions, giving back a lot of health and mana, engulfing others to heal them) are very good, though things like geo's fumes (give hunger, go down each hit 
) are stronger than what Aquamancers have (generally, at least it's meant to).
And, Celest seems 'defensive' at first, then you think of their skills, and
don't flame me...please...
