Munsia, your list is trash
1. Amaru
2. Narsrim
3. Geb
4. Terenas
5. Daevos
6. Murphy
7. Alger
8. Shamarah
9. Thorgal (As a Nihilist)
10. Yuniko (for her recent pwnage against Ixion, Ixchilgal and Athana) Mwa.
I won't name myself as one of the top 10. That'd be shameless.
I do well though. But from an objective point of view, those are the best.
Damn, have to add an edit- Geb can probably beat Narsrim and Amaru. Mwahabahaha. Sorry Amaru.

This does look pretty messed up, Yuniko?? Alger?? I'm surprised me and Ixion are not on this list either.
I think, in no order really, more based on who I think would be a challenge to fight.
Daevos (Best curing I've seen, great fighting techniques)
Geb (arties out the ass and has decent curing and good techniques)
Narsrim (overpowered class, but a good fighter all around)
Amaru (another insane curing system, used to use good techniques)
Murphy (good fighter al around)
Ixion (insane damage)
Terenas (great curing, good techniques)
lyco (hard as hell to kill, good techniques)
Kaervas (good curing, great techniques)
munsia (druids are just insane right now and she has learned her skills well)
Thaemorn was a good fighter, but he emigrated to Imperian, prefers the combat there. 
EDIT: And I think you underestimate Alger, Ethelon.

I'd say I'm at least average, and I purposely don't use a system. I intend to later on, though.
   As for buying and selling systems, I don't agree with that. If there's some real reason that person is inept and unable to build their own, sure. But really the best system you're going to get is the system you make for yourself, based on your own experiences and what you learn of live combat in Lusternia (or any other MUD for that matter). Tailor-fitted as it were.
  ZMUD and Muschlient scripting isn't extremely difficult, ZMUD itself comes with a thorough and comprehensive tutorial at the more complex variable patterning one can use, and how to construct 'intelligent' triggers. Personally I like Lusternia because of the fact you get alot more lessons in the leveling run from one to a hundred than you do in say...Aetolia. That, and levels seem to mean alot more, whereas in the other IRE games I've experienced it's -all- about your system. However great your system is, a titan could most likely still smack you around if you were fifty levels or so beneath him. But it's not combat systems or 'reflexes' I'm trying to denounce here. In fact, I'm not really denouncing anything.
    I think it's just important that (before people place value on combat systems like one does on an XBOX 360 upgrade from their XBOX, or some alike computer upgrade - which is truly necessary)people realize scripting intelligent combat systems in ZMUD and Mushclient dosn't require a year in C++ or .net, it's not a knowledge you are limited from. A decent combat system is mostly comprised of a persistent stock of experience in conflict within the game translated into some pretty easy to learn code.
  While I try not to use a system myself and see how good I can get without (which is mind boggling lemme tell you, it's difficult to keep up with the spam sometimes - I tend to overlook afflictions I'd taken in a screen that flickered past during group battles), a system is usually necessary. As a 'mechanic' so the Lusternia forum thread calls it, I consider combat system compiling and scripting a way to reflect the innovative and progressive sense for the art of fighting itself in my character. But now I'm just getting weird.
