Is Spellborn still going? I was going to try it out just to see the combat system but that Secure/Guardian protection would not let be run the free 2 week option.

AoC for me so far.

I'm not saying it's the best, but I love the combat system of CoX.

It's fast, fun and hectic at times. Lots of different powersets that allow for many combat options.

Spellborn combat system is the best i'v seen so far

WoW definitely has the most fluid. That and the fact boss fights feel like I'm playing a console action game make it a very fun game, even though its lacking in other content like player housing and an in game music system like LotRO. LotRO has to have the worst combat system. It is slow paced and unsatisfying. If it wasn't for its combat and lack of a normal pvp system I'd play it over WoW..Champions Online also has a very fun combat system obviously designed for console players in mind. WARs combat feels like a slightly tweaked LotRO combat. Oh, and Fallen Earths combat leaves something to be desired. It isn't a FPS, but it wants you to play it as such. Ranged weapons are imbalanced and the hitboxes are all whacked out.

By far the Monster hunter and phantasy star series. That is what real combat is all about. If I move left I dodge left, If I click X I swimg my weapon. 

AoC takes it for me.

Guild Wars is second.

For controls, fluid movement, speed, leaving a lot of room to the player to make his own style; WoW hands down.  For depth in skills/mechanics, Guild Wars all the way.

Now if only I could get a game combining both of those aspects into one. 

Definitely Darkfall Online. Being able to aim, shoot and melee with not a single hint of auto-target completely floats my boat.

I feel the same way with this. 

I would like to see a non targeting system done well though that isn't in the first person mode and isn't some garbage game like AoC. 

AoC by far.

I agree. AOC is the best for combat. Champions is pretty good to for making you feel you are in the action.

for me the best battle system has Spellborn and today i will check fallen earth (I heard it is good)

Spellborn w/o any doubt

DDO and Fallen Earth seemed at least mildly interesting and had some different combat than I'm used to.

LOL it never seems to amaze me how WOW always seems to have the best this or that.  WOW battle system does not compare to Spellborn any any way.  Hell Runes of magic is even better than WOW even if it is a WOW clone.

I vote for GW, because it's fast-paced, unlike the WoW-styled one. Haven't played AoC yet, but I'm pretty sure I'd prefer GW's. :)

I would also have to go with CoH on this one.  The combat is fast and fluid, and great fun.  In a team environment it beats all other games I have played.  If the game wasn't so repetitious and the AE hadn't launched, I'd probably still be playing.

Without the slightest shadow of a doubt, DDO has the best combat system. It's the only game I've played where combat is actually the fun part of the game, and not just a tedious chore you have to go through to achieve your goals.

 tbh tabula rasa had a pretty nice battle system too,  WoW has smooth and fast combat, if you disagree, level to 80 and do some  serious rated arena :), spellborn has a unique intruiging battle system also...

Im gonna go with Planetside, back when there used to be those epic 150+ vs 150+ players fighting at once in epic battles.

I still remember the time i killed two reavers and a mosquito in one life flying my mosquito :)

Of course, its always fun when you ran into a guy in the middle of nowhere, and instead of killing him you hacked into his vehical and hijack it, leaving him with a rather long walk.
