Just thought I share this if no one has yet brought it up but I've been playing a warrior since I bought this game and found out that a good skill combo in combat is:
Skeletal Wall
Transfer Powers
Restoration
You want these at level 3 at least to be worthwhile in the long run. Transfer powers skill is very powerful especially if you character is 20+ lvl. The skills your skeletons receive is quite good.
I'm hestitant on aura of command skill though as you can only command 1 summoned per level it looks like so the skill points are better spent just making skeletal wall or transfer power better.
It's also best to only max out on one weapon type (I chose sword and maxed it to level 5) though having a bow skill in addition to your main weapon is very useful. There are just some areas in the game that you need a bow or thrown weapon to solve a quest.
Using bow skill along with skeletal wall is also very effective <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
