Ok, so I have a W/E and I am asking for suggestions to make him a powerhouse!
Here is what I have so far:

All platemail
Helmet has Superior Vigor
Chest has Superior Absorption
Gauntlets Superior AxeMastery
Legging Minor Tactics
Boots platemail

Skill bar changes all the time but what would you suggest?
The reason I am asking is it seems to me I am getting hit a lot more then I should, so please any and all help/suggestions would be great!
If you need another info please let me know.

Try, Cyclone Axe, Bonneits, Glad Def, AfterShock, Crystal Wave, Doylak Signet, Healing Signet. <- This is for farming of course.

Daiken: Look for the hydra farming build and you'll find one - riposte is a key if I remember correctly.

Ronin: Are you level 20, max attributes? Using axe/sword + artifact for +12 energy?

I would have gone knights boots for absorb, weapon helm and gladiators everywhere else for 27 energy, +12 from artifact for 39 energy.

Here's a build, change sword/axe as desired, tweak attributes as desired:

Warrior Elementalist Fire

Swordsmanship: 12 (11+1)
Tactics: 10 (6+4)
Fire Magic: 12

- Galrath Slash (Swordsmanship)
This attack strikes for +32 damage if it hits.
Adrenaline:8

- Final Thrust (Swordsmanship)
Lose all adrenaline. If Final Thrust hits, you deal 32 more damage. This damage is doubled if your target was below 50% Health.
Adrenaline:10

- Inferno (Fire Magic)
All adjacent foes are struck for 99 fire damage.
Energy:10 Cast:0.75 Recharge:20

- Flame Burst (Fire Magic)
All nearby foes are struck for 91 fire damage.
Energy:15 Cast:0.75 Recharge:5

- Gladiator's Defense [Elite] (Tactics)
For 9 seconds, you have a 75% chance to block incoming attacks. Whenever you block a melee attack this way, the attacker suffers 25 damage.
Energy:5 Cast:0 Recharge:30

- Healing Signet (Tactics)
You gain 115 Health. You have -40 armor while using this skill.
Energy:0 Cast:2 Recharge:4

- Conjure Flame (Fire Magic)
Lose all Enchantments. For 60 seconds, if you're wielding a fire weapon, your attacks strike for an additional 13 fire damage.
Energy:10 Cast:1 Recharge:60

- Resurrection Signet ()
Resurrect target party member. That party member is returned to life with 100% Health and 25% Energy. You may use this Signet only once per mission.
Energy:0 Cast:3 Recharge:0
