This build uses Gladiator's Defense to provide defense and do a bit of damage. The main damage comes from the Channeling Magic skills to kill melee mobs. This build can farm Smite Crawlers in the Underworld, Mountain Trolls in Talus Chute, and Minotaurs in Elona Reach.

A +5 energy axe of Fortitude with a req 9 Tactics shield of Fortitude with -5 20%. Totem Axe works just fine.
The Headpiece should have +1 Channeling Magic with a Superior Rune of Channeling Magic.
Three armor pieces should have a Rune of Attunement.

Usage
Cast Splinter Weapon and Cruel Was Daoshen before you aggro a mob.
Aggro the mob and cast Gladiator's Defense.
Use Cruel Was Daoshen again, Ancestor's Rage, drop the ashes, and use Cyclone Axe.
When using this build, use the attack chain as fast as possible, or the enemies will flee. Usually, they won't flee if you do this fast enough.
The Underworld
Take the quest Clear the Chamber.
Pull each mob of Grasping Darknesses one by one using sprint.
Use the damage chain to kill the Grasping Darknesses.
When you have killed three groups, use sprint and enraging charge (if you are bringing it) to get to the Ice Wastes.
When you are there, kill each Smite Crawler group one by one. Each group should die pretty quickly.
Avoid Coldfire Night patrols.
