I am using the hammer right now but would love to here from others. I want better survivability. I have to use potions a lot.
Hatchet + Ice Gauntlet has been fun. With hatchet you’re invincible for most of the early game using Berserk. Ice Gauntlet provides a ranged option and decent crowd control. Don’t share any attributes but I’m enjoying it regardless.

Awesome thank you for reply. I heard axe and life staff. but want to here more about it.
playing spear / bow
spear for cc and dmg and bow for aoe and debuffs.
Hatchet, Bow full STR on lower levels. For optimization gathering and crafting.
Just the usual rapier-fire for me. Rapier is mostly used for mobility and fire does the majority of the damage.
Rapier can burst, but it’s hard to pull off given the short range of rapier’s attacks. You can fleche in offensively, land behind them, attack-evade-attack for some crits… But then you’ve lost the best mobility tool in your kit and you’re probably going to get decked by someone wearing an axe, hatchet or the offensive sword build.

I tank a lot for my group of friends, and I love warhammer and sword and shield. Sword and shield for single target tanking and Warhammer is just an AoE powerhouse.
I also like War Axe when i’m feeling more frisky. All heavy armor builds lets gooo
Bow + Sword and Shield.
Only have to split points between STR and DEX.
Can support from range with DPS or go in and deal big damage with a Shield to absorb the big nasty hit.
I keep migrating back to hatchet/bow
Main tools are a shield and longsword. My backup is a bow. Nothing fancy at all…just the basics.
Pick up the agro with an arrow…stab em in the knees when theyre in your face. 
Spear and Musket. Primarily pvp. Recently picked up Rapier and trying to get down the timing and spacing of this thing, but it’s a fun weapon, irrespective of the fact that I am impotent with the thing at the moment.
I like Fire Staff / Ice Gauntlet combo…
I do heavy attacks on the fire staff … because they cost no mana … they return mana and reduce the cooldowns
I do light attacks with Ice Gauntlet … they return mana …
So I can use abilities and then use heavy or light attacks to get mana back …
I’m finding the spear + musket to be extremely fun, although I might migrate to IG purely for defense. The attributes for the pairing aren’t ideal, but with spear’s CC and IG’s defense with the block and tomb, the combo works for me. I was rolling Great Axe for a time, but it seemed like everyone was using it, and wanted to use something that wasn’t totally OP and mindless face-rolling on the keyboard to use effectively.
Hatchet / Bow
Straight Dex so far for more backstab and crit damage.
Massive bow damage to dumpster enemies form afar, hatchet for the up close and personal. Seems to work pretty darn well.
