After you built your war axe, upgrade the black Ice shield to Dominance Ice. Then use oracle if there's a healer on your side/or more shield from your passive. Then radiant armor if there are mages like Cyclops who can deal continues damage. If they are burst damage type mages then use Athena's shield. After that, you can use Chastise Pauldron if their Marksman are relying on their attack speed. But if they are the marksman who deals critical damage, it's better to use blade armor.
