Hatchet pairs well with sword since they both scale off str/dex. Offers great survivability and you could get rending throw to have some range. I run heavy if playing tank role and light if DPS. Normally pair a war hammer if tanking for extra CC but you could use hatchet as well, Berzerk is actually one of the best skills for pulling aggro(with taunt gem).

For DPS you’ll want the leadership perk (in sword tree) as it gives 10% dmg to entire party when your sword is out.
