Are those your base stats or equipment boosts as well? Also I think you wasted a few skill points. If you could provide pics of your equipment that would help, or at least the weapon.
I'm also playing a warrior type except I'm using Dual Wield which is the most effective weapon type, followed by sword and shield, 1-H and 2-H are about the same, last unarmed is the worst/most difficult to use. I think it was a mistake to put points into the 2-h skill as I'm at the point just after you get the battle tower and I never put any points into weapon-type skills. You also need more points in general battle skills and passive damage skills, as well as better/different equipment. Consider getting a weapon that also has magic damage. You should be able to find a good one in any of the weapon shops, try the guy on the beach near Hermosa, the women in the black boar, or Carlin at the top of Lovis' tower. A weapon with both magic and melee damage can double your power.
Summons aren't that good mainly because you must keep putting points into them for them to be useful. I imagine you got the ghost for its healing ability but unless you only use it between fights enemies will quickly kill it as it's only level one. Your creature is much better backup as it levels with you and doesn't have a timer. Mind-read is also a waste as you should be able to get enough EXP during the game to reach the mid-30's with only one point in it. Life Tap is also bad as you shouldn't need it if your a warrior, besides potions are better and don't sacrifice HP.
As you have 5 points invest in the strongest skills of the game(to me anyway), Fire Wall, Exploding Arrow, and Thousand Strikes. FW is great as warriors will have enemies near them anyway. EA is a great skill to start a battle as enemies tend to stand near each other and can help take away a large chunk of their HP, it's also cheap and can be shot every 5 seconds. TS can one-shot or at least inflict alot of damage on enemies and is great for boss's. You also need a point in Rush Attack as it helps against ranged enemies which should be the first one's you defeat, as well as getting around the battle field. Put the last point in Bleed or Battle Rage to help enhance damage or Mana Efficiency to make skills cheaper. If you can't get enough MP for TS then put its point in life leech to help with healing, or one of the last three I mentioned.
Put about 6 more points in str, and split the rest between spi, dex, and int. Make sure all enemies have been killed in past areas and see if you can get to 18.
