For caster melee skills, run up and melee any mob that is running away to get some hits in and skill up over time.
Biggest thing is leveling everything to max at low levels as others have mentioned. Defense skills will come in time as you make mistakes that result in you getting hit when you otherwise shouldn't at higher levels but the more you can do early on (switching to a new weapon type when your main is maxed even if its a rusty weapon for example) will help a ton.
