The abjurer is a full caster. He's not a martial. Don't confuse the ability to soak a hit or two with his ward as being a front liner. Do what wizards do best, stand in the back and do wizard things. If your positioning fails, you have your ward to help get you out of the bind.
As for the post above this one...the abjurer isn't a decent martial compared to a fighter.
TDLR; Abjurers are best in the back line using their ward as a precautionary in case someone tries to hit them, preventing them from needing any concentration checks or taking damage making them a pretty solid wizard subclass.
While Abjurer frontline tanks are certainly possible with the right combination of race and spells, they are still subpar compared to other martial characters designed to do the same thing.

if I edit a message, most of the time it's because of grammar. The rest of the time I'll put "Edit:" at the bottom.
