Although I created this build with new players in mind, it can be easily modified by seasoned players by simply switching some Feats and Enhancements around. I placed some of the Active Feats/Enhancements towards the higher levels, whereas experienced players may prefer to take these sooner, and perhaps replacing Power Critical with another Feat, such as another Toughness.
Basically, this my DDO version of the Dwarven Defender Prestige Class found in D&D 3.x (but without all of the Dodge Feats). He’s able to solo quests quite well with the help of a cleric hireling, but has decent enough Intimidate and DPS to help keep aggro off of the rest of the party when playing in a group.

This build focuses on both defense and offense. Specialize in the Dwarven Waraxe, and wield a shield. However, to help with DPS, he utilizes both Two Handed Fighting and shield bashing. Looking forward to constructive criticism!
