Level 11 Neutral Good, Half-Orc undergoing +20 lesser reincarnation

This is a very old character that has several great tomes and other things because they are so old. They are Barbarian 6, Fighter 4 with enough xp to level, currently. I have both a +0 lesser heart and a +20 lesser heart. They have no past lives.

Can I turn this build into something that's R1 viable? My thought is warlock, but being Half Orc, I get -2 to Cha and Int... So my next thought was maybe Ranger? The main thing I'm wondering is how to shore up my saves since both Monk and Paladin are locked out by the alignment.

Thanks for any help :)

I think arcane archers or DWS rangers do pretty well in reaper - less chance to get one-shot when attacking from range and some self heals.

I'm no expert though, I solo whatever I feel like playing (predominately melees) and stick with Elite or R1.

For saves grab a resistance and parry item. Dex will keep your reflexes high. Chug cheapy potions of heroism for +2 saves.

What past lives do you have?
What kind of gear do you have?
Are you running with a group/solo?

This alt has no past lives.
I have a ton of melee and ranged gear. I have a GS bastard sword of the double air shard kind. My main has 400 cannith crafting, so that's a possibility, too.
I will group when I can, but would like to solo, since there doesn't seem to be enough pugs on my server.

I have done a 13Barb/6Ftr/1Fvs to 20 doing mostly reaper 1. Wasn't Half Orc but that shouldn't make much difference. Divine might, 6Ftr for feats and crit multiplier, take tier V ravager for healing and crit range. Before 14 you won't have the aps to use supreme cleave and blood tribute with both crit bonuses so you have to sacrifice for a few levels. If you have better wisdom than cha you can grab the wisdom one from Fvs instead. Keep a hire available for harder fights even after you get blood strength.
