Newcomer help

[Kelethin]

Hello everyone, I am new to the world of DDO and I am looking for some help/advice.

So basically I have played countless MMO's and I want one that is more skilled base, which I hear DDO is, anyway I would love some advice on a charater class and whatnot.

I know I want to be a tanking class, one that can take alot of damage, and solo well when I wish to, but also one that a group would love to have. Basically I would like to know a good build to do this and whatnot and good classes, perhaps gear layouts but im sure I could figure that out later.

Anyway

Thanks! To all whom leave a comment to this!

I would like to add to this are there any good guilds looking for members I will be active as much as I can be, of course I got school ( 17 years old ), but this is my last year of highschool so I will be much more active.
