New to DDO need a little help

[magnuspete]

Due to my family lifestyle I wanted to build a solo type avatar. Now I've seen a good build of a 17 cleric/2 mnk/1 rouge. Now the description was lvl 1 build rouge and such, now does that mean I should roll a rouge then when I hit lvl 2 multi class to my cleric?? Or do you multiclass to rouge at lvl 2. The multiclass thing has me a little confused anyhelp would be so magnificent.

Start as a rogue (for the extra skill points to allocate). Then when you have enough xp to go to level 2, speak to a cleric trainer and take the 2nd level as cleric.

I would not take your 2nd level of rogue until you are above 8, then you get your evasion abilities. Until then using heavy plate should keep you covered nicely. *** This is assuming you start with a high dex and can later on use your dex bonus to its full effect.

I would advise against a build like this for a new player. Its highly gear, Tome and playstyle dependent.

What would you think is a good starter solo friendly class

[Vouivre]

Probably Monk if you have access to it or Paladin are some fairly good solo classes. Cleric is good as well since they are very self-sufficient.

I always suggest a Pure build first. Get a Feel for the game. If you Bough FvS, go with that. otherwise, a Cleric with a mid level STR works very well.

Paladin.
