from what i see on the forums, alot of people either dont really like intimitanks unless, some times for raids.

now, i'm a newb, i wanted to build a very sturdy character that can help my team, but this kinda turns me off it i'm probably, most likely, not going to get in a group later game. should i maybe focus on just a DPS sword-n-shield fighter while going the stalwart defender prestige?

and i can't say i really trust in preset builds. i never really like things automatically raising my stats n whatnot, but i will follow guides n somewhat alter it to my liking, so if anyone has a helpful guide for newbs (i dont understand alot..ALOT of accronyms, i never played PnP and all this reading n starring at the comp is giving me a headache, sometihng simple would be nice.)

thanks in advanced.
