Pure Favored Soul is going to be a much better solo character than this.

Remember that DDO rewards pure classes substantially more than it rewards multiclasses, *especially* when it comes to casters of any flavor. There are exceptions, of course, a splash here, a couple levels there, but there are not many new-player-friendly builds that take more than a few levels outside their "main" class.

For instance, why so many rogue levels if you're not going to have a decent disable device? Why stop at level 5, when level 6 gets you Assassin I? Why 7 fighter levels? Why 8 FvS levels?

Honestly, I'd say you're better off rolling a pure FvS. They can melee like a champ, especially given a few of their enhancements and melee-oriented spells, and they bring some substantial casting along with it.

Check out some of the pre-build threads, like "Tihocan's Paths Revisited" which is sticked in the new player forum.

Thanx So im guessing Should i pick a FvS template or Custom it and this way i can put points into open locks , disable devices, search and spot? and pick up bow, axe, hes gonna be dwarf or halfing for the heals not sure which yet..

[CrazyDoc]

Ok so here is my second build and what im planning taking into account ill be soloing alot and healing with pet support, melee with some ranged support when needed (for those suckers up i cant reach)..
Im good with opening locks/doors, detecting traps, umd, hiding and moving silently im mostly fvs with splash or Rogue and a splash of fighter to give me the feats let me know what you think...i might just go with 1 level in rogue and 1 fighter and rest in fvs but want advice on community
