Class Question

I haven't yet downloaded and logged into the game since I'm at work, but what I was wondering:
I played DDO for like maybe an hour back in 2010 or earlier, but I was curious to look at it again since I was talking to a friend about it (I play LOTRO regularly).

My main question is what would be the recommend class that has good sustain, defense, and damage, which is able to solo content well and possibly group content? As LOTRO is the game I know (hoping some folks here play both games), I'll just use a comparison from that game. I play the Beorning, which has crazy health sustain and quite good damage and defense, which allowed me to solo a lot of group instances and other group landscape content, so kind of looking at something similar. I've played MMOs for 20 years, so I'm fairly adept at learning classes and playing the more complex rotations and things, so it's not an issue if suggested class is more complicated. I'd also be willing to pay for premium class(es) if needed (lord knows I pay too much on other MMOs as is), but I'm curious to know people's thoughts. Thanks for the help!

Most common classes in those parameters (which are also pretty common, you're only missing trapping) would be Warlock, Cleric, Paladin.

The new Arcane Trickster might also fit the bill, but it's not out yet. It will be given away for free to anyone logging in during the 20th anniversary event due to start in about 2 weeks.

This is an amazing build for playing the game solo or in a gorup. Very good DPS, trapping, evasion, ranged, some AoE + Imp Precise Shot, just has about everything. Even decent self healing through wands/pots until epic when you get cocoon and don't need anything else.

You can use it as a past life getter (I have been doing for many lives and it is amazing) or you could simply go 11 Ranger/9Arty if ya want for the full build.

I think many classes and builds can do that, though gear and knowing quests will eventually help a lot. In addition to Mateuse's suggestions, artificer or inquisitive-anything should be able to solo pew-pew through most content.

I'm not sure I'd recommend the "inq-past-life-getter" since the idea seems to be able to run through lives of different races and classes without experiencing them.

Without being familiar with LOTRO, Beorning might be similar to a DDO Bearbarian, barbarian/druid. Usually a mix of 3-18 levels of Bear-druid and 1-12 levels Barbarian, often with 1-2 levels Favored Soul. There are many variations around, like 18/1/1, 13/6/1, 8/11/1, 6/12/2 :)
