Yeah I agree with most posters above...
Go Pure STR Fire Glaive...
Tank like hell... Deal damage like hell. Perfect beginner build.
But - I do also agree with _ajax_ ... make your own character your OWN!!! By that... add a flavour of Ripper76 to the build.
Much more rewarding than following a textbook, imho.
EDIT: Yeah, yeah, yeah... but don't flop the build, also!
