new player, first character

I am just starting out and I wanted to ask opinions on best/most fun classes/races. I like soloing and I like playing offensive/aoe tank characters. I would also like to be able to solo as much content as possible. I other words, which class / race is best suited:

To solo much content, but also aggressively tank, preferably with aoe damage?

Complexity is not a problem, I just have time only for one character and want to make it count :).

Thank you!

    Every class can solo well, so no need to worry about that really. You can pick what sounds the most fun.

    But if you want something offensive/tanky with Aoe dragonknight would be a great choice. In fact, that's exactly what a DK is. I'd also go Dunmer for race.

    Thank you for the suggestion! I've considered a sorc, but wasn't sure if pet-based builds would be in demand when I did decide to play dungeons. The idea of soloing group content through pets is very appealing to me, though....I like strategically setting up for a fight and then executing it and it sounds like this would be that.

    Just out of curiosity, which class is the best for doing AOE damage as a tank?

    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique
