New Player Looking for Build Advice

Hello all. I finally got around to buying this game and am hoping it will keep my attention for a while. What I am looking for is advice on a build. I believe the magic Templar build fits me best. Here is why.

I generally play solo. I understand to get the uber stuff I will need to group, but I still prefer solo play. I generally only PvE. I have played lots of MMOs so I think I have a good understanding of the mechanics of this game. So far its actually a lot easier than a lot of games I have played so I really like that.

While I generally prefer pet classes or ranged (since when your solo you tend to kite a lot) from the reading I did it sounds like magic Templar may be a great solo build. Assuming this is true, I need assistance with the build. I have looked online and there are so many different builds described. Also, it is clear that a solo build should be different from a group based build. Also, I am starting to learn that a leveling build is not going to be the same as an end game solo build. I am currently level 9 and just picked up the game yesterday so be kind with the veteran talk that I won't understand.

Thanks so much for the help. Liking what I am seeing so far.

    Magic Templar is a great first character. Your main attack heals you and you have Breath of Life if you ever need it.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I would appreciate any links to leveling guides as that will help me figure out what the best skills/attributes are for me.

    Thx

    Just play... you are only level 9 and honestly that's a long long way from best build. You can change attributes, skill point allocation later if you make a fatal error (fatal errors are really hard to make).

    Level as many skills as you can.... level 15 means you get a second skill bar and a second weapon....

    But right now just play the game.
