ok first you can buy 32 pt build now starting out with turbine points, 2nd im not a huge fan of "following a build" i enjoy adding my own style to my characters i cant stay in some one Else's box so to speak. so my recomendation is do your own thing, but for giggles i took a look at this riott build for my self and made some adjustments. here ya go.
this is a bit tough for me i am a min/maxer i focus on 1 or 2 stats and hell with the rest, my toons are usually really good at one area. but here goes
stats as taken from riott build and adjusted by me.
human fighter
15 str(3 from fighert str , 1 human adap 4 from lvl up) 23total eat a +1 tome 24
12dex
16 con(human adaptibilty 1, 1pt at a lvl up) total 18
14 int
8 wis
8 cha
i felt con was more important stat than dex wiz and str in a tank build so i borrowed a few points to boost it up more, the int is justified for combat experties, but the build also dose not take that till lvl 10 witch is plenty of time to add a 1 point of int by lvl up stat pt or +1 tome... mmm yummy. (if starting it at 12)
feats
i notieced that the feat takes toughness alot to make up for the lack of con at the start, still a good move, i love toughness as a feat my self and take it often at least once, 4 might be over kill but fighters to get loads of feats, and with some of the other feats here 5-6 x might be even better. you in your build may want to focus in a different direction. and the abundance of slashing specialization is a bit overkill if u ask me. but eh im sure he hits well. here is what i would do with feats
1-luck of heroes
1F - Dodge
1H - toughness
2F - Weapon Focus (Slashing)
3 - lightning reflexes
4F - Weapon Specialization (Slashing)
6 - Toughness
6F - Combat Expertise
8F - Improved Critical (Slashing)
9 - Skill Focus: Intimidate
10F - bullheaded(will save and intim bonus)
12 - Toughness
12F - Greater Weapon Spec. (Slashing)
14F - Shield Mastery
15 - Toughness
16F - Power Attack
18 - Toughness
18F - Improved Shield Mastery
20F - Greater Weapon Focus (Slashing)
eh i will put this disclaimer i have not played fighter very high level so i might not know what im doing. and i am no super expert, the guy with this build was a long time player, more experienced that i . again i encourage you to do your own thing playing some one Else's character might ruin your experience of the game. also this build said gear intensive, starting out in the game with little or no backing for gear, getting to the point this character is good might take a lot of work.
i can give you starting pointers to a ranger build, but nothing fully spelled out, rog dose 2 things for u starting out if you invest in int it gives u lots more skill pts, and gives you sneak attack bonus, more lvls of rog is wasted rangers are amazing dps with dual wielding.
oh and one last thing next mod they are imputing reincarnation, one of the possibilities for this is at 20 u re do your character start over at lvl1 not as a 28 or 32 pt but a 34pt build(even a 28 pt build will), getting to re-pick race class every thing, except the name. drawback it takes 2x more exp for each rank(grind harder) . this can be done im told twice, getting 36 pt build with 4x more exp needed 2nd time around. (you keep your gear, you lose tomes you have ate)
i hope this helps some what... took me a few hours to look at this info and give you my responce, if you need gear or any thing starting out or just some one to grind up with at lvl 1 drop me a line.
