Tanks always seem to be in short supply, so you shouldn't spend too long LFG.
SKs are great, best aggro holders in the game at the moment. Level 9 and disease cloud is your friend long time

Racially, play what you want...ogres and trolls have better tanky stats, but they come with racial exp penalties, and despite what people say there is a bit of discrimination about allowing a troll SK into groups sometimes because people don't want to have to share your hybrid/racial penalty. Those people are idiots, but it does happen

If you do roll an ogre or troll, have a think about a run to Nektulos/Neriak to start levelling there - grab a sow if you can
