Hello!
I've just returned to AoC after being gone since 2011. I see we have the ability to dual spec now, so I was thinking I am going to make one solo/survival PvE spec and one group/raid PvE spec. Now, I figure no-one cares what I do for Solo PvE, so I'll just make something I enjoy and gives me survival. I do however need some advice (or a ready build?) for the group spec.
The most important thing, I guess, is that I can't remember is Barbarians are supposed to bring anything to the fight, or if they are just melee DPS bots. The second thing, I have no idea about stats, and my reading a lot of advice has only made me more confused. (I ran this game solo for the most part back in the day, and raiding was done in with casual guildies who didn't care if I performed top notch, so I just put on whatever had bigger numbers). What are the sweetspot for hit? Is strength or dexterity a rogue's a best friend? Do I love gear heavy on combat rating or crit chance/rating the most?
I'd appreciate any pointers, links to up-to-date guides, and builds.

PS: A tad off topic but is Tortage level-locked now? Tried to go back to do some achievements, but the guy on the dock refused to take me.
