110 Taming/Lore/Vet/Magery and 120 Music/Discord is a great goal to start and fairly cheap as far as scrolls and equipment. You'll want to end up with as high resists with 100 LRC but for the most part, you wont have to worry about resists until you start getting into tougher situations...

If you are coming back from scratch, Id start with a Samurai Paladin. They are much quicker to train and do very, very well against the hgher end mobs.

110/115 Swords/Bushido/Parry
100 Tactics/Anatomy/Healing
the rest in Chivalry

Look for armor with good resists and Mana Regeneration. Weapons with Stam/Mana/Life Leech are a nice addition too. Ornate Axes seem to be the flavor of choice with this template atm...
