Warriors have more weapon options in that respect. But if you don’t plan to raid, then a warrior shouldn’t necessarily be an option unless you just want to offer little to no use in a classic group.

You have taunt, but the majority of your aggro comes from weapon procs which you will not have for a long while.

Hybrids are the best group tanks and best tanks in classic. Rangers included. Warriors stand miles above them in raid tanking once they have their defensive disc after kunark. And equipped with the best gear, weapon swaps and clickers, a raid geared warrior is a Siberian group tank post classic.

Pre-kunark, SKs/Rangers ftw imo. Rangers have the same skill caps as warriors. Rubicite armor is the baseline goal for warriors and it’s usable by rangers...but rangers can generate aggro, heal, snare, sow, etc. by far the most versatile melee in classic imo.

Just my 2cp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Informative! Whats your 2cp on Monk vs Ranger as a small man tank/puller (if XP penalty was not an issue). The rest of the group would be sham, cler, ench, and either necro/mage (he's still deciding)
