Warriors are boring. Auto attack and taunt? And the occasional kick? dont do it. Everyones so twinked and they dont give you time to get aggro they just go all out right away.
I have a 32 paladin and its the greatest tank ever. You will never lose aggro. Pull with a bow and cast a few blinds and the mob will never get off your nuts. I dont even bother with stun unless its a caster. I dont know how blind works for aggro past 32, but so far its like an I-Win button for tanking. As long as you are on the mobs aggro list it wont run/be feared from blind. Pally gear is cheap as hell too. You can get all the Deepwater minus legs/bp for 300p a pop. For DPS staff of baton is 30/40 2hb sells for 200p, pally only. Ghoulbane isnt that expensive, Sword of the Mourning you can get for 500-700ish if you find the right person and that weapons awesome. Or just get a green jade broadswod 11/25 for 200p.
IF you roll the best paladin race - ERUDITE - you can get a godly shield that exclusive to them. 20 str/20sta, 30 ac + ultravision. for 300-400p.

I may choose paladin, then. That sounds like it might work well for me. What's your opinion on shadow knights? I have a 28 SK that would help me avoid trudging through some of the early levels.

[Rangers] are not a really strong class, but they are also undeserving of such a negative reputation. There are a lot of people who gear and play rangers like idiots and they tarnish the class more than should be the case.
So you don't like to solo nearly as much as group, and you prefer melee, but you'd like to be able to solo when you need to. Sounds like monk might be the right choice if you can overcome your distaste for pulling.
If you are having a really hard time finding groups as a rogue, you may need to do a bit more research on where to go, or put more effort into relationships. Find out where people your level are, or send tells and make your own group.

Well, I have a 46 ranger, and my biggest irk with them is that they receive that nasty experience penalty without much to show for it.

I'm a complete slacker, but I've found it quite cheap and easy to twink my main warrior and solo her entirely to about 30th level. Not quickly, mind you, but easily. So, don't believe that propaganda about them being 100% group dependent. You don't need top gear to be effective, and there's a lot of great gear that's not that expensive.
And if some people won't let you build aggro, screw 'em.
But Pallies and SKs are great, and aren't nearly as group dependent. I do miss having lifetaps.

Another plus for paladin, then! I actually have an SK that I started leveling up but then stopped on. I may go back to her if that's the case.

By your reactions to each class sounds like you need to play another game.

Thanks! It's handy when people just come right out and demonstrate why I should completely disregard their opinion like that. Much appreciated!

Shaman at 60 is arguably the best solo class in game along with enchanter and necro.
As far as enchanter not directly contributing. With a charmed pet you do more dps than any person in the group. With a good pet sometimes I do more dps than the group combined. That is along with providing great buffs and cc to group. But it is not a lazy mans class. Same as bard

True, though I would live with the constant fear of being eaten by my pet when it breaks charm.
Lots of input so far. I find myself leaning towards either Paladin or SK, MAYBE warrior? The agro thing is meh...Shaman maybe, too. Still deciding, but thank you to everyone that's provided useful input so far!
