Paladins can stun and Rangers can't, but really that's the only thing they have. Rangers with hp/ac itemization are better than warriors from 1-59, and just as strong, if not stronger, than the knights.
Hitting level 20 and have a woodsman's staff in the bag is the most fun I have ever had on EQ. And you're not tied down by having to equip shields to bash, so you deal very decent damage with proper weapons. And you can root, snare, and harmony outdoors. And you can track. "Where the nameds at?" "Right here." And if you get sick of people, you can solo much better than a Paladin can.
Paladins are much better than Rangers at tanking caster mobs because they can properly counter-spell, but really a Ranger is just as good in all the other areas.
