This was not for raiding but for actually playing the game and enjoying it

To the OP all classes are awesome fun choose a class and race combo you can enjoy and relate to and that has a city or region you enjoy hanging at.

For me right now I would probably make a rogue because they're cool, but a warrior is a close call. Rogues are fun because you can do some sneaky exploring.

But really...play what you like and get into it.
Oh yea, ranger definately is disadvantaged compared to the true tanks on the toughest fights. They are not raid boss tanks (though they can do guardian wurms, kael arena, HoT in a pinch should no other tank be immediately available). That said, rangers are often used to tank bosses between tank switches using weaponshield. I think it is probably fair to say in accumulated seconds rangers spend more time intentionally tanking raid bosses than either plate knight has.
