Rangers are commonly used as group tanks, but rogue's defence caps far exceed those of a ranger.

With appropriate gear (see Cecily's suggestions - doesn't have to be terribly expensive) you should be able to take hits almost like a warrior (but admittedly run out of hp much faster).

'Worst' thing in a group with 3 rogues; the tank has to go afk for 15 minutes and no one steps up to fill the job cos everyone has 255 str but no defence skill practiced or worn ac.
