I was so ready to hate this post and argue against it, but I wound up agreeing with you by the end. I would never roll an SK, but that is also because I have been playing EQ for the better part of 20 years and I know that if I want to tank on a new server, I roll a chanter first and then twink the balls out of my warrior later.

Starting from zero, no knowledge, no plat, and just knowing that you like to tank, SK is almost certainly the right call. They tank very well in all content before raids, they are far more versatile than warriors, and they are far more forgiving with regard to learning curve.

Just dont start as an Iksar SK, the XP penalty and the loneliness of starting in Kunark is too much for your first character. Later you may enjoy it, but as a first EQ experience I do not recommend it.
