I can remember back on live it OT'd the boss in Kanors... Slips my mind his name at the moment, it was for my Epic.
What is your hatred towards rangers anyways?

Depends on the skill of the rangers player, and gear. To me a good tank can grab and hold agro. if no CC grab and hold aggro on multiple mobs. I played healer for more then 90% of my eq life. I would rather heal one guy with multipule mobs on him. Than 2 guys with one mob on them each.
I play a Bard, I've tanked almost the whole way to 50. I've yet to group with anyone that can hold agro off me when I want it. This includes a raid tank for a specific guild... he knows who he is. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (BTW you still owe me 1k) Honestly though it comes down the player skill, and how much you work on your gear. I've seen rangers out tank pallies, sk's, and warriors - Raid excluded. Although for raids they still have their uses as a minute man for rezing your actual tank/tanks if needed. Called minute man because they usually don't last much longer after. So yes, for groups they are decent. Not the best, but decent. | ||

Grouping 1-50 A ranger will do just fine, if not better as far as PuG agro control goes. End of story :-)

they are good at pulling, keep mobs snared and such, DPS and slight druid buffs mostly. they are half warrior half druid so arent too great at any one thing but are versatile.
I loved playing a ranger you really have to use your wits at times, and forage/tracking/sow is nice ^^ | ||

No one plays this class, just like on live. And if I joined a group over lvl 5 and saw a ranger tank I would turn tail and leave.

I've played a ranger to 50 on this server, and yes we can tank just fine in groups. I've been tanking most of the time because we didn't have another tank, and it was just fine in oasis/unrest/hhk/solB. Got banded at lvl 12, ivy etched in my 30s, and could always tank fine, and hold aggro easily. I tanked royals in solB at lvl 38 for a few hours, didn't have any problem. I'm still wearing ivy ethched at 50 (thorny vine is damn rare) and I can tank frenzy/am/lord without a slower (need a cleric though). Of course I'm not tanking during raids.
During raids I'm mostly CC and DPS. Yes CC, as in snare and root park adds when you have only 1 enchanter and there are 5 mobs inc. Trust me, it does work. Druid can do that but it's harder for them because they do go down very fast. Fully raid buffed, I'm over 2.6k HP and 800ac, and I still don't have any planar armor (and missing a few other stuff too). When my fluxbladed axe procs a lot I sometime tank fear/hate trash mobs and I may be eating more mana than a warrior but it's still ok. I have yet to die on a raid except for when the raid wipe. If you want pure DPS, go play a rogue or mage. If you don't mind a weaker DPS for utility spells, play a ranger. | ||

Thought I'd throw this in (about 4 pages too late).
Bard tankage >>>>>>>>>> Ranger tankage. Sad, but true. Especially on P99.
