New group of players looking for advice.

I wouldn't worry about failing your group as a tank, even though pally's and SK's are pretty gear dependant all you need to do is get aggro and they both do that fine with or without gear. For picking classes you should listen to Nevarun, EQ is a grind and if you don't like your class then your not gonna make it. I trio'd from 1-50 with 2 rl friends and we went pally, chanter, Cleric and could accomplish pretty much anything we wanted
