Warrior, SK or Pally

[OneDankind]

I'm new here. Played a bit back in the day on Quellious but I'm basically a total noob.

Does race matter for Warrior? I really don't want to be an Ogre. I want to make a Human like some guy that helped me a couple times on Quellious when I played(gnome warrior, lol). I can't remember his name. I think it was after a Cleric spell or w/e that's what I remember about it. lol.

Are tanks needed here like most other MMO's or are there reasonable classes that can tank well enough(monk, ranger from what I've read)? I don't remember from back in the day.

Though I think Pally may be more useful with the heals and that for grouping.

What should I do!?

Thanks.
