Default paladin or ranger?

I've never tanked in a video game before, but I think playing a paladin of tunare seems cool. I also heard that "knights" are gonna get their damage buffed eventually? is that just shadow knights or does that include pallys? what is tanking like in eq?

rangers seem like they'd be better at soloing though

I played a bard up to 20 mostly soloing but without doing any of that swarm kiting bs but my hand started to cramp up and it hurt to pick up shit or a while

I don't really know what to play

The knight upgrade would apply to paladins as well.

Tanking is about holding aggro and soaking up damage. It's not for everyone.

Also, I sent you a PM with some tips.

Rangers are not technically a tank class. If you want a tank class that can solo via fear kiting, then Shadowknight is your answer.

This seems kind of cruel. Picking between the two worst classes of velious. I like paladins but ranger tracking is pretty dope. ranger. But paladin can split indoors and outdoors. paladin. Then again ranger gets spirit of wolf. ranger. But paladin gets a 90% res. paladin.

grr... Hard choice.

Edit: If you plan to make it to 60,. some food for thought.
Paladin:
SANCTIFICATION, lvl:60, Immunity to most types of harmful spells, Duration:18 Sec, Cooldown:72 Min

Ranger
WEAPONSHIELD, lvl:60, Parry all melee attacks from the front, Duration:15 Sec, Cooldown:72 Min

I tried both into the 20ties, ranger was more fun overall. But with a pally you had those rare moment when your lay hands saved the group, feeling heroic all around...

Both can be fun. If you like outdoors leveling, ranger looks better. In dungeons some of the rangers abilities get obsolete so pally is looking better there.
