Being that this is EQ I would recommend joining groups and not worrying about what you can solo. You can fill in the tank roll well into your 40's. Use Flame Lick for instant aggro. A woodsman's staff will cost you about 7k. Better to stick with your silver swiftblade until the rest of your gear is decent.
I wouldn't recommend a Ranger if your goal is to solo.
Well that isn't my goal, I would prefer to group. It's just with 3 kids, half the time that I do find a group, after about 30 minutes I have to bail because my daughter wakes in the middle of the night or something and then I feel like an asshole to the group. I just want the "option" to solo and I want something other than a caster. I love my mage and enchanter but I'm interested in playing a melee. I had a Paladin and Warrior on live back in 00'-01' (35th, 55th levels) so I know about sitting in groups for hours, but I just don't have that time anymore. Anyways, I don't want to go warrior or rogue because they are so group dependent unless you have a fungi which I obviously can't afford, and I have already played a paladin on live, hence my interest in a Ranger.
