Take the insults back to RnF.

Also, you're flat out wrong. Clerics have less base HP and get less protection from AC. My 49 Cleric in cultural plate with maxed defensive skills and self-buffed to a higher displayed AC and several hundred more HP than my 46 Ranger can manage self-buffed will die faster to a melee mob. Take away the buff disparity and my Ranger can easily out-tank a 3-levels higher Cleric in stronger gear. A decently geared 46 Ranger can easily sustain tanking level-appropriate content in a group with a competent Cleric or Shaman for a healer. Rangers are gimped tanks, but they are still tanks. Clerics are not tanks. Gear and buff a Ranger as a tank and he will tank, try the same with a Cleric and you'll learn a new meaning for the word manasponge.
