- Your role in groups is to tank. Do you enjoy tanking? If so, both classes excel at this.

- Neither class plays a significant role in raiding, especially in Velious.

- Neither class is particularly good at soloing. Expect to mostly have to group to play EQ.

- Neither class is dependent on items when it comes to your primary job as a tank; to get and maintain mob aggro. You're thinking of a Warrior.

- If you're not min/maxing, then just pick the race that you think looks the coolest.
