As far as aggro, ranger is pretty equal to bard. I think the point, tho, for having a substandard tank (utility hybrids) is snap aggro and damage, which the ranger will have an easier time with consistently vs bard. As a rogue, my favorite tank was always ranger. I’ve tanked a whole lot of places on my ranger 1-60, and pretty well too.
Bard’s melee damage is bad, but they have neat tricks. Dunno how sustainable charming is, but that’s about the coolest thing you can do in a pinch. Most people bad and don’t have gaz ring though and that really fucks up the pace waiting on charm breaks.
Culprit used to powerlevel my alt rogue and bard tanking (seb/KC) is pretty bad ass, quite honestly.
