Mechanically warriors might be broken on this server because things aren't working the way they should.

This doesn't negate the fact that warriors were still heavily relied on for raid tanking in classic. So while they underperformed they were still viable and capable.

My experience with them in groups is that they tank just fine (admittedly the only warriors I tank with are rolling BOBDE&Ringed Mace).

Rangers suffer because they don't offer enough to a group to justify the xp penalty. Once the penalty is removed then life should get easier for them. Jolt (which should be in any time now) should also help. Now picking up a ranger gives you respectable DPS and a backup tank with their utility and no negatives. They still probably won't be picked over a monk or rogue, but people will be less likely to ignore them outright and xp with 5 people and wait for a rogue/monk to become available.

I'd agree though that Luclin AA's were what finally allowed rangers to come into their own. Respectable sustained DPS while outside the range of most AOEs? awesome. Massive DPS for a good duration outside the range of most AOEs? Super awesome.
