Even so, the extra DPS the ranger would do would in no way make up for the extra mana loss spent during the mana-to-hp conversion rate required to prop a ranger up vs a warrior, nor would it make up for the XP penalty the ranger is sticking the group with.
When you get to 50+ on your ranger, you will understand... unless you stick to Sol B or Lower Guk until you can't get XP from them anymore.
There is a reason they added Jolt on Live a few months into Kunark. While aggro isn't quite working the same here and rangers have been getting by just fine without Jolt, we're not efficiently tanking mobs that hit for 120+ in Kunark unless you've got the gear that Zilo has from being in the top raiding guild on the server.
I keep emphasizing efficiently, because you CAN tank these mobs. I am not saying you can't tank in Karnor's Castle or Sebilis or even in Howling Stones. We're just not the best choice for it when other options are available to a group.

With a shaman slowing , cleric buffs and the hpgear you can tank at any level just fine..... in some cases a ranger will accually tank better than said knight /warrior(key word some) .However, with that being said, that doesnt mean you should.
Jolt is a wonderful tool that will allow rangers to do the job they should be doing better, Secondary tank. get the mob off the caster/cleric and hold agro till its either mezzed or the tank as biult up enough hate .Cast jolt to assure that the tank can get agro back w/o too much of a hassle
