We can tank normal grind stuff just fine. SK/Pal of course mitigate better, but a well geared ranger vs. a knight is kind of a wash in most situations. Depending on the situation, you'll probably have slightly more healer mana related downtime, but usually its not particularly noticeable. I wouldn't call it a liability. In a lot of groups, really you just need to hold its attention while the casters/rogues blow it to bits, and that works out fine with a ranger.
