So I am sure someone is going to disagree but..
1) Tanks are hard to play as a first char because gear is important and expensive.
2) Iksar tanks are especially hard because tanks wear plate but iksar cannot wear plate. In velious this changes but in Kunark you have to make do with other shit so to be viable is a little more difficult.
The server needs tanks but for sanity sake, especially if you are new to the game in general, it would be wise to play some sort of caster since they are much less gear dependent in general.
A shaman actually can fit the mage/tank role to an extent, at high levels they solo by slow tanking mobs (ie they cast slow on mobs so they hit slower then just face tank shit). They also are needed in groups, no exp penalty for the class and can solo well at higher levels.. you can also roll iksar shaman although you cannot equip jaundiced bone bracer as iksar which is a big perk item for shaman (click effect damage spell so you can kill things without using mana).
