Rangers, decent tanks?

[VincentVolaju]

So everyone is always trashing Rangers saying they are pretty much bad at anything, but I was wondering how much of that is actually true? For example I have heard there DPS is terrible and they cant tank. However, if Flame Lick works the same as Disease Cloud, what makes an SK, Pally or War a better tank then Ranger? In a group you usually always have a healer, especially on this server so as far as tanking goes I would think as long as you can hold aggro without any problems then thats all you need for a tank, yeah?

AC is poor compared to begin with.

Distracting mobs while the Cleric zones out because you tried using a Ranger to tank like a fucking idiot.

Played ranger for years on live, and yes the class is no tank. However, great class for pulling and protecting the casters while adding to DPS. Great class... that few understand how to utilize.

[Binsfelthakis]

they are good at pulling, keep mobs snared and such, DPS and slight druid buffs mostly. they are half warrior half druid so arent too great at any one thing but are versatile.
I loved playing a ranger you really have to use your wits at times, and forage/tracking/sow is nice ^^

Sure, a twinked out Ranger could probably tank a significant way towards 50, the closer you get, the worse and worse you get.
