A Ranger does just as much DPS as a Warrior till Disks. Granted they can't "Tank" as well but with slows and haste form a Shaman they do damn well till low 50's. Snare is a Huge advantage. A lot less heals needed. And Harmony is unresistable. And with the Druid Tracking nerf they are more needed now than ever.
I say go for it. Their gear is cheap also. They are not bad solo either. There is only 4 tank classes in EQ. A Ranger sure as hell can solo better than a Warrior. SK, Pally, Ranger all have 40% XP penalty or more on them. Hell a Iksar Monk has a 44% penalty. People seem to forget all about that.
Play what you enjoy. There is a big lack of tanks on here. Rangers get lots of neat spells high end and Bow Kiting can be a lot of fun. Sort of like Cat and Mouse.
