Can a ranger twinked thusly tank for groups 1 - 50?

Hell a Bard is a worse Tank than a Ranger. Heck A Cleric is really not that bad as a Tank. They just can't kill anything lol. Play a top guild Cleric like I did in the day for 4 to 5 years, Raids and all, and tell me all about it.

I know on here you have to take what you can get. I have never turned someone down to Tank, even a Bard. But don't tell me a Bard or a Ranger is going to be your top pick if you had a choise as a Cleric healing them. Give me a big, ugly, fat Ogre Warrior.

But like I said a Ranger can kick some butt DPS wise. But you just have more down time. One problem, and it is not their fault, is you tend to use a Ranger as a Tank and a puller in a group. Even some CC. So they are getting hit form all sides.

Back in the early EQ days my main was a duel epic level 55 Ranger. 2000 to 2002. So I am not against them. Then I did the Cleric thing for 4 to 5 years after that. They just are not my favorite Tank to heal as a Cleric.
