What makes Rangers worse tanks than Shadow Knights or Paladins?

[Splorf22]

1. Rangers have some 20% fewer HP than Shadowknights and Paladins
2. Rangers are ~100AC behind as well
3. 1 + 2 -> Cleric spends 40% more mana healing
4. Rangers can tank most xp group content just fine if there is a shaman around

This. Rangers simply can't mitigate dmg as well as the other two.

Velious high end ranger is a absolute dps monster.

1: their atk natural get bosted.
2: their weapon skill get bigger.
3: they can stack up aura of battles items so bigger atk.
4: they get extra atk buffs.
5: hybrid spell casting help them to even nuke better btw mele swings and not lose dmg.
6: primal will add more atk to ranger.
7: Velious 2hs revamp make a ranger real dps become 2 hander usable to greater effect due to being the class with higher atk in game .

do not confuse actual lamenes of 2 hander in current game with what they become later in velious.

a high end 2 hander dps ranger in velious if not use as cannon fodder for weapon shield , something irrelavtrn with mallets and clikys uses, can be easily pull in more dmg than monks with 2handers and tripple atatck and closing in to rogues more than they would like .

Side-note/tangent: I had this group comp in MM 2 weeks ago. Two rogues (epic'd) were tabbed out half the fights, the cleric had an attitude, barely remembered to sit and the enchanter would try to mez things his pet was blatantly attacking without trying to call it off. We wiped a couple times. It was heart breaking

Couple days ago did ranger, monk, monk, bard. Chain pulled red cons in CoM and never had downtime.

A good composition can't beat experienced players.

Epic rogue twinks are entitled, whiny, bad players.

Mezzing something his pet was attacking is unforgiveable, but how would you suggest the chanter "call off" his pet?
