It’s not so much AC as the hp pool of the average ranger. Mine usually runs MR gear for the fantasy I might pull something. Without BiS that usually means a mid/low 2k hp ranger. Where a tank can more confidently stack hp > all gear (AC usually comes with it). I’ve tanked slowed cliff golems with my ranger and get beat up pretty bad. The pally it’s rather boring. Whether due to the AC, defense skills, or almost double the self buffed HP. Technically either works though so it just depends on perspective and how much mana efficiency matters.
With a quick slow anyone can tank anything. Hell, Bard regen is enough to keep up with almost any blue con and the right group composition. Objectively though, rangers are more squishy then knights. Knights a bit more than monks (it’s close but monks prob have the edge, but average with higher hps). Warriors are the best outside aggro.
Slow early. Make sure nobody runs out of red bar. Win the game.
