Grouping...

[Ephirith]

There are very few situations where I'd prefer a shadowknight tank over a monk or warrior. Tbh, a decently proccing warrior or a monk can provide more than enough agro for a stable, functional group in the majority of situations.

Yes, rangers are mana sponges... but at least they can put out some dps. Even in sebilis etc, a slowed mob with a ranger tanking xp content isn't going to bankrupt the cleric, and if it does, your group probably has deep-seated issues beyond the presence of a ranger.

People overstate the usefulness of knight snap agro when capable monks and warriors are involved. I find it disputable whether knight agro is worth the loss of dps. As for rangers, everyone knows they are turds with some ability to shine in certain uncommon situations... but still just shiny turds. Hell, I was able to tell OP was a ranger because groups were rejecting him. Who gives a shit? I had fun playing mine, and people were usually pretty impressed with my root CC and outdoor pulling.
