What makes Rangers worse tanks than Shadow Knights or Paladins?

[Daldaen]

Ranger with Haste Cloak, Both Epics, and decent tank gear is a fantastic cleric/shaman duo partner. Any of the healers really, but with druid there is too much overlap.

I would farm the PoWater bows on EQMac for a decent profit. PoFire bows required raid drops (fiend guts), PoAir bows sucked cause PoAir alpha sucked (those spiders were god awful), PoEarth bow wasn't terrible but the vine generally required a raid and the bow staff was pretty rare.
