What makes Rangers worse tanks than Shadow Knights or Paladins?

[Brut]

What is with this stuff about rangers becoming top tier dps come Velious? The 2hander buff goes to all the other classes too, warriors/monk with their triple 2hander swings will still have a huge edge. Pally/SK with a 2h wep will be no different from a ranger with one.

The attack buffs rangers get in Velious are group buffs, so they're not just the rangers sole benefit. Greater Wolf Form is 10 more ATK than Share Wolf Form. Anyone can get Aura of Battle gear. Anyone can get Avatar. Rangers wont be having some 200atk on everyone else.

Plus Velious still has a problem of very few ranger-only weapons. They'll still be 4th on the list of desired 1hander drops after warriors/rogues/monks/probably even bards.
