As a lower lvl ranger who finds myself forced into that tanking roll a lot lately due to a lack of Knight/Warrior tanks wandering about, I'd love to know what your process is for being a good ranger tank.

Thanks.

Rather easy, when you pull use harm if more than one, then flame them. After in camp you root and get as close in melee range as you can since root = closest target to middle of npc will have agro no matter what. I know I tank better than most sk/pals even at 38, but this is due to yak/fbss and having 1350hp unbuffed at 38. Also rangers are amazing for CC, when if i pull 2 or 3 i just tank and ghetto mez (root off).

Yea what's said above.. Also I know gear is limited but until like mid 40s I say always pick ac over any stat. The ac mitigation helps much more the str/agi/dex. Examples are ac hp rings over jagged bands, azure sleeves, hero/ivy bracers over granite, just max ac whenever possible until 40s and then switch to str/dex/hp/resists. With the xp penalty I had time to farm specific gear while slowly leveling heh.

It should be noted that Rangers are the absolutely the most OP class ever in the entire history of EQ right now on live. No, I'm not joking.
