You certainly can solo a ranger in there. It's not "easy" so I'm not sure the ZEM is paying off unless you're really tricky with harmony and sticking to some of the easier spots like the sewer.
Nothing in HK heals or harmtouches. Yea I'm a basic when it comes to moving the yellow bar [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

Ranger tanking is only noticeably inferior to warrior tanking at the highest levels of kunark/velious content. And maybe PoSky.
I’ve tanked Faydedar on a ranger no problem. He’s not a top notch dragon, but there’s really only a handful of mobs outside of ToV that need a sturdier tank. Get that hammer, and get a Tolan BP. Having self portability options is fantastic

i never had an issue ranger tanking, of course with gear, from 1-60. it really wasnt hard or bad.
with gear ive tanked all of VP/hot, etc. can others do better? sure but its not like rangers cant, they can get pretty decent HP and VP dies in a disc timer. | ||

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. | ||

As for that last post, doesn’t really matter in CT. I know some rangers with a woodsman and fungi who leveled there with ease. They probably know the zone really well and were selective.
In general, HP recovery of a ranger or even SK even with a fungi is low. That’s the issue here. Compared to a monk or especially a pally 45+ and you can face tank for days. | ||

I haven’t had time to play this week. I did go to CT but I admittedly don’t know the zone well. It might be one of the only zones in the game I could get lost in (and quite easily). The heals through the walls were just awful but when I could isolate mobs away from heals it wasn’t that bad. I did get a few levels there.
Maybe it would have been easier sober? [You must be logged in to view images.

All in all I rate the zone as overly complicated and buggy as hell … but I did it (well some of it).
