Also, even if you would rather play a WAR or DRK, you need PLD at least level 34 for cross-class abilities. So start with PLD. After that, if you happen to like tanking, I highly recommend you to try WAR. It kills things.
Frey on point as always.

Marauder/Warrior also has the added advantage of being super tanky without cooldowns due to it's massive health pool, and a lot of its abilities regenerate health.

Gladiator/Paladin will feel a bit less tanky, but you're also taking less damage. If you just want to be a super tank, they are still pretty good from 40-60 and through Alexander Normal and Rav Ex.
