Best race for DK tank Aldmeri Dominion

Razmion · February 2015

Hey! I like to play on Aldmeri dominion, and i want to make a dragonknight tank. But none of the "classic" tank races are there, so which one should i choose? Is Khajiit the only viable option, or?

Thanks for help!

I'd take a Bosmer for resistances and stamina boost (regeneration gets better in 1.6). Actually, I do have a Bosmer DK tank and it works just fine. But I don't know, none of the AD races are particularly suited for tanking from the min-maxing perspective. Can you go Imperial or look around the interwebs for Explorer's Pack codes?

Okay thanks! So bosmer is the best alternative if i don't want to pay for an imperial then. I actually haven't thought of that possibility, is it worth the money? I don't know much about imperials, except that they have plusses when it comes to health regeneration or something? That would mean they're kind of similar to orcs? (Which I know are very good for tanking).

Imperial > All for tanks, especially DK tanks.

Altmer for DK, basically Dunmer without the stamina boost, instead you get magicka regen, meaning you can throw more stats into stamina and have a balanced build rather than a tank that stands there and blocks and does nothing. Imperial as yoda pointed out, but if you don't have it, Altmer for sure

Okay thanks for good advice! I went off and bought the imperial pack, so now I'm running around in auridon as soon to be (hopefully) great tank :-)

Good races for tanks:
- Imperial (max stats)
- Nord (damage mitigation)
- Argonian (healing received)
- Orc (smell)
- Bosmer (stamina recovery)

Attention with the nord! The damagfe mitigation caps with the mitigation from armour and resistance. So full tanks have just <1% from this 6%. The 6% are just fine if you are far under the cap.
