Orc Dragonknight tank

So, long story short, I rolled with my friend to Ebonheart. I decided to be a tank this go around, and I really didn't want to be a Nord like so many others. I was wondering how viable an Orc is? I'm not a huge min/maxer (or whatever) but I do plan on eventually doing PvE endgame. Just wanting to know if I will have any troubles as an Orc

    Orcs seem to be a solid choice for a tank. I have an Orc DK but is stamina DPS (VR 4), and I have thought about changing it up and tanking him out. They have the extra health and stamina which makes it nice.

    I am lv36 Orc dk tank, never had a problem, it's all about skill point placement, damage/health buffs for bosses on one bar, aoe for crowd control on the other. Plus full heavy armour

    I got a VR 14 Orc Dragonknight Tank, and while it may not be the perfect race it still gets the job done pretty well. The additional Stamina and Health is quite useful.
    Succesfully tanked most of the endgame content and also did duo runs for some veteran dungeons with the character. Orcs rock :smile:

    Love my Orc DK magicka Tank. Race doesn't really matter, unless you're a min/maxer. It's all about play style and what you want.
