Tank build

Lorde1

For a tank that wants to keep Agro off of the other players and get as much health as posible, what caracter clas would work best with what race and armor (heave, medium, light)

as much health as possible, you could get 70k, however, you wouldn't have ANYTHING else, unless you are a min/maxer, race doesn't matter, any class can tank, but they do it different in some ways, and you will probably want all heavy

Heavy armor with one piece light (belt) and one piece medium (gloves), race as imperial/argonian/nord/Breton, weapons as sword and shield. Now, none of the above is necessary, but for entry level it'll help a LOT.

In my experience , Max Health doesn't matter at all . You don't need more than 25k actually . My build (Stamina DK) has 25.2k HP , 17.6k Magicka , 29.7k Stamina (tri-stat food) . I did tank everything except vMoL without any need of shards and tri-stat potions ( I use dropped stamina potions ) . You can think like this : when you block , you become nearly immortal . The issue is keeping block up as much as you can . Having high Max Health is like a emergency button that saves you from 1-shot attacks if you mess up your block but for only one attack . Build something that sustains its stamina really well = No need for Max HP . If you really want very high Max HP , you gonna have some bad time because having high HP pool requires lots of sacrifices from other stats .

to be a tank, you should have a minimum of 27k at v16, you should be near or at the 32k resistance caps

In a good group , you will have more than 27k HP because a good group always keeps Warhorn up . Simply I have 27-28k HP even though my base Health is 25k . I even thought of reducing my Max HP to 23-24k because of this ^^

i guess every single group i ran with, is a bad group

An Imperial Stam DK Tank is your best bet. High Health, High Stamina, Great class for tanking.

As for HIGHEST HEALTH POSSIBLE, its not needed. I'm a khajiit so i dont have good passives... But i run with about 27k Health and 30k Stamina.As long as you have enough health to not get 1 shot. anything over 30k is a waste of other resources like mitigation or stamina/magicka
