DK Tank

I plan to create a DK tank in DC

Dk has very few stamina morphs.

Does this mean that for a DK tank we should equip a 1HS/Heavy Armor and dump all points in Magicka ?

It's not this cut and dry. You need to manage multiple resources as a DK tank. Not just magicka.

My DK tanks work perfectly fine with no points in magicka.
They are both sword and board wearing 5 heavy, 1 med and 1 light.

If anything it's quite the opposite. Tanks need stamina to block (and as a tank you should block a lot) so I'd say dump most of your points in stamina then like 10 or so points into health and magicka.

As for the stamina morphs, all your stamina abilities will be from non-DK lines whereas all your magicka abilities will be from the DK lines. You should implement talons, chains, igneous shield, volatile armor, and maybe green dragons blood into your rotation. As for your stamina abilities, use pierce armor, vigor, and any other skill that either buffs you or your group (like evasion, heroic slash, absorb magic, etc).

Look up Woeler on google. Guy has a great site that has a couple of Tank builds and they're pretty much the current meta. Probably will change soon with Morrowind, but it's a good starting point.

Keep in mind OP there's a lot changing in Morrowind but I do have a build in mind for those who may wanna off tank; not sure if anyone has thought of it but..
It goes as such
Two piece Blood spawn.
5 piece Tavas favor
5 piece War machine or Master Architect.

I tested this on PTS and it seemed pretty damn good but the only thing is positioning within a trial... you know so the healer won't get the buff lol. I would make a video but I'd rather wait for the live version so I can get a more accurate feel to how it will play.

CP allocation wise If I recall correctly I have 15% in magicka recovery, around 10% into heavy attack and the rest into block resist (Green CP tree lol forgot the name). Warrior tree I had around 15% in hardy/elemental defender a good chunk in bastion and the rest in heavy. Mages tree I had a good chunk into blessed I Think 15% in precise strikes and the rest I forgot lol...

Yeah so when live comes if no one makes a build for with this setup well I'll see what I can do

I am trying to move away from Tava's for my tank, with the coming change to the champion system and no longer having cost reduction, combined with the health tank proposed meta i want to save as much of my smaller stamina pool as possible to block those incoming hits. Bloodspawn 2 piece, Ebon 5 piece body and Dragonguard/Alkosh jewellery and weapons so i have group utility and less buffs to worry about maintaining so my resources last longer.
