Warden PVP stamina tank

Chelister

So I am planning to play the new clas. Mainly PVP with a stamina tank build

I am looking for some advice on race; armor sets; attributes

First of all, what race should I pick. Wood elf seem to give the most max stamina, but Redguard seem to give damage mitigation which is nice for PVP. At the same time there is Orc, which also increases melee weapon attacks

Then its armor sets, not sure on this one

For attributes, I dont wanna go full health as I wanna have enough stamina resource pool to be able to kill enemies

And again, I plan to mainly PVP

Wood Elf does not give the most max stamina, they are 6%; many other races are 10%. Redguards do not have damage mitigation either.

I would go Redguard or Imperial. Redguards are stamina powerhouses, and bosmer recovery won't help when blocking (common for a stam tank). Imperials, however, have 12% max health AND 10% stamina and their melee attacks have a 10% chance to restore 6% of your Max Health.

There really isn't a wrong answer for race though aside from Altmer/Breton, especially from a PVP standpoint.

Thanks for the race explanation. But could you also touch upon the gear sets you would suggest? What do you think is the best in slot armor set for a PVP tank stamina Warden?

For an actual tank go with something like Hist bark and fasallas guile or plague doctor

Would the sets be viable for a PVP tank, not just a tank?
And also what Monster Set do you think is the best for a PVP tank?

If tank, go armor master/ravaging/durok's bane/bastion of heartland/black rose. Helmet choice is simple - trollking or MB. Haven't tested new sets from BGs yet, there might be nice stuff too. That one with a ton of crit resistance seems very nice. Also, don't forget Nord as viable tanking option. 6% racial passive damage reduction paired with 8% from ice fortress, 5% freom, for example bastion of heartland and also 20% bonus damage reduction from AOE skills... Damn, that is tanky af.

Well if you want to kill things I wouldn't call it a tank lol, Best monster set I'd say would be Blood Spawn

In some sense you are right, yes.
What I meant is playing a stamina warden with 1h & shield (as deffensive bar) and 2h or dual wield (as offensive bar).
Having enough health / crit resist / physical & magicka resist to be able to endure damage, but at the same time switch to 2h or dual wield & be able to kill stuff
