Tank advice

Have come back to the game very briefly after time away since the Morrowind changes, which i hated. I miss my Nightblade tank, but seems Nightblades in general are still suffering, and Nightblade tanks look like they are pretty much extinct due to changes... so am considering a Warden tank, or maybe just bite the bullet and resurrect my DK (though its my least favorite class)

Thought I'd ask some advice from the Tank community on things like class, race, stam/magicka...

Everything I look at seems to suggest Argonians make the best race for Tanks... Is that the consesus now?

Heard a few people mention they hate running with Warden tanks, though could not gage why. Are Warden tanks deemed good/bad? why?

Looks like for trials the DK still rules... are there any other tanks that come close for trials?

any advice is much appreciated as am a bit lost after nearly a year away.

Thanks :)

    Templar tanks are just fine. With repentance they can even permablock despite the nerfs. The only conplaint you will have to get used to is that you are lacking a pull. Swarm mother easily fixes that or you just move smarter to get the same results.
    I never had a warden tank, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Same for NB tank I assume. As long as the play playing it is a good tank, your class doesn't really matter, even for hard content. (Just maybe not for the highscore board)

    Hmm, you need Chains in most places, you need your Puncture for Taunt, you need to buff the group and Igneous Shields and Weapons is made for that. Sorry you don't like the Class, but a DK is really the best tank. All other classes can tank, just not as well.

    See this for various builds and approaches to tanking:

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
