What race is your main tank?

I've been curious as to what race people enjoy tanking on. Would like to know what race everyone prefers and why before I make my first tank? 
I've been leaning towards Argonian since those racial passives are OP.

Froil✭✭✭✭✭KhajitThe best race for tanking is Argonians what with their max health, max magicka and potion passives.
But I just love kitties

I've been thinking of going this route to sometimes reroll to DPS easily. Would you say that all attributes into magicka hinder the performance of DK tank? -

✭ArgonianArgonian really good, especially next dlc is argonian themed, who knows what else ZOS are going to buff them, just like werewolf this patch currently got the buffs.
Plus you can stam tank, you can mag tank, doesn’t affect it.
Not like if you choose Breton and you have to mag tank.Edited by akl77 on September 21, 2018 2:53AMPS4 pro NA -

✭✭✭✭✭Wood ElfMines a tiny Bosmer warden because I find mini tanks amusing
Same! Lol
Bosmer Warden tank - current main, shortest on the height slider
Bosmer NB tank- previous main
I only pick Bosmer, but if I had a second choice I guess Imperial (I have an Imperial DK tank and an Imperial Templar tank).
. Health bonus is great for those rare skills that scale off health.
Speaking of which, they need more of those types of skills. Bring back Blazeplar/Paladins!#FiteForYourRite Bosmer = Stealth

seherrons✭✭✭ImperialOnly got the one tank so far and he's still only level 5, but I was thinking of making him either a Nord or an Imperial and opted straight for the latter Edited by seherrons on September 21, 2018 4:57AMborderlinesakura on PS4 EU | CP780+

WOW. She is BEAST!!! why such a small head, though?? -
IronWooshu✭✭✭✭✭ArgonianI've always been an Argonian since my first ES game which happened to be Oblivion and I love their lore, their struggle and everything about the Argonian race.
So I made an Argonian Warden for my first class, I use him as a tank or healer when I am running dungeons and DPS when I am leveling or playing PVP.
I am trying to do everything in my quest to get max CP on this character (not even close yet) and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Exploring and Knocking off achievements is fun. I started to solo some World Bosses at around 200 CP with my Argonian Warden. I can solo farm Public Dungeons easy and Dolmens is a breeze now.
Love this game.Edited by IronWooshu on September 21, 2018 5:21AM -
Mirelurk✭✭✭✭ImperialI've been thinking of going this route to sometimes reroll to DPS easily. Would you say that all attributes into magicka hinder the performance of DK tank?
Nope, I run a magicka DK Imperial tank with all attributes in magicka and he works great. Runs high magicka regen and can chain for days.
It's easy to swap mundus and gear if you want to switch to damage, but other races would better than an Imperial for that.
