Best Tank Race Now?

ZeusChaos25

Since the Argonian received the part where they don't have poison resistance anymore, what would be the best race now for a tank? Or would the better option be putting champion points into poison resistance and staying an Argonian?

Argonian is still acceptable as a tank.

The only race that gets anything that make them better at tanking is Nord. The ulti gen passive will give them slightly faster ulti's. It's not huge, but technically, it's there. Nords resistance bonuses might also offer some more gear options for a tank.

Past that it's not a huge deal. Other races get things that make the job of tanking easier: Argonians, Imperials, Dunmer even. But past that any race can equally get the job done. It's not as bad as differences created for DPSing.

I swapped to imperial, and honestly, I’m about to go back to argonian. I just like them. Nord is only “necessary” for pushing high scores, imperial sustain is underwhelming, and the pot chugger passive is still useful.

Tanking is in a great spot in terms of how badly a race is “needed” to be effective. You can do it with any race and still be pretty well off.

Shouldn't have to put CP into something you should already have naturally. Epic preservation of lore right there.

Nord all the way. I race changed from imperial when I saw the difference in cp needed to reach resist caps with no reinforced. Goes from needing more than max points in armor mastery to hit physical cap to needing ~38. The ult gen is just a bonus.

What about resources? I am used to argonian bc I like being able to zap my pools if I need to.

Argonian.
I was at hm AA with low dps group. I am Argonian DK and had Stonekeeper set. No shards or orbs, just selfsustain. There were 5 axes adds and wanted to spawn few more and my resources at least a bit over.

Hope noone from devs wont see it. I dont want one more nerf xD

Agree, Nord is good for leaderboard runs there they high build in protection and ulimate regen helps. For progression or dungeons its a bit pointless.
Imperials, Argonians and redguards is nice and beat Nords for easy tank, heck, even Khajiit, Bosmer and Altmer has better sustain.

Nords finally received the place they always deserved!

Stone keeper is a big more than the sustain bonus of old argonian. Alternatively tri pots on their own still restore a good chunk of resources and as always, using an ult on a dk pretty much maxes out all of your resources
Argonian passive with no CD reduction is 89 stat per second
Stone keeper is 267.5 resources per second at max uptime

Just for fun at the maximum possible efficiency (3 gold infused with potion cd glyphs) the argonian passive can return 190 resource per second which is still dwarfed by stone keeper.

Nords and Imperials, i think in that order. Nords for ult generation and Imperials for sustain.

"When you take damage, you gain 5 Ultimate. This effect can occur once every 10s"
cmon... 0.5 ulti per second? pffff

Argonian.
"Whenever you drink a potion you restore 3600 Health, Magicka, and Stamina"
This is MUCH profit for tank's sustain xD
IMHO
