Your main role/attribute

The two characters I play most often are a hybrid stamina/magicka DPS templar and a magicka based hybrid healer/DPS warden.

I assume neither would be acceptable for hardcore speed running groups, but since I only do group content with my guilds and occasionally pug a normal mode dungeon it doesn't matter. These are builds I find fun and which work well enough in all the content I'm doing.

Stamina Bow/Healer. In less serious content I duel wield too. More serious content, bow/bow to keep my distance.

Psijic and Warden heals make it a breeze. Thinking about going werewolf too...

Magicka DPS

I play all roles, tank, healer, Stam DPS, Mag DPS.

But I play my Mag DPS more often because I am tired of doing dungeons and being paired up with two DPS pulling 5k damage each when I am tanking or healing.

Nord Warden. I basically went with whatever felt right as levelled so I play two roles

- Solo with 2 handed and bow bars for questing, soloing dungeons and the like. Right now my DPS on this measures fairly poorly although real world I seem to be better than dummies because the DPS are running and dodging everywhere whilst I'm able to stand in the thick of it and do the mad bersekrer nord surrounded by the corpses of the enemy act.

- Tanking normal dungeons with sword/board, heavy armour, taunts, bear and some magic for self heal and to help the dps get higher damage. Not sure I'd be able to tank vet dungeons but I don't want to anyway 8)

Need to try medium armour and some more damage focussed setups yet.

Haven't seen a recent poll on this so decided to make one and see what's popular in 2020. What role and attribute is everyone using?

Healers are almost exclusively magicka-based, tanks use both attributes but typically rely on stamina. Legit hybrid are the most fun but sub-optimal.

Whaa? My tank is 40k health, 30k stam, and 23k Magicka(buffed)...it is true I have more stamina than magicka, but stam is mostly for blocking, roll dodging, and sprinting(and taunting of course) most of my utility skills are magicka...chains, igneous shield, orbs, combat prayer and healing ward(resto backbar). I also spec more into magicka regen than stamina regen. Been thinking of dropping my health a bit to give me more magicka to work with lately...my ideal numbers would be 35/30/30 but I am not sure if that is going to be possible.

Currently in the process of levelling all my weapon skills to to 50. SnB and 2H are already there.

I put everything in Magicka but when I wanna change roles I just flip my Mundus and/or gear. I can heal, tank, and DPS on veteran content with the same character, and this also means when I DPS I'm a magicka DPS.

I don't stick with a main role since the needs of the group change and DPS are dime a dozen. For example we might need a healer or tank because there is no one available to do that role.

My main tank has been a DPS for a few months to clear out a backlog of quests from last year and this. After I finish the DLC/chapter quests and any achievements I want to grind out (and maybe some antiquities), I'll revert back to tank to clear my backlog of DLC dungeons. I might wait for next DLC first. Not sure.

Switching to a DPS has been so much more fun. The only benefit of tanks is the dungeon queue. There is no shortage of tanks for trials due to needing only 2 for vet and often just 1 for normal. Tanks suck for questing. Tanks suck for collecting surveys, chests, or anything else that causes you to run into mobs. If I didn't enjoy tanking so much, I would permanent switch my main to DPS.

Your resources are already quite high which means that most other stats will be quite low. If you only use stamina for blocking, I would swap values of magicka and stamina, i.e. aim for 30k magicka and 23k stamina. Still, your resources sound too high for a tank, I'd invest more in defences and offences.
