Unlike most MMOs, you won't be able to keep aggro on every mob, or so I've read from others and experienced so far as a healer. So find the strongest thing, keep its attention (and a few nearby if possible), and focus on block/dodge/bash to keep yourself alive. There are situations where missing even one block means you're gonna have a bad time.

As a tank, there is 1 skill (I forgot what it's called) under the 1H & Shield skill tree that draws aggro. It's great for holding bosses and big mobs in a group.

Got it. I'll make sure to upgrade my health and Magika. Stamina will be my lowest Stat. (Since Stamina will literally only be used once, for one skill.)
