Recommended attributes for a tank?

ChaosChange · March 2016

I'm kind of new to ESO, I started a new character (imperial) as a one hand and shield tank.

Is there any recommendations how I should spend my attributes? Currently I've only spent my points on health.

Stamina, to increase your resources for blocking and bashing.

Ok. Thanks

Are you magicka or stamina?
For leveling, just put all points in either stamina or magicka depending on what you are. If you're going stamina, I'd suggest you not use one handed and shield as the weapon you'll actually be using most of the time while leveling because it's rather lacking in damage in general and doesn't have any AOE.

It's hard to tell you how to spend your attributes without knowing what class you play.

Focus on damage until you get to the level where you'll start running group content (45 or so). Otherwise, leveling will take much longer. You can always respec back into a tank setup once you start doing group content.

Ok, I understand.

Then if you're going for a classic Stamina DK build, I think you should put your points into stamina. You should be able to have a decent health pool just with set bonuses, enchants, and jewels traits. If you're going for a Magicka based build of course, go for magicka stats. By doing this, your character will have more versatility. You'll be able to change for a more DPS based build just by changing your gear (some dungeons requires that from a tank, and it's also good for non-dungeon content)
