@Giraffon Any dungeon with a 1 usually. I think the easiest of easiest is Vaults of Madness to be honest. 1st mini boss is that ghost thingy. Just tank and spank, 1 person will go down because when he has that beam on someone all the dps done to boss gets reflected to that person haha. 1st boss tank and spank. 3rd boss is that charging big thingy. you cant keep him still but try not to let him charge into a pillar because he will bug out. 4th is tank and spank. 5th is tank and spank, the trick is to block heavy attack, step forward a step till he triggers this cone knock back, take a few steps back and avoid it, get back in and repeat. This way he doesnt move around or knock you off the edge. Next is tank and spank and last boss just grab the adds that spawn and tank and spankkkk. EZ.

This was going to be my suggestion.

Any of them labeled with a 1. Vaults of Madness like Sunah mentioned is a great dungeon and not terribly difficult.
Also look to Fungal Grotto 1, Banished Cells 1, Spindleclutch 1, Wayrest Sewers 1.

Start with the closest one to Stormhold. Be sure to burn the scroll. Really soft on the tank.

Anything with I or without number in its name is generally really easy (except dlc dungeons obviously - White-Gold Tower, Imperial City Prison, Ruins of Mazzatun and Cradle of Shadows). Beware though, they buffed last bosses of most I dungeons to include a stupid one shot mechanic more often than not. But you as tank should be fine. It's other people that won't be (these things are generally untaubtable).

Tanking most of the content is really easy, some tips to make it easier for you and your team -
1)don't forget to taunt. Yes, I know, not very original but you'd be surprised at how many people do There's no longer overtaunt when just one player is taunting, so try to renew it before it expires, I usually renew at 8-10 second mark(it supposedly ends at 15 as you probably know)

2)don't run around unless mechanics really require you to. You're supposed to be able to survive these guys face to face(which doesn't mean you should stand in all the red, obviously) and you aren't doing your teammates a service - a lot of dps comes from ground based effects and there's nothing more frustrating than when you nicely lay down 3 ground dots and destro ulti on top, just for your tank to run the boss right out of them the very next second

3)try to aid your team by cc-ing mobs. If you're a DK, you can(and should) root them with talons and pull ranged ones in with chains. If you're a sorc you can also root with encase, otherwise you're unfortunately at a disadvantage. If you aren't a DK I'd suggest looking into Swarm Mother set for pulling monsters in for you instead of chains.

4)try to aid your team by buffing them. Use Pierce armor taunt, get Warhorn from alliance war skill tree (note this only works well when your group's dps is actually high enough for that to matter. Lousy dps buffed by Warhorn is still lousy dps.)

5)some bosses are partially or fully immune to taunts. Some people are unaware of this and try to chew tank's head off for not protecting them against that dodgeable and untaubtable projectile. Ignore them. If possible, get a somewhat dps-y outfit to carry along for some of these fully taunt immune bosses(or at least slot some damage skills), might as well aid your team with dps there.

Vaults of Madness is very easy on Vet, feels like a normal dungeon to be honest. There are some mechanics, but nothing crazy. The I version dungeons are also pretty easy.

Just please remember to do two things

1) when it comes to bosses taunt them and spin them around away from the group
2) please PLEASE do NOT take the boss or adds away with the taunt when the ult are dropped

... so so many times 3 of us drop our ult on the boss just to have a tank walk the boss out of it and keeps on walking around while the AOE is left behind.

I tanked my first vet dungeon at CP140. While I don't recommend this, it's entirely possible. There's no reason a CP630 tank should get booted from vet dungeons, unless you're just making rookie tanking mistakes (not taunting, running all over the place, running out of resources, running a non-tank build, etc.).

The easiest vet dungeons, in my opinion, are Wayrest 1 and Banished Cells 1. Really any of the "1" dungeons should be fine; they're low on mechanics and won't put too much of a strain on your other teammates.

I would normally agree with this, but there are a couple of exceptions. Direfrost Keep in Hard Mode can be a real PITA. You need to have some good DPS to take down Droda quickly otherwise it will be a long, tedious fight. But normal Vet mode is not too bad. Also Tempest Island HM has some mechanics you need to be aware of. Right after the final boss does her AOE, you need to run to her within melee range to make sure she doesn't charge you with that stupid one-shot mechanic. Spindlecluth 1 HM you need to keep an eye on the Spider Daedra final boss so that her blast doesn't one-shot you as well, making sure to dodge roll or at least block the spell.

I'd say all non dlc dungeons will work. But start with vom, coa 1, fungal 1, wayrest 1 and 2, and black heart haven if you feel unsure.

I suspect that the intended difficulty levels for dungeons is something similar to the following:

Starter dungeons, first 3 zones in each alliances 'part 1' dungeons, +the coldharbor dungeon

• Wayrest Sewers I
• Spindleclutch I
• Fungal Grotto I
• Darkshade Caverns I
• Banished Cells I
• Elden Hollow I
• City of Ash I
• Crypt of Hearts I
• Arx Corinium
• Vaults of Madness

Intermediate Dungeons, last 2 zones of each alliance

• Direfrost Keep
• Blessed Crucible
• Blackheart Haven
• Volenfell
• Tempest Island
• Selene's Web

"Hardest" Non-DLC dungeons, 'part 2' dungeons in first 3 zones of each alliance

• Wayrest Sewers II
• Spindleclutch II
• Fungal Grotto II
• Darkshade Caverns II
• Banished Cells II
• Elden Hollow II
• City of Ash II
• Crypt of Hearts II

Actual Hardest dungeons, available through DLC

• Imperial City Prison (requires Imperial City DLC)
• White-Gold Tower (requires Imperial City DLC)
• Cradle of Shadows (requires Shadows of the Hist DLC)
• Ruins of Mazzatun (requires Shadows of the Hist DLC)
• Falkreath Hold (requires Horns of the Reach DLC)
• Bloodroot Forge (requires Horns of the Reach DLC)

Finally Veteran Dragonstar Arena, while not technically a Vet dungeon is also 4 player content which is harder than all of the above for a player without experience.
