Viability of a Dunmer Dragonknight tank

Hello there, I've been levelling up a dunmer dragonknight with the end goal of getting me a magDK to add to my champion characters, but as I level it I've kinda realised that I don't really enjoy it that much....maybe it's the whip, I don't know. What I DO like though, is tanking, and I have many fond memories from my health templar tank, so I wondered about whether I could make a tank out of it? I'm not really a hardcore min-maxer, but I do like to do vet dungeons and normal trials, and don't want to let my levelling go to waste so would a dunmer tank set me back too much?
(I mean I could race change but honestly there are better things for me to spend my crowns on.....plus it's soo expensive..)

✭✭✭100% yes. You can easily make a viable Dunmer DK tank. And, if you're not running vet trials- you'll have a lot of room to experiment with the build.
If you want to go for vet Trials- look up @paulsimonps build here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/371430/the-pact-dragon-pve-trial-tank-by-luna-hlaalu#latest
If you want to go for normal trials and vet dungeons- you can easily wear different armor types. Hell, I tank dungeons on my Dunmer mDK with a 5l/1h/1m build. It's got a lot of DPS and high self heals- but you need to know enemy placement and when to block. I also suggest a 5h/1m/1l Kagrenac & Silks build for tanking/soloing world bosses.Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

✭✭✭✭✭While there are a couple races that would do better, namely Argonian and Imperial, the Dunmer would do fine.0 -

This is my written guide/build for tanking . This is mainly for end-game though . It works for veteran dungeons too obviously .
Idea is , when you use Blockade of Storms and switch to your front bar , your Blockade procs Crusher enchant . This is without a doubt the best way to proc Crusher enchant which is 2740 armor reduction on my build . Problem here is , if you are new to tanking , I recommend you to use double 1h/s . Using a Lightning Staff will get you killed if not careful . This is kind of a high risk/high reward gameplay .
Tag me ( @Liofa ) if you have more questions to ask so I can get a notification for it

No for Tank, OP said he WAS a magDK but didn't really like it so swapping to Tank. And Imperial and Argonian are the 2 best Tank races.0
