    Between Orc or Nord? Orc, hands down...

    Argonian is the best, imperial is also good and I personally am a Nord which works well

    With those choices, I'm assuming a Stam DK.

    Imperial: extra health and stam, red diamond is only sort of useful
    Nord: extra health, stam and healthy recovery, damage reduction but I'm not really sure how well that stacks with other sources of damage mitigation
    Orc: extra health and stam, extra healing received, increased damage
    Argonian: extra health and magicka, potions restore all stats, increased healing done/received, poison/disease resistance

    So all of them are good for tanking, it just depends on how you want to play. If you go Argonian, you've get a big benefit from popping potions to help your sustain. I usually play Imperial tanks but that's more for roleplay reasons.

    Raksha - Khajiit Sorcerer - Stamina DPS

    Imperial #1 don't listen to the haters. Argonian is for baby tanks who need their hand held

    That's what I have ( will have ) lvl 20, waiting for update 17 before I level it to 50 for some of those rewards

    Honestly, any of those races are perfectly fine for end game tanking.
