What's the best class for an Orc in 2020?

I am thinking about playing an Orc? For my next character. I have never played an Orc before, so I would like some recommendations for a class to play and why? Thanks

Why a Dragon Knight? Couldn't I be another Class and be a Tank? Like a UW in the Necromancer Class?“I’m The Best There Is At What I Do. But What I Do Isn't Very Nice…” - Wolverine/Logan/James Howlett0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Odd question to ask since 2019 ends tomorrow.
But to answer your question, Orsimer is a dream choice for any Stamina DD. You get extra Stam, extra Health, even passive healing while you deal damage, freaking 258 extra weapon damage (not fair..) and you sprint faster than everyone else without buffs. StamSorc, StamBlade, StamPlar, StamDen, StamCro, whatever.Edited by ArchMikem on December 31, 2019 5:07AMCP1,900+ Master Explorer - AvA One Star General - Console Peasant - The Clan

I think orc works well with stam sorc as the speed bonus and health gain synergize well with crit surge and hurricane

SocialAssassin✭✭✭So Should I go Medium or Heavy Armor? They have a passive ability with Heavy Armor. Or is that just crafting?“I’m The Best There Is At What I Do. But What I Do Isn't Very Nice…” - Wolverine/Logan/James Howlett0

Yeah, orcs do very well with all the stamina classes, you can go tanky with heavy armor, or DPSy with medium armor, both works nicely.
Flavor wise... well, Dragonknights work well for orcs, tho the fluff is not that great for them as the draconic influence is stronger among imperials or nords; Sorcerors as "thunder priest" make for a nifty flavor for any kind of orc and the daedric side works well for any "Malacath" backstory; Templars go well as "holy warrior" in the name of Trinimac (or orc exiles that follow the divines) and Wardens of course would be prefect for any "wood orc" setup... sneaky nightblades are not exactly the best for orc "mace in your face" style in any way... and even orcs don't like necromancers very much, but inevitably a great many of them don't give two tugs of a dead donkeys d... uhm... tail... about that.2 -

✭✭✭✭Orcs are optimized for stamina melee play, and DKs are melee-oriented as well. I presume that's the perceived fit?0 -

YstradClud✭✭✭✭I rerolled for the first time since I started playing this game at beta and made a Orc stamina DK. They seem pretty good so far but I can't help thinking I should be a tank instead of a dps playing a DK.0 -
