Swarm Mother monster set pulls mobs pretty nicely and manifestation of terror holds them in place.

Oh yeah. The Talons are just like, amazing.
Still gearing-up and learning, which means I suck, but Warden.
Sorc, sure its not BiS, but I main sorc and I like it.
And I can work it too. Got leash to pull mobs into the stack, got encase to root them, and got aegis for the highest blocking mitigation. Pttf~ and people think sorcs can't tank.
I front bar sword and board, and back bar a frost staff. Using pierce armor is easier for both fracture and breach. I got this thing going where my highest resource is dependent on which bar I'm on, so I can restore whichever is needed when popping orbs or spears.CMDR_Un1k0rn wrote: »Sorc, sure its not BiS, but I main sorc and I like it.

Oh mate. There's a dude in my main guild who runs one. And it's magicka-based. What weapon are you rocking to do your taunting?

Played DPS for an eternity...one day switched my kajiit Stam nightblade into a tank, and have never looked back. So unkillable in so many ways. Love it
Nightblades, seeing very few still - but at least I've seen a few the past couple of months or so. Previously people were like "What? A NIGHTBLADE tank? Dude you serious?". It's like many didn't even think it possible. Having only positive feedback on mine, especially that it's like completely self sufficient in most scenarios. Healers are used to healing and throwing shards etc., and I'm like "Stop, heal and give shards to DD's, I don't need them".

This poll is about what you find fun. If that happens to be the meta then of course, that's great and valid. But if you enjoy a different tanking setup more, than please vote that, even if it's not considered optimal.
To begin, I have voted Dragonknight as for one, I do love dragons. I am also very fond of Nords who do have a lot of history with the Ancient Dovah, and indeed, given the recent Akaviri invasion, well, Akaviri martial training becoming popular in Eastern Tamriel? Makes sense to me! Not to mention that Dragonknight also make fine warriors on the frontlines of Cyrodiil as well as fierce opponents in the Battlegrounds of Tamriel.
