I will make an Orc because I like his look more like the Warden class than the Dark Elf and I don't like Magicka build, and that it is better to spend all points in Health? Because looking through the build Tank from Alcast on most points I give in Stamina and Magicka ...

Hopes that I will finally like the build ...

Because my character always bored me before reaching level 50 ...

Speaking of my own experience.

I have an altmer NB, and a Breton Templar. The NB must sacrifice it's sneak to be truly strong, but it can be truly good as tank. He can't have that many shield as the Templar so weaker against the heavy hitters, but his abilities gives more stamina, and that allows you to dodge heavy aoes easier.

Templar has 3 different %health based damage shield (2 of them are not class dependent). With champion points combined you can have more shield, than health you have. Though i saw, that some DLC bosses at least can ignore your damage shields. But the base game enemies have hard time destroying it.

For going against many weak mobs Templar also wins, because it has a stronger AOE, than NB with self healing while using it. It also can generate a lot of threat by doing damage, and outhealing them at the same time, if the DD waits like 2 seconds after pull, then they usually can't even pull the aggro.

For racials. Templar, and NB both uses everything. Health is top important of course, but you can use stamina for damage shields, magicka for aoe, and some buffs. Both can be used for taunts. NB can heal himself rapidly from magicka, and Templar can put a % health damage shield from it. You don't even need to dodge stuff in veteran non-DLC dungeons as Templar. Your damage shield can absorb them all.

I don't think, that racials matter unless you are a total maximalist. But practically you use all base stat so getting any of them is good enough. Weapon specific racials might be pointless.

You can not take PvE builds into PvP.

Research a separate build for PvP.

Check out www.woeler.eu He is the premier Tank master in my opinion in ESO.

Woeler doesn't know what tanks are. He is the reason we have the tank/dps meta now, real brillance.

Apparently it worked very well for a lot of people. Maybe you should make a build website instead then, if you are such a brilliant tank. Would certainly be more useful than whining on the forums about people you don't know and playstyles you don't understand.

Also, it's not like this would not have come out on top if I was somehow not involved. Somebody else would have come along and demonstrated that these particular build frameworks are usually the most effective. Effective builds are effective regardless of who discovers them.

However, I guess it is easier to blame me (or any individual for that matter) instead of actually trying to optimize when groups/raids ask for that.
