Hey guys,

I want to know your opinion about, which race is the best for making a pure Tank Dragonknight.

Thanks

I would image going by lore it'd be Orc, but since the racial abilities are under NDA that kinda remains to be seen.

Orc or Nord I would have thought.

I don't know witch race is the best, but i am playing a DragonKnight Tank for my first character, and i will be a Redguard.

This^

Probably Orc though for pure tankness.

Lore-wise yes, but mechanically, all races can tank equally.

Nords FTW

Well apart from racials?

...fixed it for you

As with any game there is no equal, within acceptable tolerances is the goal.

How does Orc fit Dragonknight lorewise? Or mechanically? I haven't looked at the racial passives listed on foundry, but are the Orsimer good at heavy armor or something?

Honestly, I am not sure there will be much if any difference. Sure there are racials, but I have a hard time seeing them as *that* game altering. Otherwise, the entire game would break. Oh your faction cant have orcs? Only pansy elves and kitties? No pvp wins for you!

If the concern is *just* from a min/max perspective, there might be a little difference, but it'd be situational. Just going from past elder scroll games, nords get cold resist passive, while dark elves get fire (Yes I am simplifying). Which is better? Well it depends on if your fighting a foe using fire or ice.. However if the person is using neither, its a wash.
