Templar Tank
"Radiant Shield"
Templar tank is a very strong, yet underestimated tank in ESO. When built, a Templar tank is able to create large health damage shields, self healing, and maintenance. Whereas they may not bring as much regarding group buffs, their survivability and balance between magicka and stamina skills makes them great at self maintaining while tanking.
Templars can be a bit tricky to balance as they tend to be a resource hog on the magicka side but attributes and enchants can help with that to make them viable and enjoyable
Beginner/Level Tank
for attributes I go for a balanced Health/Magicka build. The Templar can be very magic heavy on the skills so building this out still gives you above average health pools w/ food buff and a decent magicka pool. You can use a bit more stamina in this build, however it is much quicker to use heavy attacks with your front bar sword & Shield than swapping to your back bar to try to regain magicka. Note that even with 40 into health you can reach 50K health
I built my tank's attribute/gear setups to where majority of the player base can obtain the items. This is the reason I do not go full health. You can swap out the health enchantments on armor for the multi-effect enchants, but that requires going into PVP zones which not everyone is comfortable with. If you do use them, you can swap out health enchants for those and put more attributes into health.
