Nightblade Tank
Heavy Mender
The Nightblade tank is not the most popular or requested tank in ESO. They are a lot of fun and have some good self healing and abilities to keep themselves alive, they can stack health very high and keep their incoming damage at a minimum. The downfall is they don't bring much to the group and their resource usage can be quite high. Overall they are an enjoyable class, but not the most preferred over other tanks

Champion Points
I run 32 in magicka as Nightblades can be very mag heavy on use. With this setup you can still run over 45K health which is more than enough.
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.
Alternative sets to have on hand as raid leaders may require these sets based on their needs and requests
