DK vs Templar tank

[[G.W.] Sunbro Greg]

Heya, people!

So I decided to return to TESO and continue with my tanking addiction!
Back in the day I was a somewhat recognized Templar tank, we did vdsa a lot and I remember tanking being challenging and fun!

I realize that the situation has changed a lot recently, and thus I must ask for your opinions.

Which tank is considered to be the toughest, most mobile and flexible to every encounter in PVE and PVP?

I hear people saying that a DK is superior to Templar in terms of tanking, but they never explain exactly why.

Since I'm thinking about starting anew, this matter bothers me greatly. Your opinions are greatly appreciated.

PvP? PvE?

I play Templar. Healer now, but I've done tanking. From all the dungeons I heal everyday, and I too, can't explain why - DK's run dungeons quicker. I guess it's just a little more DPS going (even though I know, it's not their focus). PvE speaking anyway, that's what I see all the time. I will say though, it's neat doing Templar tanking, it's cool to be able to heal yourself whenever your healer goes down or is an idiot :P I think Templars feel more 'invincible' imho.

Hey, thanks for the answer.
I edited my message, adding PVE and PVP.
I played them both (temp 50 and dk 17), and I must admit that dk feels easier to play, which leaves more room for positioning and tactical thinking, however templar buffs and support help the whole group.
There are many more such features, so you can see why this choice is being so difficult to me =)

That's true...and good point about the Templar's buffs and all. Does help a lot. Although, DK's can probably gather and hold enemies more efficiently. lol! Other players will chime in I'm sure. Goodluck!

Aye, more opinions would be nice.

Damn, son! Everyone went silent all of sudden!
Am I in the wrong section to ask these questions?

Templar tank is going to receive a huge nerf in the upcoming patch, look it up mate.
