just thinking about starting a tank, but i have a couple questions first.

1. From what i understand Str give more dmg and you can wear heavier armor, but the thing that i like about a tank is there crit's, (i play a rogue and love my BS) So should i have a highter Str for more dmg? or try for more crits and raise my dex and agi, which might have an effect on the dmg i do overall.

2. Which race ogre's are great for there high Str and Stamina but there dex and Agi suck, and to even it out a little will take all the free points they have. A good thing is that they can't be stunned from the front:)
The trolls are good for there str and stam but again there dex/agi is a little low, but they have good regen:)
The barbs good overall stats and i like the new graphics for them but for some reason they just dont appeal to me, not sure why though. The good thing about all the large tanks is there slam:)
The Dwarf :) i like the thought of a rageing little guy with 2 axes in his hands:) But another question is i kinda want to use the weight axe (dmg 45 dely 150 bonus 45 dmg) the large classes can use it dwarfs cant:( and no i will not use it as a prime weapon it will be a one hit wonder.

3. another main thing for me is racial armor i will be taking this char to 250 in smithing but which race's can do racial armor?

4. as a tank the killing is fast and hard for there technique. Is that all to a tank? Ive pulled some as a rogue and know there is a skill to pulling but is that it for the class?

5. If you could post the reasons you picked a tank over other classes i would love to hear them. Thanks all:)
