Neither are in I7 (fyi)...BUT Geko and I have talked a little about Shields. We're thinking that Shields would be a Primary AND a Secondary Power Set for Tankers - and a Primary Set for Scrappers...but this thinking might change. I'd imagine the set is mostly about Defense, but again, nothing has been designed yet.

Secondary for Scrappers PLEASE Statesman. Think of how cool a BS Scrapper will look with the whole Paladin thing going on!
Also, if you're still looking, wouldn't shields require a lot of animator time to work with things like Mace/Axe, even punching now that you mention it. Or will the defensive set be more in the way of metaphorical?
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
Drat... 
Still you didn't rule out that we might see a new power set or two... Here is hoping.

Hmmm, how would a Shield/Shield tanker work anyways?
In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.
How would Shield/Shield work? Simple, the tanker blocks with it, then hits you with it. Repeat.
I'm waiting for the Shield Sledding travel power, myself.

That would assume that snow and ice would be around longer than a few weeks every year.
I swear Paragon City is perfect setting for a new weatherperson fresh out of weatherperson school...

Are you sure you don't mean secondary for scrappers? (Since the set is about defense.)

Well remember Capt. America.
He used his shield to attack and defend. He could throw it like a bomarang, Deflect attacks back at people
Neither are in I7?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Wait, what IS in I7?
The correct answer, is Pie.

You've got the weather report all wrong.
"Good morning, folks. Today, we're starting out with bright sun, clear skies and a balmy temperature."
(A group of Outcasts begins fighting the Tsoo out the window behind the weatherman.)
"Looking forward, we can... wait, what was that? There was a lightning bolt outside the office! I'm hearing gale-force winds and rain! Looks like we have a tropical storm... in the middle of Steel Canyon? What is going on?"
*RUMBLE*
"And now there's an earthquake! Oh my God, the skyscrapers will... well, actually they look fine. Folks, this is the strangest localized earthquake I've ever experienced. We all have to take cover!"
(Five minutes later)
"Well, I'm glad to see we're all ok. Anyway, looking ahead, for this afternoon, we should expect to see... what? Wait, it's evening? How'd it get to be evening! This is the morning broadcast! I'm only on for 10 minutes, why is it evening? My God, the Sun has fallen from the sky! Flee for your lives, people, the Earth is going to... who are those people with the cowls and the daggers coming out of the shadows? What IS that green glow?"
(The weatherman proceeds to get the tar beat out of him for 15 minutes by the Circle of Thorns. As dawn comes around again, the Madness Mage fixes him with a stare and a Psychic beam. The weatherman looks dazed and the Circle of Thorns recedes.)
"Good morning, folks. Today, we're starting out with bright sun, clear skies, and a balmy temperature."

if they end up doing shield secondary for scrappers....
*bets $20 on them not being able to have a sword and a shield out at the same time*
Since I am a weather man... I did find great humor in this. nice write up. it gave me a good chuckle this morning.

Sooo, now that we know which powersets arent in I7, how about telling us which ones are? Other than CoV APPs that is, we know those will be there.

I'm pretty sure what he means is that there will be two Shield sets, one "Shield Attacks" and one "Shield Defense." It sounds like they're thinking of giving both sets to Tankers, but only the attack set to Scrappers.

So what, if any, new power sets ARE going into I7?

Something else that might come down the pike with Shields...
Customizable powers/weapons.
I mean, it's entirely a guess, but if and when States rolls this out, does he boat anchor everyone with a lil' round shield? Some medieval surfboard? Or does he open this up for the folks, thusly showing they can open up some weapon selection options for the rest of the sets, as well as some customizable powers for the non-weapon types like color changes.
Sounds mighty sexy if you ask me.

I think it should be at least secondary for scrappers so that the broadswoard/shield could go together. Also would promote a lot of the old school armors in costumes. I figured it would be a DEF set.
Pistols? Did you say something about Pistols? And Electric Melee? Hmm?
