IIRC, you just need to be anything that doesn't 'occupy' both hands with a seperate costume bit (ie: No Dual Blades, or Katana). They did mention specifically tweaking a few sets (including Stone Melee) to work with Shields. Not sure if they carried through on that, though.. >>
I'd like to know, personally.

Yes. The only sets that cannot be used with Shields are those with a 'weapon' in or on the left hand. For practical purposes this would be Dual Blades, Katana, Claws, & Spines.
Sets like Super Strength, Martial Arts, Energy Melee, Dark melee, etc have alternative animations that range from being as simple as adjusting the left arm to completely re-animating the power. Stone Melee's Stone Mallet powers use some of the one handed animations of Battle Axe and War Mace.

What about Shadow Maul? That uses both hands.

My guess is that Shadow Maul was given a new or revamped animation for people that pick Shield Defense.

When you pick shields, Dark Melee replaces Shadow Maul with the one-handed Shadow Slap

Wait... does that mean that tankers who are /stone but not shield/ will have their animations adjusted as well? Or are they ONLY changed when using the shield powerset?
I don't see how MA will change much, the only power I could see potentially changing would be Cobra Strike, even that I think is a right handed strike.

Only those with Shield Defense will have modified animations.

Sort of the same way that Brawl changes to a kick when you have a bow or a hilt smack when you have a katana out.
I'm really curious to see what Shadow maul looks like with a shield... Not just a description of a guess, but to actually see it.
All that is planned fails. All that is born dies.
All that is built crumbles. This will always be true.
But memories remain, And that is beautiful.
Not being able to see what a Shield Defense Scrapper looks like without their weapon and shield drawn was bugging me. So I photochopped one together.

I'm not entirely sure why it would need to be changed at all. So I'm hitting him with the shield as well as my fist really fast. what's the problem.
This would also apply to Flurry.
How do you save screenshots from character creator screen?
The game won't dump a screenshot file from the character creator, so you'll have to print screen what you'd like to snapshot and use an external program such as Photoshop/Paint/Etc.

ooh nice photo edit, as well and all the cool designs.
I hope that the shield powerset lives up to the nice costume designs you can have with it.

Shadow maul doesn't have "a weapon in or on the left hand", so I assume it falls under the "have alternative animations that range from being as simple as adjusting the left arm to completely re-animating the power" clause.
