Dark has the best synergy, the to-hit debuffs support +def, and it has hp and end recovery powers to cover the gaps in Shield.
Broadsword would also be good, if tankers got it 
Weapon sets are popular for concept reasons, and War Mace is quite buffed now.
I really should do something about this signature.
aah I c =)
no tankers doesnt have BS =(
thx for the hints =) appreciated =)
I would pick mace over axe, mace got a nice looking 'thor hammer' style. Downside.. mace got crappy sounds (the squish sounds). (my WP/mace is 'thor alike').
Axe is great for the looks, few of them look pwetty nice.
I think both you can make up some nice style outfit.
Fire, if you want fire sword only, you have 3 powers to your disposal. Little synergy with shields, it just do damage.
Ice, migation, lovely. But imho bit over the top, while lacking somewhat damage.
SS, lovely set (dispite rage -def crash), great damage and can suit a shield only superhero. (how did they do the 2h smash btw?)
Any i forgot? Or did stone also got shield?
50)Sinergy X/(50)Mika.
(50)MaceX/(50)Encore
Sign the petition, dont let CoH go down! SIGN!
Yeah, there is a stone shield.
I really should do something about this signature.
I usually think up somit I like the idea of in a comic book and then go from there.
I went Shield/Mace, if I was a brute it'll be Dark/Shield and on a scrapper Broadsword/Shield or for coolness MA/Shield.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
tankers can have MA? >.> cba logging in just to check, just got home from work -.-"
i went with Dark/shield, and took some ideas from a comic actually, since I lack creative imagination >.> ^_^

So no Tankers don't get MA.

Shield/SS would appear to be FoTM for the Shield Bash + Footstomp combo, hurl also looks badass one handed 
Shield/Mace here, love it... just awesome! Against All Odds works great as addition to +dmg. Tho I might miss a lil more soft control from my fave set... Stone, Fault + tremor is just awesome.
But, I do not regret pickin' Mace.
I chose Ice Melee for concept and the Hold. Plus, the attack form the primary fills the gap of a decent Tier 9 in the Secondary.

I've seen a lot more Shield/EM than Shield/SS, but I agree that it is a great combo. Shame Tankers are never gonna get the elec sets, the Shield Charge/Lightning Rod combo is rather nice on a brute

Their's nothing wrong with the Tier 9 in Ice Melee - Frozen Aura does the same damage as Footstomp and its all Cold which is less resisted than most damage types.

Footstomp with or without rage active?

Without, the base damage is the same.
As a Tier9 power it's good; obviously SS has the advantage of Rage but I wasn't comparing Sets.

My mistake, sorry. Although I prefer Footstomp because of Rage and Knockback. The sleep component is terrible while teaming.
thought I'd try the tanker with a shield, but cant make my mind up on what to have as secondary...
any thoughts/suggestions is more then welcome
