Back into PvP...

Hi everyone, after almost a years break, and back strong. PvP has changed a lot, but I'm willing to adjust.

What I'm not willing to do, just yet anyway, is to carry on with the whole number crunching thing, so I was looking for some pointers.

I've decided the next PvPing Hero I'm going to do is another Tank, seeing as my WP/EM has lost most of its appeal to me due to Energy Transfer - which I can now go afk and make a sandwich with before it has hit.

So, firstly.. how do Shields size up in PvP? At first glance on a Hero Builder they get two great PvE powers, most useful when friendly players are near them. This is probably also good for base raiding, but for now I'm thinking more about Zonal PvP. So, do Shields work.. at all? I'm yet to try one past level 3 and haven't seen one in action in any PvP yet so any advice from experienced users or PvPers is welcomed.

Secondly, is Super Strength the big hitter for Tanks now? It's just... well, obviously I need a secondary for this Shield Tank I may or may not make, and I'm not sure which to pick. EM is out of the question, and unless Ice has been given damage above that of brawl's that pretty much is too. Superstrength is a maybe, although if possible I'd like to steer clear of it due to the fact I have a SS Brute and like trying new things.

How does Mace, or Axe size up to Super Strength? I read that Mace has had a damage boost, but is it enough?

Thanks in advance!

You will notice many pvp´rs have left EU servers, and some off uss have moved to US servers where PvP still excists(myself included) and are unleashing pwnage there
And ice/ss tanks are silly OP atm, i got 1 purpled out and they are very lol to play, not much can stop those things.

Are the yanks *really* as bad at pvp as I've heard rumoured, or is it just a us vs them thing ?

The majority is of the same standard zone wise as the EU, however the experienced arena teams are about the same standard as me
