Anyone who uses this power combination??? I have not seen it in game that much. If i ask for information well i am still learning about IO'S and i am starting this days to join more larger teams.

Been teaming with one quite a bit over the past few weeks from late 20's through late 40's. Doesn't seem to have too many problems with anything, even on large teams, and I don't believe the build uses anything but SOs at this point. Willpower is a great survivability set that benefits from mitigation in a secondary and War Mace provides pretty good mitigation. What's not to like?|

Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again, and some fan of WP will feel upset and say otherwise, but in my opinion it is the least of the tanking sets due to the weak taunt aura (Mag3, doesn't last long enough to make it from tick to tick). It can get by with taunts and AOEs - and WM's AOEs will help - but you'll find yourself spending more time on the controlling aspect than you would with any other primary. We've had an SD/Elec running with the same team and that helped. Between the two of them, the team rarely has to deal with any aggro.
I don't know many people with a good idea on your budget. Try using basic IOs then post. From there that can be looked at and then somethings that might help you further the build could be said. Take one power at a time and see what the likely cost is. I don't personally keep tabs on the market.
Most Willpower suggestions are likely to be expensive. A common trend is to up S/L with 4 kinetic combats in 5 of your attacks. That's already expensive but thats to get it upto some peoples idea of good. Smashing Haymakers are probably cheaper but then they do less. Reactive Armours in your shields maybe best but again that maybe pricey but you can with patience pick them up cheap at times. 6 slots of perfect Zingers is a cheap way of getting S/L up in taunt.
Edit: I did have a build suggestion for a mate when it comes to WP/Mace, if I still had it, it might be still too expensive.
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.
Yunalesca, in terms of the build you posted, one thing I noticed is that IMO you're going to want Mind Over Body earlier than level 30. It can wait until late teens, early 20s, but I wouldn't put it off past that. Also, keep in mind that because Quick Recovery gives even more of a recovery boost than Stamina, there's no need to rush to get Stamina that early.
I also think that Conserve Power is a wasted pick on a character that has both QR and Stamina. There are a lot of powers that would be more useful; Hasten, Build Up and CJ come to mind.
Here's the order I would use with your power picks and dropping Conserve Power for Hasten:

Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
Thank you so much for the notes. I gonna start testing since right now she is level 12.
Finduilas: As always thanks for those suggestions in choosing the right powers. Conserve power is totally a waist ans hasten will be very good for this power combination.
Streetlight: Thanks for letting me know about your experience with a Willpower/Warmace Tanker. Lately i have a lot of fun joining full teams instead of my typical routine of soloing to 3 player teams. Which is not bad but it will not always be that way and i most open for it.
New Dawn: I have locate the build which you made for a fellow player and it is very good. It's not over expensive as other builds i have saw. Thanks for your reply.
Every player is different and I'd prolly differ in a build suggestion by seeing what they go for slotwise, some people may not care to much about certain things cos of who they play with.
Power choices is something I don't like to suggest changes for but sometimes ya can feel it best. Lets say you have QR and Stamina and was looking at getting Conserve Energy. It is from looking at your slots, your end recovery during a fight duration - the end drain during the fight duration, end drain resistance and typically say energy defense as to whether or not I'd say it's "needed", chances are, it could be at times useful but on the whole not as useful as something else.

I was planning to make a Shield/Warmace Tanker but since i am starting to have knowledge about the new IO System and i still have way much to learn, I will preferred to go with Willpower which will be better to start and more cheaper. Willpower will do a lot better for my character concept too.
Here is the powers i was planning to choose:
Sylph (Clown Girl): Level 50 Natural Tanker
Primary Power Set: Willpower
Secondary Power Set: War Mace
Power Pool: Flight
Power Pool: Fitness

I will like to have some advice in which In-Expensive IO's can help me with this build. No purple IO'S or Numina's. I will take care of the Numina as soon i am making more Influence. You can critic the build too since with Willpower the Conserve Power will not be that necessary after all.
I am interested in a build that can help me in team situations. Since i have a Dark/Willpower Brute, She has always been very good at soloing but i will like my Tanker to be a team player.
Any advice here will be very appreciated.
