Now, I helped a friend build a willpower / war-mace tank.
As you can see from the shots, it's not exactly IO tweaked, nor is it I19'd for inherent / incarnate.
My own Willpower / Stone melee tank is posted here: http://zerias.blogspot.com/2010/05/c...elee-tank.html
We approached our willpower's from different points of view. My friend went for boosting up his tank with more defenses. My tank went for recharge rate and hp boosts.
Depending on what you want to do with your tank will pretty much determine what IO's you take. If you want recharge, go for recharge. If you want defense, go for defense. If you want HP boosts, go for HP boosts.

To the OP, WP/Mace is a fine combo, and not uncommon. It's just that if you don't have an appropriate build on hand, it's a little easier to respond to a request for tweaking an existing build rather than come up with one whole cloth.
Here's a quick common IO build I put together for WP/Mace. I did add two unique set IOs that I think would be particularly useful for you, the Steadfast +Def and the Kismet +Acc. They're a little expensive--though not on the order of a LotG +Recharge--but well worth it, IMO. I used level 35 commons where it made sense to save some influence, but you could use 50s instead. This would also work for a SO build, though in that case you might want to try to find a third slot for Hasten and Build Up.

Oh, forgot to mention, another option is to go for the Medicine Pool and Aid Self. You'd have to drop one of the current pools--I'd recommend Hasten or CJ--and drop another power, mostly likely SoW or Resurgance, but your preference.

WOW!! Thank you je_saist and Finduilas
This gives me a lot of direction!!
Hi, I was wondering if any one would mind sharing a Will Power/War Mace Tank build for i19. I am new to tanking but not the the game.
I do not have a lot of money for IO's so a SO build would be great! Not that I'm turning down an IO build lol, so if anyone posts one of those it would be great too!! I have a preference for flying, but open to any other flight that suits the build better.
The main thing I'm trying to accomplish with this build is being able to take a fair amount of damage and dealing out a fair amount of damage.
Thanks in advance for builds, suggestions, and advice!!
