THOR...your best Mace builds.

In honor of this summers upcoming Thor movie (drool) I was wondering what kinda builds people have come up with that involved the mighty Hammer (mace) here. I've been wanting to start one up, and so I did, Will/Mace. But almost went with Inv/Mace instead as it seems to cover the comic character better, but I wanted to be able to swing my weapon freely and not fight the inevitable energy crash. Thus Will/Mace.

Anyway, would love to see what anyone has come up with and post it here.

Well.

I got her to level 8 last night, after I changed her to a Inv/Mace. That's no put down on the Will/Mace Archtype, but I wanted her to be able to take an Alpha Strike better than a Will can. So far so good.

I have only had Going Rogue for a couple days but I can say I love the change to the builds. Adding Fitness to the basic set-up has made leveling at the lower levels not as much of a pain as before when managing Stamina issues. I had tried out Mace before in a couple different defense mixes, but they all sucked energy so bad I found it not so enjoyable.

Anyway, the mace is fun. Love the 'bounce' effect it has on NPCs, so fun to watch. I can't wait for the movie!

My only quibble is that I've never seen Thor (or Superman, for that matter) as Tankers. I see them as wm/inv and ss/inv Scrappers, respectively. Neither of which are possible (no /inv Scrapper set). I'd be fine with building Thor as a wm/wp Brute and "convert" him... but THAT isn't possible either (no wm/ Brute set).

Never mind the fact that, to me, the big hammer looks... stupid. I'd sooner build an evil clown with a brightly-colored squeaky mallet with that thing. And, as bad as it is, nothing else comes closer to the correct hammer style.

Scrappers do have Invulnerability, they just don't have Super Strength or War Mace. Also, Brutes do have War Mace as a primary, so Thor as a WM/WP Brute converted to a Hero would be perfectly legitimate.

Yeah, Invuln scrappers have been around for a very long time and war mace (and ax) brutes have been in for a while now as well.

I'd go wm/elec brute for some of his lightning powers. Invuln would work well too, but I have one of those.

Either I'm crazy or people are discussing Tankers in the Brute forum.

And despite the pointlessness of trying to squeeze comic book characters into CoH Archetypes, Superman is definitely a Tanker. He is much more known for his ability to withstand damage than to deal it, and in fact works hard to restrain himself to keep from hurting people. Sounds like Tanker damage to me. But there's no right answer here, so I digress.
