Funny you should bring this up, the stacking of Phalanx Fighting and Grant Cover are the exact reason my buddy and I are level pacting to 50 with DM/SD scrappers. We might be interested in joining up every now and then.
This group should be named "Overkill" 
When the Shield set first dropped I think the REPEAT OFFENDERS coalition created a Spartan Themed gang of all BS/Shield Scappers. From what I head about it, they were nigh unstoppable.

I was on a team one time with at least 2 fully IOed Elec/Shd/Fire Scrappers and a third well on the way.
It was not quite like watching 8 kin defenders, but it was worth mentioning.
"Is that continuous explosion coming this way?!"
11 months of all-nighters, messy feeding sessions, bath fighting and realizing just how good my son's lungs work, and I am still convinced he is the crowning accomplishment in my life. What in the blue HFIL is wrong with me?
I've ran a couple all Shield Scrapper ITFs. Extremely fun to say the least. But it I might be interested depending on the server and if this starts after i21. Want to play WM/SD so bad =P

The only issue with a team of 8 Shield characters is that you'll cap defense so fast it's ridiculous. It will be to the point where you'll be at and about iTrails defense cap. You'll be better served with 2-4 support classes or ranged classes to add damage.
On a side note, I bet 8 shield toons charging looks AWESOME.
Hi all, sense I started back up with play CoH I was thinking about making a Shield using character, and with the way Shield Defense works and the powers that work based on having allies around, granting cover to others with a defense boost, and the enemy damage debuff, do these effects stack from each individual character?
If so, then if you ran a team with atleast 5 Shields Defense Scrappers (going with them for best damage output to use with SD,) you would get 10.5 Def from Phalanx Fighting (3 Team Mates in range) Grant Cover giving each Scrapper 33.752 Def and 42.19 Def for any other Team Mates and then Against All Odds debuffing the damage on enemies in range by -37.5.
Now I know that these are based upon there being a max of 10 enemies in range at one time for the Debuff and the group staying fairly close together, but if we started some groups up around this idea and made a play night of it like Tanker Tuesday or Brutal Monday/Thursday, it would make for some really survivable groups, not to mention having a group with that many Scrappers together trying to take down everything in sight as fast as possible.
So with that idea in mind is there anyone else out there interested in something like this? Either we can create a theme group could be RP based or get kinda silly and make a Monty Pythons Knights of the Round Table (bring your own coconuts) type thing, or just do it as another get together night. That being said if you are interested but already have a SD character and want to play something else, I left room team wise for others to join in, who wants a moving Shield wall of crazy scrappers granting you defense and beat stuff down as the come to it.
This is just to introduce the idea and see how it floats, no server decision or anything yet, so thoughts?
