Holding a shield doesn't effect the SS animation, but it looks kinda cool as you sometimes swing with your shield arm, especially if you use the double-handed animation for KO Blow.
As for a better tank idea, all tank build have there pros and cons. Its hard to cover all aspects, there will be something out there or combination of effects that will just out drop you dead.
Just get an idea and go with what you like. Its all about having fun.
I have several tanks. Like too many. One of them being a Shield/SS and this is after doing a Shield/Mace, the question is always going to come down to how well you know the game. It's not what two sets go together, its how you slot and play.
Don't put your ego inside a toon, love the concept and if you run into problems that you don't feel you can overcome just ask here.
We've all been fresh, had problems, found things seemingly impossible or improbable but there is always a solution to be found, don't ever be too embarrassed to ask.

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.
Thanks for the replies, I am going to go ahead and roll a SD/SS Tank, I'll attempt a build and post it here for critique (something I've never really done, even thought Ive played a few toons).

Yeah - the best possible advice is to just roll with it, and play whatever you think might be cool. There is no one "perfect" tank for everything, they all have pros and cons.

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Yes. It is a pretty nice combination with a strong taunt aura and above average damage for a tank. |

The only issue I had with mine (and one reason I deleted him) is that there are 2 powers you will probably want on autofire, but the game only lets you do one.
My other reason for deleting mine is that Street Justice fit my concept better.
It's a good tank combo, but it tends to be on the squishy side in the face of a lot of enemy to-hit buffs. You'll be just fine for probably 95% of the game though.

Im considering making A tank and Was thinking Shield/Super Strength. My questions are do these go together to make a Tank for teaming and the occasional Soloing? Also Can I get him to a acceptable survivablity with SO's as I do not have millions/billions to spend on IO's.
Oh yes Almost forgot, Does holding a shield affect Super Strength's animations?
Or if you have a better Tank that would work Im all ears.
Many thanks for all who post here.
