No comment on the Shield side of things, but you don't really need two end reducers in Tough/Weave. One level 50 generic IO is plenty. I usually go with 4 slots(3 and 1), or 3 (*/end) if I'm frankenslotting.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

For phalanx fighting it's important to remember that the 'always on' portion of the defense does not benefit at all from enhancements. For a scrapper that portion is always going to be 3.75% no matter how you enhance it.
Enhancements will improve the portion you receive from being near other players, but each player you benefit from has to be withing 8 feet of you (basically melee range.) So those slots are wasted unless you're going to manage to stay huddled up against other players.

@Inquisitor
Thank you for the tough/weave suggestion. Right now my toon has physical perfection and all my attacks has 2 end reducers. Thanks again!
Thanks Morbid!
I was just reading miladys Knight "Broadsword/shield scrapper" guide. He suggested not to add slots to Phallanx Fighting. Right now my broadsword shield scrapper is almost 47. In my build I have Phallanx with 3 slots. Is that too much?
Thank you!
Another reason why I'm asking is because I really want to add slots to tough and weave. I'm thinking about slotting them both with 5 slots each (Tough: 3 Dam resist & 2 end reducers. Weave: 3 Def buffs and 2 end reducers) I'm concerned about the end, that's why I want to add 2 ends in those powers. Suggestions, comments, and constructive criticism please!!
