I would have done it first but i am not at home will post when home :)
 
Sorry dint post mine yet forget to come on forums when i am home i play WAR.:)

Skurm i got lvl 15 ironbreaker too :)
But i keep away from shields since i saw what a 2 hander does to squishies ....
Playing 2 iron breakers together with my friend we lvl Buff each other up even with gaurd if theres no healers split dmg between us makes it hard for soceress to burst us down.

The 2H vs 1H+shields debate is interesting. If you stack strength on your gear, your damage actually isn't much lower at all, and you get to keep the utility of having a knockdown and certain other shield-only abilities. I used to use a 2H as well, but after experimenting found that I was killing stuff just as fast with a shield and 1h, and could actually pull and kill multiple mobs at a time. That and Hold the Line is really strong in pvp if used correctly.

That said, a 2H is definately nice when going mano-a-mano. Ran into a gobbo shaman a level or two higher than me('Challenging'), alone in a RvR lake the other day and he tried to take me down, I was able to outdps his healing and beat him down, which is quite the feat for tank classes in this game.

I loved my knockdown but my dmg was about 50% less than my budie playing with me also ironbreaker 2 hander he was sitting next to me with his pc could see what each hit was .

It depends what stats he was stacking compared to you. If you were stacking a lot of Toughness and Wounds and stuff but packing a 2H your dps won't actually be that much higher, if at all, than another guy stacking Strength and Weapon Skill but using a shield + 1H.

I stack Strength and W.Skill wherever I can, and spec into Path of Vengeance. I still keep a 2H around and while the damage is better, it isn't really like double or anything. I'd say it's about 10, 20% at most. What I found though is that having a shield helps a LOT and mitigates a ton of damage, which more than makes up for the small dps loss, and my PQ grinding is faster because I just pull like 3 to 5 mobs at a time and wear them down. In PVP having the knockdown and shield bash aoe is fantastic, the aoe in particular increases your overall damage done at the end of the match quite significantly.

But I can totally see the 2H allure, it's a lot of fun as well. It's really just personal choice. Of course if you tank a PQ boss or something you should probably still switch to shield + 1H.

Well i out dpsed him in scenarios but only cause i lived longer.

Did 40k dmg last nigth in scenario with 2 hander :) on Rank 15 top dps and there was people that were rank 21
 
This thread is now about Ironbreakers.

What abilities do you mostly use? I use Stone Breaker (armor reduction), then the snare+dot(forget the name) then spam Heavy Blow, refreshing Stonebreaker and the snare when they expire or I remember. There's so many abilities though, i keep forgetting to recharge my Inspiring Attack and the other buffs. My n52te is already out of keybinds and i'm not even lvl 20 yet. It looks like it may soon be relegated to white elephant status (700 bucks in sy moer in) and I go back to my G15 keyboard. Need More Keys!
