Depends on your build. I liked the stats on BW, overall, though the penalty to Dex was a bit rough. I liked the look of the lower half, too, but those shoulderpads gotta go.
Doom is viable, as well, though has gotten really expansive lately.
If you plan on being your party tank, I would suggest a 1hand weapon and a shield, but, if not, the Greatsword will serve you well. Also, I would suggest that, if you choose the greatsword, consider some +Dex tattoos as that will improve your attack speed with the weapon.
I was considering + 4 STR - 4 CON, as a SwS yourself, you could understand why, but the BW cuts the CON already, is it safe to go further? What tats do you suggest?
I went with Blue wolf and +4 STR -4CON. It's very viable, nice boost to your damage without crippling your CON completely, it's a very worthwhile tradeoff. I also had +4 DEX in my young days, CON doesn't really matter when you PVE, so max out that damage any way you can. I also use a Damascus Focus with shield.
Now I use Tallum Heavy and still have my +4 STR and +3 Damascus with NM shield. I can tank decently with a shield equipped, and the Damascus isn't completely horrible, cheap on the shots and crits alot.
Going CON setup as an SWS is a complete waste IMO. You're a terrible DD already, and not a very good tank either. Why not deal as much pain as you can.. with + STR and a bow you can be quite painfull in PVP, and SWS isn't the first target usually :P

Exactly, though I went for the crit-machine build with +Dex/+Str and lots of -CON. I'm not the tank, I'm not the first target in PVP and, when it comes down to that, the rest of the party is dead anyway, so I'm really rather irrelevant.... sometimes I can outrun enemies if I need to.
I've personally always stuck with Heavy armour as a matter of taste. While some Light sets have arguably more preferable stats, the higher PDef of Heavy will come in handy when you happen to grab aggro, sing at the wrong time, get an add, whatever. You don't get any Light masteries, and 40 levels of Heavy, so might as well make use of them.
Doom Light is awful cute though, at least on female LE.
yeah tyrant definately can
not sure on destro though and it should be faster than all archers and daggers but maybe not with dash
either way you will be hella fast with good dps
You should have about 214 speed with BW and +4 DEX, that's pretty fast! AW/PW will catch you with Blinding blow and TH with Dash, Tyrants can easily catch you.. don't think Destroyers can, even with zerk and Zealot they only get like 20x speed.
A tyrant with song of wind, zerk, ww, +dex, and rabbit totem is pretty funny to watch. It starts missing frames because the toon is moving too fast.
BW seems the better way to go, but I've never been a big fan of doom light. My tyrant still uses plated leather instead of the doom set I made for him.

That would require another SwS to be present.. if that were the case, I'd BPSP-Entangle the Tyrant and run away =p
too bad tyrant cripple has a higher land rate and casts faster :P

True, but it's not 100%, and LE tend to have higher MDef, level-for-level.
I'd still run away... if the Tyrant is chasing me, he's not hitting me =p

Force Blaster, Force Storm and Ragin Force :P
Cripple is a physical skill, but I think MEN resists it. Fighter MEN is horrible.. I remember back in C1 I could land it 50% or so on people 20 levels over me, and like 90% on equal levels.. but that was a LONG time ago hehe
