So call me carzy 4.0 tank idea.

Viking could certainly work thematically for a game based heavily on water travel.

We've all been pretty bent on SAM being our likely tank, though.

Most likely either duel 1 hand axes, hand axe + shield or a 2-handed war hammer. Possibly use a fury system similar to warriors in WoW only the angrier you are the more damage you deal/less you receive... maybe at 100% you have a red flame effect on your character for some kind of berserker rage.

What would the weapons be?

I vote for one-handed mace (Mjolnir relic gogo) and a shield, but focused more around retaliatory blocks and use the shield more like a striking weapon than paladin does.

Also to differentiate it from warrior, viking could have more magic-based attacks that do lightning, water, or even ice damage. They'd probably have more speed than warriors. kinda like bulkier rogues, and even have Pillage as a skill. For defensive components, they could possibly be built around block strength (paladin is a little more about block rate), and have Pillage as a cooldown to reduce the target's damage dealt and maybe increase damage taken by the target as well.
