Do we know if main tanks are intended to have more off-hand options than just shields?

I really love playing tanks in MMORPGs, have been doing it for about 20 years now. Ironically, I have never really liked the aesthetic of shields 
. If a game offers it, then I always gravitate towards any class with less traditional tank aesthetics (berserkers, shapeshifters, martial artists, etc), which I somehow always find way more awesome.
Has anything been shared about this so far, specifically for the Tank archetype main-tank role? Do we know if they are always going to have a shield in their off-hand in AoC, or will there also be other (effective) options?

You may use any weapon on your Tank in AoC.
Theoretically, at least some of the two-handed weapons will be effective, but I don't think we have absolute confirmation of that, yet.
We know that some of the Tank abilities (at least one) will require you to equip a shield though.
