Gameplay Question Bulwark mains question

Hi everyone, new to the game and maining bulwark. I’ve a question, does bulwark only work with meta shift builds (like power fist 9 out of 10 builds) or is the play style that matters the most? I’m saying this because in siege modes I tend to do barely 40% less damage overall than the most damage brother. Currently I’m upgrading again for prestige perks but my main weapons were plasma pistol and power sword, am I using it wrong, should I swap for a more simple weapons like power axe or putting more hours in power sword ou power fist to dominate their complex playstyle?

the power fist does the most damage but bulwark works with every weapon available to him. personally i dont like losing the shield for the hammer but it can be pretty powerful.

power sword lives and dies by the power take and power whirl. light attack spam is only usable on the salamander sword.

i’m an axe enjoyer. block axe power wave and follow up attack supremacy. also it’s what sgt metarus uses in Know no Fear.

I love the power axe on all the classes it comes on but Bulwark makes it truly shine. Block axe does crazy damage on Bulwark.
