WM/SD build critique

[Linkubus]

Hello all! I've finally taken the plunge and have started tinkering with a build of my own, decided on Mace/Shield mostly for aesthetics but even during live I was pretty casual and never really got into the end game set building. Any thoughts on my first attempt would be most appreciated! Incarnates were sort of a shot in the dark, and I've absolutely no idea about a proper Lore pet haha.

------------

 

Few key points:

 

1) Soft-capped positional defenses (without phalanx fighting active; with it, you get a nice buffer for DDR)

2) 1 power slot + 4 regular slots open to do as you please

3) Ageless Destiny might not be necessary; I'd only use it for the endurance (the recharge slotting + global recharge level I have is sufficient to do the chain of Clobber - Shatter - Jawbreaker - repeat without ageless). If your endurance is good without ageless, you can choose another destiny such as barrier (to get some more resistances + drop some defense slotting since barrier will give a minimum of 5% to all at its lowest), or perhaps something like Rebirth.

 

Hope this helps.
