Comments
I tried something similar to this but couldn't get enough strength, needed just over 600 and couldn't get much past 400
If you using Resonating Shield / Shield Charge / Magma Barrier then all you want is 2 Handed Mace with +6/7 Melee and Reduced Requirements (I run high Elemental Damage with 3 sockets also because of Avatar of Fire), then you need a shield with as high as armour as possible. I paid 3d for my base shield and crafted it into a 500d shield (only 1 whittle) with 1496 Armour.
