If you opt to use the full stronghold set, then this build might suit you better- Ultimate Hardcore Stronghold Set Shieldbreaker- The Siege Maiden.
Virtue’s Shield is there for the modifiers to Aegis of Menhir, so it’ll hurt the overall damage output if you opt to go without that. it’s still a viable option however, but just less efficient (Say you have the full stronghold set, but lack Virtue’s Shield, then the Stronghold Shield is a worthy stand-in)
