Weapons
This build uses two One-Handed Maces and a Shield on your offhand for both weapon sets. Though it is not necessary to have, the Nebuloch Execratus Hammer serves a key function in your skill rotation which allows you to hit massive single-target damage.
In general, you are looking for damage amplifiers on your other One-Handed Mace then defensive stats on your Shield.
Armor and Accessories
Since this build uses the Smith of Kitava Ascendancy Class, you are looking for a lot of Fire Resistance and modifiers to Maximum Elemental Resistance. Other than that, Level of All Melee Skills, Armour, Maximum Mana and Maximum Life are all incredibly useful stats.
Looking for good Body Armor is also simpler since the Smith of Kitava only needs one with Normal Rarity. Look for Normal Rarity Body Armor with Exceptional Quality and 3 rune slots, which you can upgrade to 4 later on.

For your weapons, slot in Guatelitzi's Soul Core of Endurance on your non-Unique mace to reliably gain Endurance Charges after successful Perfect Strikes. Place Farrul's Rune of the Hunt on your Nebuloch for better damage against bosses.
Tzamoto's Soul Core of Ferocity on your helmet further improves your damage, while the rest of the Soul Cores on your Armor help with survivability.

The best combo for its modifiers would be additional Maximum Fire Resistance and Maximum Endurance Charges. This can be achieved by using an Essence of Insanity on a belt. Aside from that, you are still looking for defensive stats such as Maximum Life, Armour, and Elemental Resistances.
For the Charms, this build uses two Golden Charms due to its increased item rarity and Guard modifier. This further improves sustainability since incoming damage with be absorbed by the Guard stat first before your HP. Lastly, Silver Charm is generally convenient since it can be lethal when getting slowed down by enemy packs.

Your passive skills Herald of Ash and Berserk are there for additional damage, which can make the endgame easier.
A stronger variation would be to use Rakiata's Flow and Ambrosia support gems. Combined with Waistgate Heavy Belt and 2 Mana Flasks, this variation increases DPS by around 30%. However, this is not necessary since the build can go through endgame content without them.

※ Legend: Red = Weapon Set I | Green = Weapon Set II
In general, you will want to boost your warcry usability and melee damage while still maintaining decent Armour and high Elemental Resistances. Place your Nebuloch into Weapon Set 2, while Weapon Set 1 is meant for everything else, including clearing and shield skills.
The points you allot to Weapon Set 1 focus mainly on general damage and utility for every other skill other than Shield Wall. Meanwhile, Weapon Set 2 focuses solely on building damage for Shield Wall.
