With Episode 5's damage nerf, we can lay aside shield skills to up the damage of sacrifice. We also have enough skills to improve our survivability via Battle Chant heal which can go up to 30K+ AOE heal depending on equips and food. This also means that we don't have to worry about dex, so we can pump up str and agi.
As in every game, this is not the best build, rather just one of the many you can try. Note that I've seen Royal Guard Shielders that still do massive damage in Ep.5, so it can be done with good equips and deposit.
