Future mara build advice

Currently, I am looking at possibly going Sword + Board. Should I spec into Ground Slam or Lightning Strike with such a build? Also, A base build to go off of would be wonderful. I like making my own, but I need something to base it off of.


Thanks.

Edit: I'll be posting my ideas of builds, and you may critique if you like.
