Warrior Totems

Hey im doing a create my own build with ancestral totems now on a warrior, hoping someone can tell me if my idea will work or not going forward. I noticed, Anvil's weight as a warbringer doesn't effect the AT but affects the normal lower tier totem. So they don't break armor if you have them set to sunder, so they don't do that extra armor broken damage.

But I'm looking at swapping to titan to get the aftershock chances, will the aftershock in the ascension tree affect them? also if culling strike will effect them or not

Sunder doesn't break armor because it consumes fully broken armor.

I'm playing totems as a warbringer at the moment. Shockwave totem breaks the armor, then ancestral with sunder consumes the broken armor. Seems to be working just fine.
