why did you use grace and skill unwavering stance ?

Unwavering Stance is pretty much mandatory with most melee builds, especially those that requires constant damage dealing to heal them self up and this is exactly the case with this one. Without it some bosses will stun you even with 5k+ hp pool, breaking your ability to facetank, you will deal no damage when stunned, but more important - you wont heal yourself via endurance charges consumption and you might rip.

Grace provides large amount of builds armor through Iron Reflexes so it can reach 14k region. Theres like 9 endurance charges spinning around and Immortall Call via cwdt BUT there are also moments, especially when running from pack to pack, when you might have 0 charges. There are also moments (very short ones) when facetanking a boss with 0 charges (like at the beginning of the fight). 14k armor on its own provides enough protection for many small phys dmg hits like goaliath spikes, titty bitches barrage attacks, academy boss nados and so on. And even vs big hits (like Dominu light of divinity smash for example) 14k armor provides additional level of reduction alongside endurance charges and fortify. This is especially important as build doesnt have bazilion hp pool.

BTW: kinda weird question from a HC player.

Hm. One place that I'm pretty certain you'll get stunned a lot is Alluring Abyss. Now, many players dont plan to do that. But there are various red maps with dmg modes, especially the double ones like:

x% increased monster damage + monster deals x% extra damage as fire/light/cold

monster deals x% extra damage as fire/light/cold + monsters has x% increased crit chance y% crit damage

And to be perfectly honest I dont know how it will work out. Do you have experience running any of these without Iron Reflexes?
