This is just something I'm using in my homebrew, but I'd like a few thoughts on it if anyone is willing. Is it overpowered, etc.?

Unyielding Construct

Developed by a small sect of Warforged monks, the Way of The Unyielding Construct teaches one how to bolster your own defense to the point where you can ignore most forms of damage altogether at the expense of offense. It has been known for the monks of this sect to simply stand still while their enemis tire themselves out with ineffective attacks.
