I prefer to run this support but it can be played top. After 2 items you are able to tank and peel so long. The stoneplate first item allows you to bait an overcommit from the enemy bot lane and also if jungle ganks you have the 3 people you need for the stoneplate passive. The mallet allows you to be stickier because your taunt cooldown is pretty high and your energy costs are very high. You can do warmog's 3rd and still have the 3k health but the resistance item will be more useful. Also late game you can sell your support item if you need another item that has better stats.
