walking ofc, you don't make it to the end of the game running no matter what as a melee

Why not using mercenary? They are no longer bugged after dying.

Akt 2 Shapeshifter or Akt 5 Barbarian seems natural choice but each type of mercenaries got its use with decent gear if you go for specific area to farm.

Because I haven't got the pleasure to get my hands on the mentioned late game uniques yet:

Are there good alternatives to the sacred uniques mentioned in the late game build? I'm playing single-player only and have access to all great runes and some elemental runes for runewords.

Edit: What socketables are you using in your weapon? I'm using a crafted claymore with 4x Jah in it atm, would rainbow stones be better?

Maybe im missing something, but how does this build survive in Normal/Terror? I have the items needed but i end up with 0 resists with em and theres no mention of slotting resist gear anywhere O.O

Also, even with Wolf Stance, im still getting only 1% Block Chance ... so whats the point of a shield that doesnt block?

yep. mo gives you res to your jewelry. also dont rely on block before you have charms as you cant get max block witouth them. rely on defense instead. chance uberskills accordingly.
