Yea 80 is very high if you know which weapons do how much stability/poise damage. Basically it can block almost anything, although multiple hits from a great hammer or an ultra greatsword will break its guard, but the same goes for any other greatshield. The problem with this shield is it weights 20.0 units and there is no realistic way to even medium roll with this shield unless you went medium to light armor and a medium weapon and that kind of defeats the purpose of going with a very heavy greatshield except Havel's which is just better. I suppose with Havels ring and FaP you could still fast roll with this, a light armor, 5.0 unit weapon but why not just use a Tower shield in that case and use a heavier,more powerful weapon and/or better armor? I have never used this shield or the Stone Set and never will but that is just because I never play a full str/endurance/vitality build because it is very limited in what it does but if I did, I would use this over Havel's because the total weight is less, allowing mid roll with the aforementioned rings and some minor tweaking of gear(switch out the helmet and gauntlets and not use the stone sword but a Claymore or Heavy Spear).
