Always getting Stunlocked in Ritual

Soon as I trigger a Ritual, sometimes monsters spawn right on you. Even in I swing my Staff, they swing and stunlock me instantly. and even if button mash, an attack never gets off before they stunlock me to death. They stunlock through 5000 ES... like WTF. Makes me never want to do Ritual again with 1 life, That also NEEDS TO GO, the 1 life map crap, its Dumb and NOT FUN.

Does your gear [or tree or something else?] have Stun threshold buffs or similar??

I invested a fair bit and I'm starting to get stunned a lot more than I think I should even though I've got tons of block.
