I'm curious, what would it take to to get this build to wave 30 comfortably?

So far, I've made it to wave 15 in the Simulacrum before I get 3-shot into oblivion, and I'm only really having trouble doing T14-T16 rare red maps outside of that. Inside the sim, I can't tell what's killing me but it feels like I'm getting stunned.

Any advice?

Fair enough, wave 30 is basically endgame for the top 1%. But as far as my current build goes I'd think that this would be enough for T16 rare reds but it's not. I've got spell suppression, max resists (except for chaos), capped block, and decent phys reduction through armour and charges on hit. What am I missing?

One thing that you can try is set incoming damage to 10k of all types in PoB. That helped me a lot with armor, as the default hit is very small.

If phys is not a problem, it is probably elemental. To be really durable you need a lot of HP, high max resist or Transcendence (my favourite) or some other interesting mechanic.

Maybe you are killed by shock or corrupted blood? Have you taken note of what kills you?
