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?

Also - keep in mind that Simulacrum after wave 25 or so (I forget exactly when) hits 100% delirious. That means normal and magic monsters take 96% reduced damage, which is a huge jump from 80% delirious enemies which take like 80% damage.

So in order to beat Simulacrum 30, you need to be able to deal roughly 25x the damage you need to do in order to beat red maps. 25m dps is something I've seen thrown around as a good AoE damage target.

For reference, I have a Saboteur who uses Progenesis, constant ES and Life Leech, dodge, blind, Endurance Charges, Fortify, and 75% suppression as his defensive layers. As well as 12m AoE Elemental DPS. I can still only get to roughly wave 25 before I die.
