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?

First things first, temper your expectations. You probably will not get this build to wave 30 regardless of how much you invest in it.

Second question: are you following a guide? Your pathing and build choices are very suspect. For example you take 5 points on your way to the suppress cluster when you could take 4 going straight. You also don't take the life wheel which is right there and instead path to marauder life which costs a ton of points. And there's a ton of unallocated 2 point jewel sockets.

For gearing, every piece of your gear sucks and needs to be improved. The most straightforward thing is get a divine/eternal life flask. Hallowed won't heal enough with a 4k life pool. After that, I'd question the choice of using a staff. Cold iron point + shield for example would be way more damage and way more defensive.

I'm not following a guide. I threw this one together myself in an effort to better understand the systems underpinning the game. If this won't get to wave 30, what will?

After that, I’d question the choice of using a staff. Cold iron point + shield for example would be way more damage and way more defensive.

No reason other than I thought it would be fine.

And there’s a ton of unallocated 2 point jewel sockets.

What kind of jewels should I be using with this build?

In terms of guardian, you can do arakaali's fang/Herald of purity. Mostly you either need to do unbelievable amounts of damage or be mostly immortal to do wave 30. Guardian can't really do the damage so you need to try and be as tanky as possible which means aegis aurora, chaos inoculation, divine shield, max block and so forth.

I do wave 30 on a cremation Necro for example because I can't really die due to 88 all res and aegis.
