You COULD try to get a double-corrupted Asenath's. Either by double-corrupting them in the temple, or via Divination card (that's how i got mine with life / +1 frenzy charge Implicit). Or try to corrupt your diadem (Mana multiplier so you can use Precision, +2 to Aura gems). But tbh, that's only if you really want to min max it and not at all necessary.
I myself even decided to give up some damage and go for bigger AoE, including a medium AoE-cluster jewel and switching all live nodes to skill AoE-nodes. Sitting at 3.1k life atm, but clearing with bigger AoE feels really good. It also scales the explosions. But mostly, it's just for testing... For bosses, i got my nearly immortal Golemancer.
Thanks for the build, I made it to level 100 for the first time ever, doing nothing but mapping normally and running heists.
This character simply doesn't die no matter what, the clear speed is awesome and the damage is ridiculous. All around a 10/10 build.
I'm running with some different stuff that apparently no one else here or on poe.ninja seems to be running with, so I'm leaving my POB here for inspiration.

Of note:
- 42M+ Sirus damage
- 11.25 seconds long BV
- 4.2 seconds long immortal call with 3 charges (mapping/heists)
- Minions with taunt on hit
- Chaos res cap
For the "Bossing" tree/item set in POB, uncheck power/frenzy/endurance charges in the configuration.

@HornedTerrorist you mind sharing your heist methods for farming so much currency in just 2 days? I feel I'm missing something. Are you doing just certain types of contracts?
My goal at this point is indeed a headhunter :)
Thanks!
Not at all. Though i have to say, it was at a time where small currency still was worth a little bit, and Ex:Chaos were at 1:70. I did two things: mapping and heisting (contracts + blueprints).
You get a ton of Contracts, if you're doing efficient, fast mapping. 5 to 8 contracts per juiced map is the average. I like to farm Delirium (Zana mod) Strand, with Scarabs (Polished Legion, Rusted Breach, Rusted Ambush, Rusted Elder) and Alva-missions. Zana mod costs 16c, with 4c for the scarabs. So 20c investment. Simulacrum was at 120c, so i needed 50 splinter to break even, the rest was pure profit. Depending on where the legion monolith and breach spawned, i got between 70 and 110 splinter each run. And as said, a LOT of contracts and some blueprints.
I really love this guy's channel. It's the non-plus-ultra for PoE currency making imo. So i sorted my contracts. took me quite some time. I put all S-Tier and A-Tier contracts in a quad tab, and then searched the remaining ones for "Priceless" (~4k Rogue Markers) and "Precious" (~2.5k Rogue Markers) and added them too, even if they were C-Tier.
Then go to your stash tab, search for "magic" and scour them all. Then again, search for "rare", and alch every contract that is greyed out.
Next thing, you want to search for "reflect" and reroll the physical reflect ones. And last but not least, the most important: search for "occur" (lockdown occurs immediately).
Also, raft your follower gear. It makes hell of a difference! At least for the ones you're using 90% of the time (Karst, Tullina, Vinderi, Gianna). Grimro made a good video about crafting follower gear too. In short: increased time before lockdown + reduced alert level from opening chests.
You should also invest some chaos into getting a really good trinket. The "regal as exalt" ones are insane, but i didn't want to invest so much currency. So i got myself one with two mods "xyz drop as chaos instead". Did cost me 40c, and it was worth it.
Then, just run heists. Priority is survival, damage is not nearly as important (this build has enough anyways).
Considering blueprints, i mostly ran Replica ones. Got myself a Replica Shroud of the Lightless, Replica Farrul's Fur and 6-link Replica Loreweave. But i ran quite some of them, and even had some crashes due to bugs and lost quite some currency. You can also run blueprints with other reward types, as long as they have a good reward-list (Press "Alt" to see which chests will spawn). You also don't have to reveal each room - Metamorph + Prophecy for example suck. Don't waste markes on them. Also, don't waste markers on the second exit. If you're so squisyh that you need it, change your build a bit.
All of that combined gave me a ton of currency, gear and over 500 stacked decks... some exalt cards in there, one nurse and one doctor. You'll get SOMETHING useful out of those in that quantity.
I'm currently at work so I'll post my gear later. But I'm running a +1 curse chest with life/inc life/2x regenerates mods. But I'm thinking of just pathing to whispers and making a new chest. I have an awakened orb, 50ex and am currently running a hh. I think I'd prefer a +2 - +4 carcass but in the mean time what do I aim for with my awakened? Probably some +gem but what second mod for dps? I'd like to stay over 5k life so i was thinking %life but is there some huge dps option I'm missing
Ps. Not so humble brag, after 5k hours I'm running my first ever hh as I ancient orbed 2 in 6 ancient orbs

Having 5k life is pretty nice. I'm running with 3.1k life, and it's ok most of the time (got my Golemancer for Sirus now, using BV only for mapping or delving). But it's not that safe ;-)
Spell crit or PCoC are nice to have on a chest, but this is no crafting league, so it's pretty much rng anyways i'd say
@HH
I know that feeling. Tried a few k chancing orbs over different leagues with the nemesis mod, never got one. I bought one every league. Until last league, where i got lucky and dropped one in a Delirium map with Nemesis mod and 150% unique scarab. Completely different feeling than just buying one.
Nevertheless, my dream is one day to invest a lot of currency to chance a Space-Hunter...
but i can give up the 3 passives for whispers and roll a new chest...
dont need pcoc cuz dagger implicit almost 100% uptime
spell crit? frenzy on hit?
sockets support or active gems? gotta assume one of those for the prefix... if i do active + frenzy i have a chance of rolling active+support albeit ridiculously small
id like to keep at 5k life tho so maybe inc health?
edit: i get my res (barely) with my jewels, including 2x fettle jewels tht give me about 500hp so those must stay as well
also self poison watchers + goldn rule

ok so I read you discussion. opened a crazy nemesis map, I had 3 ancients orbs
I hit a unique leather belt with ancient orb and on the first try i got this:
so much luck!
it's going to be hard to cap resistance with so much uniques and 2 clusters wheels. I read somewhere that u said that it's better not to use CIP with headhunter?
i have 20 exalts and 800 chaos I am going to buy a new ring to cap resistance, any recommendation?
i am going to miss the jewel I crafted :(
