Who's build has 20 million DPS? I checked the highest is not even 10 million DPS.

Anyway you can have a look at the changes I'm able to do on your build:

I've doubled your DPS as well as Damage per Bleed.

If you can afford Uul-Netol's Vow, that would be slightly better than Ashes of the Stars, but not by much.

In short, the gains is not much because you can only do so much with Jack the Axe. The next step would be a better weapon. Rare axes costing hundreds of divines can double your DPS.

Carefully consider if you want to proceed to min-max your character or play something else.

thank you so much @jeerinho

i have another question please

can gladiator earthquake max block play hardcore and be 0 death ?

I'm glad you have further inquiries. I realized now you simply want something that can tank everything and still clear content fast.

In that case, don't even follow the PoB tree I made for you.

I have no experience on playing HC, so I'll just redirect you to the best in business: Ben.

You can see one of his builds in this league, it can take 55k phys max hit and still does 76 million non-Uber DPS according to my estimations (Disclaimer: This is my estimation based on his character that is publicly visible. I could be missing some details because I don't play the build.):

This build was made with solo self-found and self-crafted gears.

Basically to be tanky without investing too much on gear and passive points, the idea is to:
- Stack endurance charges AND ensure they are up all the time.
- Consistent application of fortify rather than linking them to a movement skill or have a puny 7-10% chance to fortify on hit from body armour enchantment.
- Stack as much armour as possible and manually activate Vaal Molten Shell. "Automation Support" is not safe when it is on cooldown. "Cast When Damage Taken" requires you to be hit first before activation. If you get one-shotted to death, CwDT won't activate.
- Redirect physical damage to be taken as some element.
- Cap spell suppression.

There are many other ways, but the above are the most common. Focus on being able to take the biggest monster hit rather than having high block/evasion and leaving things to chance. If a big hit broke through your 95% block chance, you'll simply RIP. "Recover life on block" won't save you.

And in the build above, Progenesis and "Attacking Projectiles Return" runesmithing enchantment are expensive but the build is still very tanky and does more than 30 million DPS without them.

For "Jack, the Axe" builds in general without using Forbidden Flame/Flesh jewels, you can see the list here:
https://poe.ninja/builds/settlers?items=Jack,+the+Axe,!Forbidden+Flame&sort=dps

DPS can be good and they are mostly tanky but I won't say immortal.

For more tanky and less DPS builds, you can switch the league to "Hardcore Settlers" and search again.
