Looking for explosion, or chain or explosion chain build for maining Blight Ravaged maps

Hello, I have been half-casually POE for the past years and Blight is the one content I am having fun playing.

My one successful build was an Icicle Miner Assassin Farrul/Brotherhood with charge stacking which was not good enough for Ravaged versions but the normal ones were good enough.

I reached almost a mirror worth of currency and only stopped because of irl.

I am looking for a new build (not mines) that focuses on chain explosions or chain effects, such as Arc, Profane Bloom, Asenath's or Gladiator bleedsplosions. Minion builds are really unattractive to me despite their afk potential. Bows or wands are totally acceptable. I don't know how to feel about totems. Brands are boring and uncontrollable.

I have researched Pathfinder / Deadeye with Scourge Arrow (Darkscorn?) to be a good direction, but I am attracted by Occultist + Profane Bloom. Caustic Arrow might be a good substitute as well.

I am also attracted by the concept of Bleed + Corrupting Fever + Exsanguinate stacking of physical dots and Gladiator. I can't figure out the delivery method yet. Traps might be interesting, but they don't apply bleed. Tornado shot or wand/spellslinger might be something.

I saw that recently we got fire explosion in Fire Mastery so Chieftain SOMETHING might be something.

Just be sure you understand, I don't intend to afk near the pump. I am ok with running around and targeting a threatening pack of mobs. I plan to take Meteor Towers and Ice to slow and stun the bosses.

I would greatly appreciate some leads to research, right now I only have POE Ninja for help but the metas really drown out experimentation and I can't afford the time to reach a dead end, and it would depress me to try and fail.

Thank you!

I got inspired by profane bloom and wanted to make chain explosion build too.
I dont think minions are necessary i dont really like them much myself either.
This guy uses herald of ash with profane bloom with hex support to make sweet explosions; https://youtu.be/k85a7R7cjjA
Since got inspired so much about profane bloom i stole name for my new char;
Profanity_Boom :D

If you have that much currency your options are wide open and I envy you lol.
You could try Death's Oath Occultist.
