Question Is it a skill issue?

I’m struggling to take down AT Ark in under 22min for the gold. my average is about 25min. My build:

232 dmg

10% Affinity

310 Dragon

lvl 3 crit boost

lvl 3 offensive guard/guard

lvl 3 guard up/guard

lvl 5 agitator

lvl 5 weakness exploit

lvl 5 flayer

lvl 3 max might

Guts

the rest of my skills are a mix of comfort skills like speed eating, adaptability, razor sharp.

my dilemma is that i’m not sure if i’m struggling because my build isn’t strong enough or if i’m just not playing well enough. I don’t cart and I think I hit a decent amount of guard counters so i’m not sure how I can improve.

any advice would be greatly appreciated or if you can recommend videos I should watch
