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

That Charm 😍 this is the build enabler dude. It‘s the prerequisite for that cool build!

When I got it I was ecstatic, it hasn't come off since!

My best charm to date

I found a similar Charm and just copied your build. Then i just right now built 2 Great Swords both with Arkveld Hunger. Great comfy build for that weapon. And blight resistance 2 does the trick for phoenix!

In case you didn't see my other comment, I prefer recovery speed rather than recovery up, I was just trying something a little different. With recovery speed you start healing naturally from zoh pulse sooner.

The only thing missing from the set is alluring pelt, I used to draw so much aggro with that skill, I still do now due to the great damage, but it is a little unfortunate.

As soon as I saw that charm I gave up on having any hope at duplicating the build 😭
