Hit a wall and could use some help

So i havent looked up the internet until now and played PoE 2 completely for myself and i was just trying to figure stuff out myself

as the title says i hit a hard wall now and im kind of clueless what to do.

i play a mercenary and i focused on armor break and physical dmg

my stats are:

1404 HP 114 Strength
59 Energy Shield 150 Dexterity
7130 Armor 47 Intelligence
6083 Evasion

72 % Fire resistancce
59% Cold resistance
47% Lightning Resistance
10% Chaos Resistance

High Velocity Rounds is my Main DMG skill and has a DPS of 5.707.
Fragmentation Rounds does 1.337 DPS and has the ability to Consume Armor Break to clear packs better

My game plan so far was simple i Broke armor with Flash Grenades against packs and Gas Grenades against rares and Unique bosses.

id say the DMG is fine but still im running out of maps and i keep dying.


looking for any tips tricks and help to get me to beat the end game :D
