its not easy always best have on mastery soldier.....

use leap on dyads blessing in devotion and put more points in leap it make good damage when you jump ;)
vid is privated Lars, can't see anything
GT says you don't have all res maxed? 76% armour absorb, low health, low RR, - no chonky tier2 or t3 devos
Low attack speed (wolf scales speed/don't use gloves without speed), - low mastery bar resulting in low health too, lacking augments

Now you can see it https://youtu.be/7hbaU7X369M
you're fighting voldrak, it's normal 😅
he has wysiwyg item; his weapon. If it rolled with physical dmg bonus he can hurt a lot more, which is noticeable with low armour/health or layered mitigation.
Basically he has rng dmg potential from spawn to spawn

With all my buffs it's 80% res on all except physical which is 37%.
I know attack speed is low i'm holding out to 94 for a new weapon with 38%
What devotions would you recommend?
How do i fix health? without compromising all other stats drops so far are terrible for me.
I know i'm doing something wrong but I just cant figure it out cause there is no way to tell whats killing me most of the time.

Hes not the only one tho, most bosses so far one taps me randomly, this dude just annoyed me so much
i'm not surprised by that given your GT stats/as per comment earlier
But Voldrak slapping is "extra" normal because phys dmg boss with phys dmg variable/rng weapon bonus dmg potential

You need to get max res, slot augments, get armour absorb up with a scaled hide in legs/shoulder (if you don't wanna use expensive aom comps before end), refarm the Murder shoulders they are low level and give you no meaningful stats on their affixes (mystic = spirit, spines = pierce%)
You can either craft a +1 class belt at lvl 90 or farm one, - either way letting you "cherrypick" an affix by refarm or recraft
* Rings are easily replaceable with MIs too, which can be used for base stat boosts(MIs come with guarnateed min stats), +skill bonus boost, or what you feel like
* You are missing comps in your belt and rings, missing augs on minimum jewellery/weapons if not armours too if you're Revered any place; there is 0 reason to not have all res maxed or overcapped on Ult (- while still letting you shuffle comps for armour absorb)
* You have so many lower tier devos you're missing out on a bunch of stats from tier2 and t3
* No flat RR anywhere that i can spot, you don't have bonechilling cry for pierce/bleed RR either in zerker.
* No Scales/Harp/Nadaan/Soldier/Azrakaa - but you're taking berserker which gives you 0 stats because you don't have an axe or spear, + lots of tier1 with affinity that goes unused. - you're leaning into regen which isnt' bad but no giant's blood proc.

as for some skill point tweak, you don't have to overcap everything you skill. You can easily take a few points out of Veil or even Shadow dance and compensate with ex Amatok for DA+armour. Getting mastery bar up to 25-32 is gonna give you like 500 more hp before outside bonus stacking via comps/augs/items or devos
And there is 0 reason to not atleast 1pt form of the beast when you have that many free boosters 😅- same with dual blades, it's free armour for 1pt even if you don't breakpoint it
Silent Assasins just sucks. When I tried to switch to it from my items (not the current ones, it was ebfore I got a few upgrades) my DPS dropped by almost half and I had way worse survivability as well.

Here is my current build although it is slightly higher level. I'm not an expert though, I just figured it out as I went.

I think the biggest survival boost for me was maxing out armor absorption via the Ugdenbog augments on armor. Also getting the Assasin's Evasion helps a lot to debuff the enemy while also easly jumping away from them. Especially good when I get suddenly sundered.
The Berserker Devotion doesn't work with your weapons. You need an Axe or a spear.

I use them exactly because they are simple to farm - even though the skills and modifiers are useless for me.
You can get them from the hive near Homestead.
I usually got 4-8 of them in one run, then chose the best one. Until I managed to tweak the suffix or affix with the inventor rerolling.

I'm afraid to tell you that even with much better equip it won't really get better. Zerker + Nightblade is like a glass cannon and probably always will be. Sadly there isn't even a real set for piercing / blood in the late game. My own Reaver has reached level 100 by now and is reasonably well-equipped (due to farming with my Warlord), yet it is still significantly more squishy than, say, a DW lightning Trickster.

As long as you don't plan on farming super-bosses or venturing deep into the Shattered Realm, you shouldn't have bigger problems.
