Unfortunately i cant load your character into PoB :(

it still says private (probably will be possible in a few minutes)

As someone who has played a Meele Berserker SSF (ONly using Items i found with the very same char and no trade allowed) through Act1-10 only dying 4 times overall ;) (1x kitava act5 1x Brine act6 and 2x Kitava Act10)

I can give you general tipps though

1.) Life -> you want ~ 400 Life per act -> in act8 you should have ~ 3200Life
2.) You want allres 75 and chaos ~ 0 after act6
3.) You need some lifeleech node or ascendacy
4.) You need a functional skill setup of 1-2 attack skills that are buffed with 4-link and some defensive stuff that will greatly enhance your survivability (decoy totem , immortal call , enfeeble)

I guess without seeing your character that you

a) have not enough life
b) not enough res
c) no life leech on tree or ascendancy
d) no immortal call setup
e) no curses

Thats what most people get wrong the first time


EDIT :
Now its working
your res according to POB

are around 0%

Thats way too low
It means you are taking 4times the damage you should !

75% res = MOnsters do 25% damage
0% Res = Monsters do 100% Damage = 4 times as much

Resists, right off the bat. Looking a your gear and passive tree, your resists are, by my guess/calcs:

Fire: -2%
Cold: -15%
Lght: 24%
Chaos: -20%

Your physical reduction is probably around 60% I am guessing, but with no shield, you are mitigating all of that incoming physical instead of the incoming amount minus that which got blocked.

I've read somewhere that the game is balanced around 75% resist in Cold, Fire and Lightning, 0-15% Chaos and 500+ HP per act.

If you are having troubles, I recommend revisiting your tank and getting a lot more tanky. You also need to address your "uh oh" ability setup.

Take it from someone who has hardcore mode teach them harsh lessons about undervaluing tank. I play HC almost exclusively, minus practicing boss fights in SC, and have never been past Act 8 because I have continually failed to properly address my lack of tankiness. My growing legion of toons dumped in standard league testifies to my lack of planning.

My current Chieftain is being played/built with that lack of HC success in mind. And while I am capped on elemental resists, my chaos resist is pitiful, my armor and max life need to go up, and I need more block for both melee and spell. MOAR TANK!

Bottom line, you need a lot more tank. Everywhere.

EDIT - and as ADtesterGM noted, life leech. I am missing that on my chieftain and have been trying to figure out how to add it into my setup. Never enough heal/tank.

500 Life per act is Overkill.

I finished Act10 SSF with 3300 Life as Berserker this morning.
Res , Armor and Evasion are far more important than life.

Simple example 1000Hp + 75% allres is worth 4000hp + 0 allres

+ 3800hp should be enough to finish Act1-Act10 SSF Deathless with a Jugg

You can see my profile but i upgraded weapon for 1 alc and Chest for 1 chaos to play maps after i finished campaign

Rest of the gear and Skilltree is SSF from the playthrough
I found act7-Act9 especially easy and had zero deaths in this 3 acts
