A few questions :x
1. Take 15 points in acrobatics, also eat orrian truffle and meat stew (or whatever it’s called, gives might on dodge and more endurance regen)
2. Dodge more, blind, stealth, etc. If it’s all too much for you, take pistol offhand and use the 5 skill
3. If you’re going down quickly, try neither, go knights or soldiers or valk, mix in ruby jewels if going for physical damage, or go carrion for condi damage

I’d say if you’re running d/d get some condition damage and press 3 for the win. The bleeding is just madness. Also caltrops on your utility bar helps greatly. You can easily take on 3-5 enemies and even more if you trait for thievery and get the trait that drops caltrops when you dodge.
That should help you with your soloing problems.
