I was doing great until the last zone and all of the sudden Gargoyles take many shots to kill.

Then I entered the A1 manor and everything was taking 4-6 + shots to kill.

The most damaging skill on me is permafrost bolts.
POE 2 is a twin-stick shooter.
POE 1 endgame and item crafting alleviated a lot of D2 issues.
D2 farming is still GOATED and probably the most zen experience out there.

I think its because the gargoyles are armored so they have tons of damage mitigation.
Permafrost bolts is not a DPS ability. Neither is ice shards. You use them to freeze enemies and then you shatter them with fragmentation rounds.

This. I just turned level 42, with level 10 Permafrost/Fragmentation bolts and no Support gems.

Cold damage is pretty lackluster. It's mainly for freezing enemies and shattering them.

Glacial Bolt makes it a lot easier when you have access to it.
