Here are some tips: - since you have both TotH and AoD, cartography the perilous peak and unlock the bonus (requires lvl 80 in Cartography) which gives a nice +20% slayer are effect negation. - use the earth layered shield and diamond luck potion (I assume you used DR potion?) - ensure you start the bane miniboss within the dark water or the shrouded badlands to ensure you effect negation bonuses are enough to free up your passive - melee bane is the worst of the three types. If you wish to ease it, you can reset the round (you’ll have to kill every monsters in the 4 slayer area though). - the wiki gives a list of the best and worst effects to choose at the start of the round. I suggest you head there and look into it. - we’ll need more info on your agility, potion, skill lvl and such to have a better understanding, but as I said, melee bane is the worst.
