Xbox One A good way to defeat Duke Fishron...

Duke Fishron is the only boss I cannot defeat. I get his health down so much, and everytime I'm so close to kill him, I die. I looked up videos and everything, and nothing is helping.
I use a Tactical Shotgun with Chlorophyte Bullets, and I wear the Shroomite Set that does bullet damage. I also use vampire knives for health and lots of potions that help my armor, speed, health, and etc...
It's just not working for me anymore.
Can someone help me out with tips, or anything?
-I'm not doing any melee setups for Duke Fishron.
-I don't have a lot of good Mage weapons or armor.
-I've heard that the Spectre armor set and the Razorpine works great, but I've been doing Frost Moon for days and I've had no luck for that Razorpine. I get to about Wave 10 or 11, and no luck. I also did AFK farming for it, because of the frustration of not getting this weapon, and still no luck. Any tips about that too?
 
All you need to do is the run away while shooting strategy. I'd recommend Flame Wings or better. Just start at the ocean, run away(though, you're going to be flying most of the time), and gun. If you reach a land mark which would be inconvenient to go over, just stop and look for an opportunity to go the other way, back to the ocean. I'm not sure what weapon you'd want to use, since you're not doing melee. I'd suggest something which is fast. You might also want to cheat in a bunch of truffle worms, because the grind is annoying.

With this strategy, I used Flairon and I could kill Duke Fishron without any armor or health potions.

Though, this strategy is not foolproof, and you might still die occasionally.

Thanks for the help. Just this boss is annoying and the last one I haven't killed yet. And plus his loot looks great.
