I've been having the opposite problem! For the Destroyer, I used the following gear and set-up: Full set of adamantine armor with melee helmet godly Dao of Pow Band of regeneration (+4 def) Cross necklace (+3 def) Spectre Boots (+4 def) Philosopher's Stone (+4 def) Cobalt Shield (+4 def) Potions of Regeneration and Ironskin.

I built a small arena with a damaging floor (I used meteorite, but hellstone works fine too). The 1 damage from standing on the floor triggers the cross necklace, leaving you invulnerable to much of the bosses attacks. Besides the cross necklace trick, my defense was 73 after drinking the ironskin potion.

I shot the Dao of Pow out and held the mouse button to get it to a stop, and simply dragged it back and forth to rest over the spot that the Destroyer was passing through. My defense was high enough that I never had to drink a healing potion, and my HP never dropped below 350.
