Best Loadout, for me, is Better Devils as Kinetic, Manannan SR4 as Energy, Merciless as Power Weapon.
Better Devils and Manannan do very good damage against any enemy due to the Explosive Rounds Perk. It is vital to eliminate any regular enemy fast, so you can concentrate better on the Bather. For that one, use Pulse Grenades if available, or any other Area-of-Effect or Stick Grenade. Any Class other than the Hunter Gunslinger has one of these (for Gunslinger, use Swarm Grenades). After you throw your Grenade, usually right when the Bather appears, you unload your Merciless on him.
For DPS phase, Merciless also is great. Celestial Nighthawk Golden Gun is great for a single Censer, Hammer of Sol with Molten Shards (Top Tree) or Nova Bomb are the best choices. Tether usually is very useful as well, a single Tether in the center can hold off the enemies and makes it easier for the person who clears them.
You have to remember, Prestige isn't about trying some gear. Prestige is about already having the best gear and putting it to maximum effect. Which can be annoying sometimes.

Cheers for the feedback! Normally run Nightstalker so vortex grenade for me. Better devils + Manannan are generally my go to weapons because there fun to play with but, I tend to run out of power by the second or third bather I come across so I started to look at closer ranged options for taking out the bather...

Another Close Range option would be Hawthorne's Field-Forged Shotgun, or Zenith of Your Kind (Raid Shotgun from the Eater of Worlds Raid Lair). Cluster Bomb Rocket Launchers work as well, but can be dangerous. Telesto and The Prospector are okay too, but that's already going to the weapons which are only "okay and not "perfect".

Not tried a shotgun yet, will do next time I have a go. I presume saint 14 would have a similar effect?

I assume so, yes. Perfect Paradox is a good substitute for Hawthorne's.
