Discouraged after Failing Fight Caves
Failed my 6th attempt at the Fight Caves. This time I failed to correctly tag one of the healers before making my conga line around Italy rock, causing Jad to heal to full. I can easily get through the entirety of the gauntlet only using half of my supplies. However it also takes me ~2.5 hours each attempt to get to Jad, pretty much taking an entire play session.
The worst part is that I know the only thing holding me back is my own massive, hulking, throbbing skill issue. I know I have more than enough supplies to get through the entire fight. I've watched/read every single guide, configured the RuneLite plugins, highlighted and color-coded every single mob. I've even started going to the speedrunning worlds to practice, which has better gear than I have, but I still can't get past the healers.
Part of me is also doubting how much content I can even do in the future if I'm struggling with a boss that I'm sure most reading this consider easy. How can I do a raid when I can't even get past the initial hump? The only PVM accolade I really have is managing to accidentally get Perfect Scurrius, but that was after ~50-60 kills. Do I need to do 50-60 Jad attempts to get it right?

I was considering bringing some rune thrownaxes to use the ricochet special attack to aggro the healers. Has anyone had any experience with that?
Edit: Thank you all for the encouragement and advice. :) I'm gonna take a break from fight caves atm so I can untilt. I'm going to go get some ranging pots, crystal bow/shield, and a slayer task. Also gonna start a regimen of 30 mins of Jad practice a day until I can kill him comfortably.
