I am a monk healer by nature. After getting my butt handed to me by my mirror multiple times I changed tactics and used all my refund point turning into a smiter. Well I still got my butt handed to me! (Probably had more to do with the fact that I was still wearing the armor I bought immediately post searing) but anyway I dont want that to happen again, so I have upgraded my armor and will try this method: (5 skills retrib, boon, breeze, Bal spirit, and Bane signet). One question though: my secondary class is necro, would it be beneficial to place 3 health sacrificing necro skills ie touch of agony(-10%), order of pain (-17%), dark fury (-17%), blood ritual (-17%) which really wont benefit the mirror very much but may drop his health bar in a hurry?

Beat my mirror last night (or early this morning) when I got home from work! I read alot of tips from guildwars guru and some guildmates gave me some great advice. Problem was, that none of them exactly fit my character. I was missing a skill here and a piece of equipment there. But I adapted what was available and finnaly put some of those secondary skills to use. I rarely have use for any of the necro spells as I spend my whole time healing folks so I placed 4 blood magic spells in the first 4 slots of my skills belt: touch of agony (-10% life) Order of pain (-17% life) Dark Fury (-17% life) and Blood Ritual (-17% life) then brought in Retribution (returns 33% damage kinda like thorns but works on ranged weapons) Divine Boon (adds alot of instant health to my healing Breeze) Healing breeze (10 seconds of regeneration) and Bane Signet ( A smite spell). I stayed in the ranged area so that the necro spells my mirror was using wouldn't effect me and just sat there recharging my smite and healing myself. Before I could even reload my Bane Signet my mirror was half dead LOL I dont know what of the blood skills he utilized but watching his life bar tank with my toon just sitting there was a real laugh. I used Bane Signet maybe 3 times and healing breeze 4 times. Essentially my mirror killed himself.

Dazzler · Jun 17, 2005, 01:39 AM // 01:39

Yeah the mirror is funny.

As a Fire Ele/Me, I filled the first 4 skill slots with crap:
1st A mesmer spell to raise his physical resist but lower his elemental resist.
2nd Water Attunement LOL
3rd Earth Attunement HAHA
4th Air Attunement <g>

5-8 were firestorm, meteor shower, fireball and phoenix.

The mirrior died sometime in the first 10 secs while finishing up his 3rd attunement and starting on firestorm. hahaha

Another endorsement for Maegi's method! Thanx.

Ronin_Tms · Jun 17, 2005, 01:49 AM // 01:49

Last time I did this as monk (a week ago) I didn't feel like thinking up a strat. So I just exploited healing breeze. Unequip all, only take healing breeze and fight. For some odd reason the mirror doesn't use healing breeze so you can heal while he can't. Not fast, but it works guaranteed (until Anet fixes it).

myzr · Jun 17, 2005, 01:51 AM // 01:51

thanks a million for the help. haven't killed him yet, but he's pretty much down to 90%, but then I die.

edit: just beat it.

Strong Fist · Jul 19, 2005, 02:09 PM // 14:09

Ok I am level 14, and attempting this and I usually get him to 1/2 to 1/4 health. In about 4 attempts. But he does so much damage to me, around 40-60, that its still impossible to kill him.

shrevid · Jul 24, 2005, 06:22 PM // 18:22

Awesome. Passed it first go. Cheers, Maegi.

jesh · Jul 30, 2005, 05:50 AM // 05:50

Tried this differently for my mo/n. I equipped 7 enchant skills, Divine Boon being one of them. 8th skill was desecrate enchantments. Use Boon to heal yourself, he doesn't. Whack with your wand and desecrate as soon as it recharges. 7 enchants means 49+7(17)= 168 hp per cast. Sure he has the same skill, but you should only have Divine Boon on. Plus your Boon should keep you alive. Yeah. I got the bonus.

zeero · Aug 03, 2005, 02:34 AM // 02:34

i followed exactly what maegi said in the original post, very nice!

skaterman · Aug 04, 2005, 04:26 AM // 04:26

i am a lvl 17monk/ranger and the mirror uses a bow and hits like 30-70 each time. can u help me plz?(healing breeze cant keep up with the big hits he does on me)

AncientPC · Oct 30, 2005, 11:35 PM // 23:35

I just went 55 monk and beat my mirror easily, but then again it's a much more expensive method.

kratic · Oct 30, 2005, 11:39 PM // 23:39

i have ranger as my secondary to my primary monk, so easy to beat him when you only equip spirits and health degen like poision then put on the fire area damage (or kindled arrow, idk which one works better).

The Purified · Nov 09, 2005, 09:03 PM // 21:03
