I've lost about 15 times in a row now, and I just can't handle the final battle. I have no healing skills equipped, but he hits me so hard and fast, and virtually all his skills are insta cast so I'm nuked to death before I Can even try.

I used traps and would kite him through the traps

yeah I Did the same thing and it worked.

Just take lots of rituals/traps, and he goes off casting them all while you are free to kick his but ^^ let us know how you get through.

I was a R/Mo19 and i did that tactic and killed him with ease.

your mirror self can not use healing brezze so you can attack him while he is useing rituals and when he attacks you, you can cas thealing brezze and heal yourself...........thats what i did

I equiped 8 nature rituals, and refunded a bunch of my points into marksmenship, then killed him with a bow while he did 8 nature rituals. All the while he was buffing me too.

Depending on your skill choice the mirror can be really tough. I was there with an elementalist/necramancer. It killed me in 10 seconds with meteor and immolate since it seemed to cast the spells faster than me

Then i tried without any attack skills, result : he used some really nasty bow and axe to take me down in melee

Now the trick is : bring a set of useless skills (linked to attribute with no points or spells that won't harm you) or skills that let the mirror gimp itself. Then take some skills that you can exploit somehow because the A.I. won't manage to use them properly in the situation you're planning.

What i did :
- i took some necro spells that made him sacrifce health but didn't hurt me much
- i used insiduous parasite on it so i gain health while it me with the bow or axe
- i used chiblains to poison myself and plague touch to transfer the condition to the mirror
- then i used a spell with + running speed and ran away until he died

I play a Monk/Elementalist, and I beat my mirror the 2nd time by using Reversal of Fortune and Ice Spear. It took about 2-3 minutes to whittle him down, but it wasn't terribly difficult. You just have to watch for when he casts Reversal, and make sure you hit him with your weak hitting wand/staff, then cast your DD.

You could do the same thing just with a couple Smite skills, like Banish and Bane Signet. And Symbol of Wrath maybe.

I didn't realize the mirror wouldn't/couldn't use Healing Breeze... that is certainly a better tactic than equipping Reversal of Fortune if it's true. If not, I'd stick with Reversal of Fortune. The Mirror will hit you hard every attack... you'll have a weak attack that you can use (wand/staff) whenever you see him cast RoF.

The mirror also doesn't seem to match your attribute point distribution. I equipped some Fire skills where I had no points invested, and he was hitting me as if I had 12 Fire. Also, he doesn't seem to get the passive benefit of your primary attribute, as he wasn't gaining ~38 health every time he cast Reversal of Fortune. Just make sure you don't equip Divine Boon... my first fight with my mirror would've been indefinite if I hadn't just let him kill me, because he was getting a 61 point self heal every time he cast RoF.

I'm a R/Mo (about the same) ... I unequipped all skills except healing breeze and equipped a second weapon set (sword and shield).

I started the battle with the sword and shield so the mirror image would do as well. Then I switched to weapon set one being the bow.

He never switched back to bow and only took like 3-5 damage everytime he hit me. I used healing breeze to counter this. Keep in mind whatever skills you have the mirror has as well. If you don't have any then he doesn't.

Hope this helps.

For a monk retribution + healing breeze = easy win

Don't be afraid to cast healing breeze on yourself for just the divine favor bonus...

I actually made a movie of it, I just need to find a good host...
