I'm having a damn tough time of it against my mirror self as a Mo/El. I've tried several different specs and haven't yet got something to work. Does anyone have any tips?

I did it last night -- the first time was a wipeout. I took in all my -1 energy regen buffs, with long cast times, hoping that the mirror would cast them and leave me alone. That didn't work, as the mirror buffed the snot out of itself, then wailed me with an axe. The second trip in I took - Healing Breeze, Balthazar's Spirit, Bane Signit, Divine Boon, and Heal AREA. The heal area was just hoping that if the mirror wanted to heal, it would choose that and at least heal me too.

I went in, the mirror had a bow (thankfully). I cast Balthazar and Boon on myself, then jammed Bane Signit everytime it refreshed. I used Healing breeze once, and just kept healing myself w/Divine boon. The fight lasted less than 2 minutes, and wasn't a close call at all.

My stats - 13 Healing Magic, 10 Divine, and I was using a crap wand that hit for 5-10. Just choose your skills carefully, and keep trying. It really depends on what weapon the mirror comes in with.

I'd throw down a ward and then go with the spirit/boon combo to get through it. I hacked through almost the same way as the above poster but I didn't use bane signet when I had it on he just pumped me with it and I couldn't get anywhere using it.

EDIT: Oh and the mirror should have a bow unless you move into melee range then it pulls out the axe and comes after you. Your pick on which you want to try to get him to use as the axe was hitting me for 100s

the bow hitting for 50s was much more palpable. I had a staff that did 5-8 and just kept hacking at him and healing myself until he died.
