I have the maxed my characters Thunder Brass Knuckles with Furious,Shelter, and 50^15 and also maxed his Dagger Mastery to 12. I can't raise my efficiency anymore and still am having a hard time doing the Punch-Out Grind in Hard Mode. I am dying way too much and getting up to around 65 energy before I finish the dungeon.

Okay, it's not meant to be easy, but I fail to see what you are asking for? My guess is try drawing the enemies. Let Killroy rush in their and then pull them with a longbow, will help lighten the load.

A seperate set of armor with +10al or whatever depending on your professions could help a little bit. I don't remember if it was supposed to be something like icy or ele strings caused you to do more damage or what though. Also +15% -5 energy would be the best inscription for them if you can get one since you don't need any energy.

My Kilroy keeps dying and then it is just a downhill spiral. I can get to the big room to where a bunch of stonekin continually aggro and attack. They kill my Kilroy and then continually kill me over and over till I get like 65 energy. Is this grind as easy as people make it out to be?

do you have hotkeys assigned for your skills? the way i did it was to hit the hotkey and click on the skill with my mouse when i got knocked out. i was at 85 energy when i beat it and think i was still getting up with about a second left when fighting fronis.

I dont what your doing but i never died as much as that in HM, and i would never let my energy get that high either cos then the risk of losing survivor is too great.

In the corridor you have to run in and out to pull the first few, Kilroy will die like the leeroy he is but just hitting and running and it goes ok.

In the big arena its hard to keep kilroy alive, the best way i found was to run in just ahead of kilroy so the first group attacks you and then kilroy will just add to your attacks without getting hit, if you keep up a steady stream of kills you shouldnt even have to move much and they will keep running up and smacking you while kilroy just hits them with you.
When you are up to the last couple of guys in the circle save up your attacks so you can take out 2 of the boss's guards straight away.

You have to keep killing to stay alive but it worked for me, I never had more than 3 K'Os in my good runs.

and for mods on daggers, i'd definitely use a 15%/-5 I got ya about the pulling. But that guy in the video totally skipped the hard part that I am dying on. I always get overwhelmed by the big room with the constant flow of stonefist. Also, should I be pulling with a Bow, Staff/Wand, or Spear? I can't tell what that guy is using in the video.

I discovered that the hard way, 60/75 energy at 760kexp and the Windows key on my keyboard decided to hit itself (I removed it afterwards. )

But yeah, continuing doing Punch-Out when your energy is high is /fail @ survivor...
