Alas, from looking around the forums, i have found many for general suggestions as to how to beat him/her, but i still seem to be at a dead end. i happen to be a monk/necro who is only a healer, 13 in heal 10 in divine favor... ive tried countless variations of my skill bar to win, but alas, she does to much damage so i NEED a heal spell, and when she uses it its godly for her.. ive tried a zealots fire/constant heals and even droped my divine favor for smiting, but she uses it back and does 76 damage with it... i have alot of the skills for both professions, so i was wondering if anyone had specific suggestions for my skill bar..

ps im using a staff customized for me 10-16 dmg with +9 energy... and im thinking i might have to get more salavge to get better armor, im currently wearing 30 armor (the tattoos)

thanks for the help

Change your points around, don't take a healing spell. Try the smite line.

Bring two skills, and put 0 in healing, and max smite and divine. Go with balth aura and divine boon. The mirror will use both right away, and never again. Go stand next to him, use divine boon to heal yourself (since its an enchant, the mirror wont use it after he does once), and balth aura when you have the energy, simply stand there and wand him. Oh, and do yourself a favor and get full amnoon armor if you dont.

Here take the easy way. Load up on a ton of sacrifice skills from your necro profession. Put most of your attribute points into it and then take 1 attack skill that you can spam at it. It will use the skills and sacrifice health while you attack it.

you could also try taking the skills mentioned but take some kind of close combat weapon...use something your profession wouldn't normally use.

If you use a set of skills that requires a certain method of usage in order to be effective, your mirror self is not likely to use them right and will be less effective.
On my elementalist, I use a lot of enchantments and then use Ether Renewal to get tons of health and energy because of the large number of enchantments. My mirror self used ether renewal, but never botherred to use all of the enchantments at once and was not as good with ether renewal as I was. Instead, my mirror self just kept spamming stone daggers and healing small amounts from it, while I was spamming stone daggers and healing HUGE amounts from it because of aura of restoration and ether renewal.
The moral - Your mirror has just as much actual power as you do, and nothing you do will change that. However, you mirror lacks a brain... use a build that requires strategy and he won't know what to do with it.
