Do you use any skill for movement to close the gap on meph once life tap is cast?
Nope, he's so fast that he'll walk up right within walking distance to you usually. With a successful lure he'll basically be right next to you. If for some weird reason he doesn't come right up to you, just keep luring him further back towards the north houses and you'll eventually get him within melee without having to run up to him. But usually you want to try to get within melee distance of him asap after you've life tapped him with your wand, because when he's ranged is when he casts all his most dangerous stuff. He's an absolute wimp at melee range. But you'll definitely be okay with fade and/or salvation.
Probably what would work perfectly is just walk in with fade + salvation to lure him + life tap on him and then you can just switch to fanaticism and nuke him down, since you don't need fade AND salvation... But having both on for your first Uber clear to be safe and cautious wouldn't be a bad decision. Don't feel bad about using every single + resistance + way to stack yourself up to be a tank on your first clear.
