Ive ascended with 3, and i think the easiest was my ranger..I simply used my eternal bow and ran up to her (so she would get out her chaos axe) and i did much more damage with the bow, I also took off all of my skills.

My necromancer was a pain in the ---. took off all skills but my weapon did the same amount of damage as hers, always got down to us each having 2-3 health and somehow i died, on about the 4th try i actually won when it got to that point.

Warrior was similar to ranger - used a vampiric summit hammer of hamery mastery that droped for me once, and ran up to her and was doing more damage then her axe...i belive i also had some type of healing spell with me beacuse of the -1 health regen, cant remember though.

Its a lot easier then some people make it i think, Just have to think of good ideas, i think its best to not have any skills.

I've Ascended 4 characters, and I think my favorite by far was my Monk. This was before the AoE update, so I just smited my dopple to death. It probably took about 15 seconds with Balthazar's, Zealots, Symbol of Wrath, Bane Signet, and random single damage smite skills.

Reminiscing, I realize how dumb the AI was to just stand there while I passed judgement on him.

An FYI and then the story.

FYI for all you monks - your double will only use Healing Breeze to counter degen (conjure phantasm, life transfer, etc) and not for normal healing. So if you're just direct-damaging him, you can bring breeze safely.

Now, for the funny story. When I ascended my Monk, I experimented with several different builds ... well, after getting killed about 10 times, I looked through some forums and such, and went back in well informed.

I end the cutscene, and quickly target him to see what he's doing ... nothing. Not casting anything, not attacking, just standing there. I figure "allright, he's glitched!" so I wand him a few times just to make sure he's not moving. Nothing. I go stand right in front of him and do a few silly emotes, nothing. I type to myself (hold your comments, people!

) "man, this is too easy, maybe he's sleeping?" and apparently "sleeping" is the magic word that makes your doppleganger wake up and start beating the crap out of you with an axe, because that's just what he did. I was fumbling about to utilize the build I had learned, and he killed me pretty quick. If only i'd kept my mouth shut and just wanded him to death like any normal, intelligent person would have

I ended up beating him a few rounds later.

Thats hillarious...I probley would have done the emote thing just to take some screen shots and show everyone but i doubt i would have said anything lol!

Haha, for my ranger I got all spirits and a few shots(it was my first char, 4th try) and doppelganger was lagged, so I kicked his butt bigtime in 20 seconds. I just got my monk ascended, with 3 skills. Symbol of wrath, retribution, and healing breeze. Whooped him in 40 seconds.(he kept on running away when I used symbol of wrath)

HawkofStorms · Jan 11, 2006, 06:23 PM // 18:23

LOL, that's pretty good.
I used an E/Me. First I cast Arcane Conundrum on him so he could not get backfire on me before I could get it on him. Backfire + Entrophy and run around. I actually used a shield for an armor boost. Ironically, the last arrow he shot killed him via entrophy, but that same arrow killed me. I fell to the ground dead but was immidiately ressed and made it to dragon's lair.

UrikoBB3 · Jan 11, 2006, 06:26 PM // 18:26

Fought it with my Blood N/Me.

Doppleganger used Awaken the Blood, followed by Order of the Vampire. Basically, the whole build I had focused on sacrificial spells. He kept sacrificing health until his health bar was really, really low, then stopped.

After that, he started shooting me with his bow constantly, and wore me down to around 1/4 Health. Starting to get worried, I ran around, hoping for the best.

It took around another 20 seconds, but eventually, he used Order of the Vampire again, and killed himself :P

Wasn't funny when he just stopped spamming sacrificial spells when he was so close to death ><

Uzul · Jan 11, 2006, 06:36 PM // 18:36

1st time with the ele i casted my beloved maelstrom and then just chained in the rest of my spells while he got all spells interupted.

(his bow whacked me good when swirling aura wore off, but i was quicker.)

2nd time with the monk i smited him to death.

3rd time on the ranger i let him set spirits... and smited him to death.

4th time on the warrior i just beat the crap out of him.

5th time on the necro i watched him sacrifice himself to death.

curious how my mesmer will kill him - guess domination will do it (and physical resistance for myself) - and i will definately try to smite him again X_X

Tongloid Tarthwood · Jan 11, 2006, 06:37 PM // 18:37

I did it with my e/me. I just took mantras of everything-except fire which was the only damage I was doing. Shot meteor storm, fireball, ran up close and did phoenix, then inferno and then said Nuked! when he was dead as I had prepared. Funniest screenshot I ever got...

Cherno · Jan 11, 2006, 07:01 PM // 19:01

I have only ascended two characters so far. First my ele, I just went in with my normal fire build. He tried doing meteor storm and/or firestorm first, so I was just immolating and flare spamming him. He died very very quickly.

My blood necro build died twice. So I just loaded him up with sacrificial skills and wells. I think I kept just dark pact and vampiric gaze and maybe shadow strike to get him and killed him within bonus time then.

I had a mesmer just about ready to ascend when I deleted him.

My next will be my ranger. I plan on just taking spirits and bow-whacking him.

I would like to be able to kill him fast using normal builds and hate having to switch to a build just to kill him, but sometimes you just have to do it.

Very easy ele build is to have just flare, meteor storm and maybe aura of restoration on and no other skills. Because of the long cast time of storm you can get most hits on him quickly enough and when it does go, just strafe quickly. He shouldn't even last that long though.

Silent · Jan 11, 2006, 09:22 PM // 21:22

After all the build up to it I went in a little scared then he cast firestorm on me so I side-stepped it and just proceeded to nuke him, it was over in around 10 seconds.

mikysee · Jan 11, 2006, 10:40 PM // 22:40

This isnt that funny, but when I fought it with my N/Mo, I used SS on it and when it killed me, it died too and they let me ascend.

Cranky · Jan 11, 2006, 10:44 PM // 22:44

Beat the Monk doppleganger when I was level 8 using RoF and Retribution. Took a while, but it was easy.

Two April Mornings · Jan 11, 2006, 10:50 PM // 22:50

my mesmer/necromancer, had backfire and all necro sac. spells - hit him with backfire real quick, he died in less than a second

theclam · Jan 11, 2006, 11:21 PM // 23:21

I beat it with my Monk ages ago. I think it took about 10 seconds. Bane Signet, Banish, Holy Strike, Balthazar's Aura, and Symbol of Wrath. I actually died before he did, but I still won, since Symbol of Wrath killed him instantly after I went down.

Tsunami Rain · Jan 12, 2006, 01:48 AM // 01:48

my healing monk went in with all smiting skills (which i must add i only had 4 of them..) and won with 1 hp.

Carinae · Jan 12, 2006, 03:19 AM // 03:19

I beat him in about 10 seconds, with only 2 skills:

Awaken the Blood
Verata's Sacrifice

I just stood there and watched...

chilln_1ce · Jan 12, 2006, 03:48 AM // 03:48

I guess since you are essentially the same character, a lot of people like me end up just dying or nearly dying to your image.

acidic artist · Jan 13, 2006, 03:31 AM // 03:31

i beat my mesmer mirror in less than 5 seconds. too easy
