i assume from your listed skills that your a monk or a warrior? in that case, i've done it with a monk, anyways switch to a few smiting skills, heal touch, scorege healing if you have it, and then first cast scrouge healling on him, and then your smite skills, and then wanding, smiting and healing till he dies.

i've never done it as a warrior, so i can only guess, i'd say take frenzy, but don't use it, its for the dopple to use, bring some attack skills, and once he goes into frenzy, unleash them all on him, the double damage he'll take should be very helpful

For warrior, only bring frenzy and healing signet. He'll use them both at the same time and go down in 10 seconds. That's what happend to me last time I killed him at least.

Retribution and healing breeze works as well. Toss in Frenzy for him to use, not you.

The doppleganger seems to only use healing breeze if he suffers from degen, thus you can safely use it as a heal.

RotteN · Jan 25, 2007, 03:54 PM // 15:54

as a warrior your doppel is ridiculously easy, just bash away at him and kill him, i didn't even do anything special buildwise to ascent my warrior... of course, adding frenzy to the bar for him to use will ease it all

When I have a monk primary or secondary, I'll bring along Life Attunement, it buys some time to kill the doppel. (The time it takes it to cast, and also reduces its damage output.)

MeanMartin · Jan 25, 2007, 04:14 PM // 16:14

or take ordinary skills that u use in PvE thats what i did

yeah_hi · Jan 25, 2007, 04:43 PM // 16:43

If monk primary or secondary, I usually take a load of useless enchantments (Blessed Aura, Divine Boon, Life Attunement etc)... by the time the doppel has finished casting them, I've pretty much wasted it.

mf2 · Jan 25, 2007, 05:29 PM // 17:29

something i tried that worked pretty well is just load up your skill bar with signets of capture or leave them blank, except 2-3 skills. It works best if you have an interrupt and a slow casting spell that inflicts damage. If ur a Mo i dont know if this helps at all, but if you have a 2nd profession, find an interrupt skill from that.

Basically what i did was when the battle started, since i only had 3 skills a damage, an dummy enchant(hex works ok too) and interrupt, i would just attack, and wait for the dopple to use that damage spell (i recommend at least a 2 sec cast time, especially if ur not experienced with interrupts), interrupt it, then cast the lame enchant/hex to draw the dopple's interrupt. since the dopp's damage spell is recharging and they cant interrupt, then you blast him/her with the damage spell. since neither of us have any healing (no such skills equipped), the battle takes care of itself at that point.

Crom The Pale · Jan 25, 2007, 05:41 PM // 17:41

Best method ive always used it so equipd some spells that are slow casting but do relatively nothing. Ranger spirits are great for this.

For a monk there are some enchantments that do nothing that can cost him time and energy

Then you just need to attack as soon as the fight stops and never stop.
He'll die very fast.

note: a max customized weapon from a collector with dmg 15% while over 15hp is a great help too

frenzy
gash
sever artery
final thrust
none
none
none
none

why, u say? because of these reasons:

frenzy: he will take double damage

gash+sever artery: because as long as u have them in that order, he will use gash first, then sever artery

final thrust: he doesnt know when to use it, he will just use it when ur full or near full hp, u can use this to finish him off, iw will deplete all his dren..

You should check the stickies. It has answers to many common questions including How do I beat the Doppleganger?

Nickhimself · Jan 26, 2007, 04:12 AM // 04:12

umm...

only bring frenzy.

Haggard · Jan 26, 2007, 07:32 AM // 07:32

Think I got the doppel in 6 seconds with my standard warrior PvE build.

MegaMouse · Jan 26, 2007, 02:29 PM // 14:29

I took down my dopple fairly easy with all professions. One of my favorites was using my Ranger. I loaded up with beastmaster skills and took my pet and then let him do the work. It took about 30or so seconds but worked as the dopple will concentrate on the pet not you.
