How to kill Doppelganger - Guide to all classes - Page 16 - Guild Wars Forums

To beat him with a rit you need on skill on your bar: Vengeful Weapon. Just keep spamming it, dead doppleganger quick.

Addone_Abaddon · Aug 22, 2006, 01:21 PM // 13:21

too 3 tries for me, on the third, I realised that I shouldn't take healing signet (I have a warrior) and killed him in 6 seconds.

FudgeMutator · Aug 26, 2006, 07:18 PM // 19:18

Elementalist is easy. Bring aura of restoration, ice spear and meteor shower. Nothing else. Put AoR on before you go in, and put all points on energy storage/water magic (none on fire). Just spam ice spear while he's wasting time on meteor shower. Just move when he's done casting it and continue spamming, you should be way up. If you have secondary ranger, bring spirits, he actually wastes time casting them.

f2k.lexx · Nov 26, 2006, 11:01 PM // 23:01

for people coming from factions it's insanely easy if they got a necromancer (primary or secondary): you don't need armor, you don't need a weapon, you don't even need to be sitting in front of your screen...

Dark Aura, Dark Fury, Cultist's Fervor, Awaken the Blood.

If you're lucky, he will die within 3 and 3/4 seconds, if not he will attack you once and then decide to die. It just depends on the order he uses his skills.

When I first fought the double guy(back in the day before i knew to bring sacrifices) I killed the doppelganger in less then 15 secs and thats a moderate time. all I used was a Blood spike build heres how i did it...before you step on the last stone cast Awaken the blood then step on it and the movie will start. After the movie you will still have AtB on you start casting Shadow Strike andVamp Gave and any other quick damge moves. This is how i killed him and it was on my first try before i even knew he copied me(yeah i was a noob). This is was to get the bonus really fast. the only thing is make sure you DO NOT have any Sup runes on you because you need alot of health because he is doing the came thing just slower.

Some one said pets won't work at the begining of the thread, but I heard from my guildies that you should bring all pet skills, cus the dopple don't have a pet.

Kumlekar · Dec 15, 2006, 03:47 AM // 03:47

elementist - Two words: Iron Mist

Don't use the spell, and make sure there is no lighting damage on your bar. then bring a spammable skill along and nothing else. (a note, I did this r/e, not ele primary)

Remember to have 12 in the stat for your attack skill (or at least above 9)

Ha...poor dopple...you are mean (thats a great idea)

Ivan Darklord · Jan 03, 2007, 09:16 PM // 21:16

Any safe 100% success for Monk? cuz Im going for legendary survivor and ascension here is pretty helpful

. btw Im a Mo/Me, but can change that if necessary.

Mogster · Jan 04, 2007, 02:26 PM // 14:26

when i took my rit i took 2 channeling skills to kill him and rest i filled with long casting spirits, took him out quick while he making spirits.

Epinephrine · Jan 04, 2007, 04:23 PM // 16:23

Really? I killed him with my rit using two restoration skills :P
Weapon of Remedy and Vengeful Weapon. Umm, yeah, keep attacking me...

If I had thought of it I could have gone Rt/N and given him touch of Agony and Dark Pact (for example) to kill him even faster.

>>>>RANGERS RANGERS RANGERS<<<<

For all u Rangers out there...u hav the easiest job. The first time i versed doppelganger i got under 10 seconds...to easy (lol..and i was so pumped for an awesum battle). All u need to do is to hav 10 beast mastery (yes...u dont have to hav 12...i used 10) and these 5 skills: Call of Protection, Call of Haste, Feral Lunge, Bestial Pounce, Charm Animal. Optional skills are Comfort Animal. I took those 5, comfort animal, piercing shot and res signet (wt?!) first go, but i realised i over prepared as i killed him with my pet by itself. Check the screenshot. However.....dont try to tank that guys attacks as i tried to (i didnt even fight back) as this may result in u running for your life. If u do it properly u can probably get even better as at the start i ran up to doppelganger and just stood there for 2 or so seconds b4 i realised i hadnt targetted him.

~Flint Archa~
im not very gud with this posting images thing so i dunno if it will work

Ascalon Chariot · Mar 07, 2007, 09:59 PM // 21:59

Any tips on how a Para can beat him?

Priest Of Sin · Mar 08, 2007, 03:15 PM // 15:15

For ele, i've found that Blinding Flash cuts the dopple's damage down significantly. On that note, the best strategy for an ele is to bring alot of long casting spells and 4 short ones, preferably in Air Magic. That way you can spike him out before he spikes you out.

For Assassin, just bring Temple Strike. The dopple seems to have trouble chaining attacks.

Spectral Agony · May 07, 2007, 02:08 AM // 02:08

Just did this easily today 5/6/2007 as a N/Mo. Skill bar:

Insidious Parasite
Healing Breeze
Live Vicariously
Vital Blessing
Divine Boon
Rend Enchantments
Awaken the Blood
Order of the Vampire

Curses was 12 all other atts 0. Put on all three maintained monk enchants before entering and regain energy. Doppel will rend them and lose quite a lot of health. I then just used Parasite w/ Breeze every now and then and he died in 30-40 secs or so. Might want to reapply enchants to kill him faster but I was low on energy from casting Parasite. Still got the bonus.

Signet Of Hell · May 08, 2007, 02:14 PM // 14:14

ALL MO/E's

If you want to pass for Survivor title, the easiest is this:

You bar:
Firestorm, Meteor Shower, Gale, Life Attunement.

Fire 12, Air 5, Prot 11
Cast Meteor Shower straight off, the doppelganger will either cast firestorm, meteor shower or life attunement, and either one he casts he will cast another immediately after the first. After firestorm, if the doppel isn't casting, hit him with Gale to prevent him from moving. Cast again if necessary. Cast Fire Storm and watch him stand in the AoE. After several posts I have seen, he does not move out of AoE, whilst others say he does. He will cast Life Attunement which will lower his damage significantly. DO NOT CAST LIFE ATTUNEMENT on yourself.

I did this with pre-searing armor at level 18 and didn't get past half health. If you are nervous about dieing, take Protective Spirit, the doppelganger won't use it at the right times, so it's gg. Easy as pie.

Nightmare Venom · May 08, 2007, 07:22 PM // 19:22

I took down my Ritualist's Doppleganger, by taking Dissonance along with a number of other spirits, some to attack and others just for him to waste time casting.
I used Dissonance straight away and that kept interuppting him while I was free to continue summoning spirits. He went down pretty quickly once all the spirits were up.

For my ranger, I went as high as I could in both expertise and beast mastery, and took nothing but skills for my pet to attack with. It was the easiest battle I have ever had in the game, because of the fact he couldn't use a single skill I had.

fotovince · May 10, 2007, 06:03 AM // 06:03

warrior: Just use youre ripostes and take frenzy with ya, you own in +- 20 sec.

Naylyn · May 14, 2007, 03:33 PM // 15:33

Mesmer: The guide way works really well, I suggest brining heaps of usless spammable illusion skills to speed up the process.
