E/Me....Take phys resistance and something spammable. Your Doppleganger will go down in no time.

Dopple should be put back to his pre-nerf likeness for hard mode. That being he had his choice of your skills.

Stoneflesh Aura, Armor of Earth, Backfire, Empathy, Fill the rest of the bars with Attunements and such. Precast Stoneflesh Aura, Armor of Earth before stepping on third stone. Cast Backfire and Empathy. Stand there and watch him die (recast Backfire and Empathy as needed).

Old dopple is back aye? I think I defeated with pure dmg, but I don't think that'll work this time round?

Flare / Imagined Burden / Backfire / arcane echo / Signet of lesser Energy / Fire attunement / Rez Sig / Water Attunement

Before hitting the last stone to enter the rock Cast signet of lesser energy then Arcane Echo (Step on last stone) Cast Backfire Wait 5 seconds or so and cast backfire again. Wand him to death as he casts on you

Just finished beating the doppel using purely ele skills from prophecies only ironically. Also killed him in a little over a minute. so Hard mode bonus completion too. I got pretty tired of seeing people boast about killing the doppel with mes skills from their secondary profession. Doppel should be pushing people to delve into their own professions skills for a greater understanding.

Your only requirement for my strat is the following equipment: a +3 earth or fire head piece and a weapon that deals ranged fire damage of any sort. The skills you should have if you finished Prophecies.

Skill set is.

Mark of Rodgwort : Stone Daggers : Armor of the Earth : Kinetic Armor : Earth Attunement : [Elite] Elemental Attunement : Glyph of Sacrifice : Iron Mist

Attribute Distribution is:

12 Fire [+3 coming from my Headset]
12 Earth
9 Energy Storage

Strat is:
Before entering, precast: Armor of Earth, Earth Attunement, Elemental Attunement, casting glyph of sacrifice last before stepping on the last stone.

on entering, cast your kinetic armor, then hex with Mark of Rodgwort.

Proceed to do the following after, wand with your fire weapon and cast Stone Daggers to keep Kinetic Armor up. Doppel should just use Stone Daggers purely on you until he burns to death. Recast Armor of Earth at about the 30s mark and he should be dead in about a minute.

[I haven't seen him cast Ironmist on me and I've killed him a few times, whatever, I put that skill into fill an otherwise empty slot so no matter]

Why this build works?
One of the few things the Doppel doesn't mimic is our weapons. In hard mode, the Doppel is lvl 30. He has max attributes in all areas so that His Spells will ALWAYS beat out your spells in damage, protection and healing. So the way to go without backfiring him is a: don't give him any healing b: when giving him a spammable spell, make sure you can survive his upgraded version of it.

I also set this up in mind to account for how wildy the AI is set up to move out of AOE Spells, you just can't get him to stand around for very long with the new algorithm that he has now.
