How to beat doppelganger with level 7 r/mo ?

I have starter armour and a level 8 pet. My bow is sturdy recurve bow (max dmg and req 9).

I tried taking spirits along, but doppelganger kills me after he sets them up and kills my pet.

How to beat him?

your level 7 he is level 20..

Level up first to like 15

first of all what are you doing with starter armor in the Crystal Desert?

How did you even beat the 3 missions in starter armor??

did i accidentally post under section /sarcarm and witty remarks?

just finished beating him

advice: take 5 spirits along with fertile season, your pet, bane signet and power shot

all attribs to beast mastery

walk further away and after he sets up spirits he tries to kill the pet. spam signet and powershot.

fertile season gives pet more juice so he can't beat it and dies pretty easily

Would have been nice if you FRAP'd it.

Another method that works for all classes is...

Make yourself a secondary Mesmer, if you aren't a Mesmer primary, and bring empathy and leave the rest of your skill bar blank. Put all of your attributes into domination magic. Empathy should be available to use once you are granted Mesmer as your secondary profession.

Then cast empathy on the doppelganger. Do not attack him because he will cast it on you.

Then, use the "Q" and "E" keys to strafe back and forth to dodge his bow attacks. Reapply Empathy as needed.

If done correctly, the doppelganger should die easily without you being touched and you win!

NOTE: This is also affective in hard mode.

A lot of people trying to kill the doppelganger (especially at such a low level) aren't ascended yet. Changing secondaries is not an option for them.

You fight the doppelganger after you beat all three Crystal Desert missions (Thirsty River, Elona Reach, and Dunes of Despair), then speak to a specific NPC at Augury Rock.

I beat mine at level 20 and did the spirit thing but instead of going out of bow range I went into melee range(the doppelganger will switch to an axe even if you have bow attacks equipped) and spammed Burning Arrow until it died.

I beat him on my level 8 monk by taking necro secondary. I only had 1 skill on my bar and that was Insidious Parasite.

Skatingecko · Oct 31, 2007, 12:06 AM // 00:06

ok, first, rid the starter armor. Then:
1.empty ALL your skillz excpt 4 some pet attks, and keep Point Blank Shot. It's low enrgy cost and it does high dmg, plus he melees so hes next 2u. im pretty sure he cant use it cuz he uses sword, and he has NO pet. u should be fine, just try to get max armour- ur an R/Mo, learn sum running routes and make some extra $$

Bowstring Badass · Oct 31, 2007, 12:07 AM // 00:07

Just take a pet and pet attacks.

Skatingecko · Oct 31, 2007, 12:09 AM // 00:09

ok first, empty all ur skillz scept for some pet attks and point blank shot. use ur pet attks and attk him and point blank shot over and over. Also have troll ungent handy, not healing breeze cuz then he'll have it and he'll be harder 2 beat... and atleast get better armour lol

Fill your bar with useless 5s cast spirits and the Doppel will try to cast them all. That gives you 8x5 seconds to poke away at it with your bow.

First of all, he already beat the dopple. And he also said he tried the spirits but it wasn't working for him. He's also lvl 7, they can't run for crap. And the dopple's weapon is universal, he can use any weapon in the game even though it has (I believe) an axe skin.

srry, i didnt see his lvl b4 i posted, "try some running routes and make some more $$"

Gratz on getting the Doppelganger.

Taurus · Nov 01, 2007, 03:45 PM // 15:45

strafe + wand and you will beat you dobblegonger

Skatingecko · Nov 01, 2007, 10:30 PM // 22:30

yea, burning arrow and point blank shot much better than power shot tho...
