Doing the doppleganger but failing bonus?

Hi, I play a W/x and am currently dabbling a bit with titles. Recently I got the idea to do a title spike of, say 10 titles that can be completed in under an hour.
Two of the titles I have been looking at is Protector and Guardian of Tyria. So the best mission would be to do the doppleganger as that takes about a min. But to do that I need to first do him without completing bonus so i can get to Dragon's Lair. But I find 10 min and 2 min to be rather hefty time to first not die, then kill him.
So as said, I play Warrior and need a build/tactic to complete the doppleganger in OVER 10 min in normal, or OVER 2 min in HM.
Help is appreciated, thanks.

go more damage and less defense......
put 2 maintained enchantments in your bar with no points in them,he will use them and have serious energy issues

Take frenzy DO NOT USE IT. Take Healing sig DONT USE IT. take savage slash USE IT. that should own him if not then take W/MO and take Life Attunment and DONT USE IT lol

Wow, it seems that a lot of people have trouble defeating the doppleganger. I had absolutely no problem beating him at all. Kind of ironic because I have problems with missions the majority says is easy. Yet, I had almost no problem with the doppleganger.

As for my build, I had a basic Sever Artery/Gash/Final Thrust build on my Warrior at the time....I think.

it used to be easy as hell. but the nerf the easy factor when hard mode came out so those builds don't work in hm... but aslong as u have good amour and weapon u can own him!

equip frenzy and use blinding flash as a secondary ele. win.

yes and may i ask what happens when he uses it on you?

another way is to bring frenzy, deadly riposte, and skills that use energy instead of adrenaline, so skills like power attack. my doppleganger on my warr died in ~5-6 seconds. if you need a heal, bring heal sig and distracting blow and distract his.

Don't even need Deadly Riposte. Wait for him to use Frenzy then use a few Power Attack clones and he's dead. But iirc he doesn't use Frenzy in HM.

He'll use [skill=text]Frenzied Defense[/skill] in Hard Mode. Or, at least he did when Hard Mode was first introduced. He always goes down in ~10 seconds or less on my Warrior in NM. If you want, I made a build specifically to kill him in Hard Mode. It's completely overkill.(This was before the armor cap) Here:

EDIT-
oh and if you take frenzied defence take wild blow does like 200dmg cause critical!

heh, just reread my post, and I contradicted myself, and all of you read the last part I guess. It should be how do I kill the doppleganger in OVER 10/2 minutes. So that it does not count towards the protector/guardian title. Sorry for the misunderstanding

well, since u said /x i assume u can go nec. just load your skillbar down with sacrifices that cant really benefit him and hit him with ss and break off your attack. he will kill himself.

I haven't faced doppy for a long, long time. Not sure if this will work. Take the bare minimum skills needed to kill him, for the rest take stances/shouts like Shields Up, Deflect Arrows, etc. and a speed buff. Keep your distance so doppy just plink arrows at you, use stance/shouts to avoid being hit and run around. When you're done grieving doppy for whatever time, then rush in and make the kill.

I sort of agree with caged fury except dont bring any blocking stances at all or he'll just use them.

Instead go /R and use dodge. That will let you dodge arrows better and provide the speed buff. it should be pretty easy to just sit in bow range and dodge his attacks until the 10 minute mark then move in for the kill. Unlike blocking stances, dodge wont help the doppleganger at all in close range since it only affects projectile attacks and ends if you attack.

Frenzy+ cast backfire/empathy on him

ok so you don't want to kill him quickly take this...

[skill]Frenzy[/skill]Swap[skill]Frenzied Defense[/skill][skill]Healing Signet[/skill][skill]Savage Slash[/skill][skill]Natural Stride[/skill][skill]Toxicity[/skill][skill]Quicksand[/skill]

Basicly
12 Sword
12 Wilderness...

(take out frezied defence in NM)

Basicly let him mkae spirits and he will drain all his energy so w8 for the 10 mins then use PTS and run in to make the kill...
im not sure if he uses PTS if he does just swap it for a spirit have to You'll have to test first... also take [skill=text]Wild Blow[/skill] because he will try to use [skill=text]Natural Stride[/skill] and this will stop you killing him...
may i ask why you don't want bonus?

Ahh my bad thinking of my ele build with empathy. XD

If you want to do a 10 title spike, can't you save this mission for last? Like when your ready to get guardian?
