almost a week now I have been trying to beat my mirror so I can continue on but noooo I can't. i've tried switching around spells but that doesn't work. i've trying to go in without spells but that doesn't work either since he uses somekind of lighting on me. I just threw my cell phone againest the wall out of anger cause of this game. I don't get it i've never been pissed off over a game like this.

what class are you? i had lots of trouble with my mo/me then once i figured it out it was very easy

Hmm.. I would sit here and laugh my head off but I don't think I will. What can I say? You just need to find the niche. There's a strategy for whatever job you play. You have the advantage just like everyone having a sub job. If you select your skills properly then, there should be a way to beating the mirror. Instead of having to really figure out strategy for 6 jobs, knowing strategy for 3 should do it, considering you're going to be two out of the 6 if you get what I'm saying. Since you said lightening I'm going to assume you're an elementalist of some sort.

Im a warrior/mesmer and you know what I did against the mirror fellow? 7/8 of m spells would kill him or destroy him slowly while I had my secret weapon spell to destroy him. First try I defeated him because "Mirror Self", I mean come on, who wouldnt know what your up for with THAT name???
Oh Em Gee
Don't stress over it so much.
Like what Twilight had said, just figure out some sort of stradegy. Don't gotta go all crazy and demolish your belongings over a game. Self-control and confidence.
You'll beat the mirror in time. =)

I'm an Elementalist Monk, and beat him using only elementalist skills, specifically fire.
Step 1, immediately cast Aura of Restoration to recoup health.
Step 2, Meteor Shower. This will do significant damage and also keep knocking him on his ass.
Step 3, race in and hit him with every fire spell you've got starting with Flame Burst (fast and expensive, which is good for health regen), Inferno (fast), and pheonix (very powerful).
It worked for me on my first try, but your mileage may vary.

I play a w/mo and I think it may have took 30 seconds tops to beat my mirror. After reading this thread it's kinda of depressing to know other professions are having a "challenge" winning. I wish it would have taken a little skill/strategy rather than run in and slash/gash....Good Luck!

How can you not have them as a primary Ele? Did you not do your skill quests in pre-searing? Aura of Restoration is given to you in your first Ele quest in pre-searing.
At any rate, if you do not have these skills, then go find a skill trainer and buy them (or go back and find the quests you have not done and do them). GuildWars Guru has a page listing the skill trainers and which skills they sell.

there are skills that the clone doesn't use like healing breeze, pacifism, watch yoursself!, etc. Don't load so many skills. I beat a my clone as a Mo/W on the first try even though everyone said it was the hardest. I actually heard most elems beat it like 20 seconds on th first try

Doublea15
Im a W/Mo and after 3 times i took of my healing and put on full warrior skills. The battle was over in under 20 seconds. I used everyting and ended up dieing right before he did from bleeding. I still won 
Alathys Tylderaan
You surely cannot be serious that you dont have those skills. you must have got them at some point, and all you need to do is pRess K and you can swap them in and out of your skill bar, remember you can only do this inside towns and outposts.

My suggestion is that you do in fact uninstall the game, sell it on ebay and then proceed to seek some anger management counseling.

A week??? Dude I'm sorry but you suck. I beat my mirror on my third try and I was enjoying trying the different strategies until I found the right one..... And oh ya, that "some kind of lightning" is a spell you have equipped, so try unequipping it.
A little advice cause I dont want to be all negative: Equip mostly useless skills and put a buff on yourself before entering. Skip the cinematic and attack. Dont know what else to say....

Beating your mirror comes down to only one thing, "You have to outsmart yourself."
If you can't do that, then yah sell it on ebay like the guy a couple replies up said.

I was a E/W too.
I used meteor to start it off
then fire storm
then fireball
then whatever i could to finish him off.
You also need to avoid his fir storm spell.

you only broke your phone, I threw the monitor out of my apartment window...infact I projected it in an downward direction so fast, it incinerated before it hit the ground.
Crom the Conqueror
Well it takes a few tries. It took me two tries to kill my mirrior. But you just have to abserve what skills he/she uses and find the correct counter to those spells. AS soon as I figure out that, it took me only about 40 seconds to kill him.
Blades
The elementalist is probably the easiest of all the mirrors. Just take water attunment air attunment wind attunment and fire and take fire rain. leave the rest empty..he will cast all his attunment spells you cast fire rain...a few secs later he is dead.......
horohoro08
im a w/mo, my mirror was pathetic, i use hammer, and i was doing more than double the damage he was doing to me, and i took out all my healing skills so we kinda just "duked it out" and i won, as for elementalist, i'd suggest equipping 7 absolutely useless skills, and put on one offensive but cheap skill, so u just spam it on ur mirror while he casts all those other useless skills, it should work in theory, but never tried it.
nechronius
Is it not possible to just assign a single skill?
For example a warrior. Just assign frenzy as the skill.
Sure the mirror image will hit you for an extra 50% damage per Time span if it uses the skill, but it's taking 100% damage in return. All things being equal and no outside influence, shouldn't this be an easy win for the one NOT using Frenzy?

Necros have it easy. I beat my mirror at level 11 as a monk/necro.
Zeru
here are two easy methods
bring along a lot of fire aoe spells.
the mirror will stand for the full duration of the aoe.
you, if you play smartly, will move out of the way.
otherwise, you can bring a bunch of useless skills to consume time, i,e attunements, and a few damage skills. mirror will cast attunements first while you pound him with damage. by the time he's ready to cast his damage spells he should be almost dead.

Really? You got to Ascension against multiple mobs at lvl 18 and up in multiple missions that many higher leveled players have minor troubles getting through and you're only level 11...
I'm not going to call you a liar, as a matter of fact, with my propensity for cheating (outrageously most times) I'm going to give you kudos. So how'd you do it? Get more than one account and after your other account cleared all of the mobs in an area, you simply walked through right? You certainly didn't do it the standard way... Good job!
As for beating the mirror, it seems people either figure out a way to do it quick and easy or it's almost impossible. I figured out that as a Ranger/Mesmer I could rush the mirror and from some-damn-where it pulls out this "light axe" which I don't have. Then I could use my marksmanship skills while it's attacking with this axe and couldn't counter them.

monk necro seriously got it easy...
just bring up all the life costing skill and then maybe throw in a scourage sacrifise... watch him bring himself down
and u can get that far just by sitting there and have ppl do everything for u

A ranger has got probably the easiest self-mirror. It doesn't matter what you secondary prof. is because all you need are useless Nature Rituals (to keep him busy for 5 seconds, then another 5, etc). While he's busy, you simply arrow him to death (ARROW'D!) with Tiger's Fury and Power Shot, or something similar.

So, a few high level friends can carry him through the entire thing easily. Another thread is about this so I encourage you to search for it if you don't believe it. I,myself, carried a level 2 person through Nolani Academy (not as a high level but I only had two guildees with me and we work well together).

Meteor Shower and Fire storm are all you need to beat him. You move out of rain.. he doesn't.. You could unequip everything else on your skill bar and probably win with that combination, once you have meteor shower going, its basically game over.
Check again, I'm pretty sure you DO have at least aura..

I play a necrowarrior. At first I tried using only my necro skills but I was overmatched. My second try I used only life siphon and the rest were warrior skills. I beat my mirror that way. Maybe you should try using more of your warrior skills?
Hurley_Mccloud
I wanna thank everyone here with the help you all provided. If everyone is wondering I have no beat the mirror yet but im still trying. Thanks everyone though for your advice. 
Gildan
Go Hurley .. Go! good luck there.. hehe 
beware of me
Well just a little bit of advice for you maybe try it.....my ele/mes all i took was flare ..lmao seriously its all i took in there and beat it.
if you take anything like meteor or anything that takes awhile to cast to a single location.....if ur mirror casts step aside your not being hit when u cast them usually the mirror just stands there taking the hits.
your being half warrior take some skill that require building adrenaline....it makes those pretty much useless to the both of you.
just my 2 cents

Finally Me
I was a W/mo but defeated it in 30 secs with 1 tactic
I went in carrying a Bow equipped - went all thru the custscenes with the bow in my hand and "hey presto" my mirror image stated shooting me with a bow
I ran straight at him - switched to my sword/sheild and promply cut him to little pieces while he was hitting me for -3 or -4 I was knocking -20 -30 off him

About the mirror--its attribute points are NOT the same as yours. In other words, do NOT assign skills in your skill bar that you have low attribute points for. It will be a waste. What I would do is this:
1) rearrange your attribute points so you have max points in whichever attributes u r choosing (only 2 attributes max i'd say).
2) delete the skills in ur skill bar that u will not use. all you have to do is drag the skill when u're in a city out of the skill bar, similar to how you drop items outside of cities. make sure the ones you keep you can use/sequence in a way that a RL player can beat AI.
3)fight! i think u should be able to beat your mirror quite easily now.

Actually I beat it 5th try I think, I removing all my skills except flare and restoration. Casted Resotoration B4 I step on last stone to the cutoff scene and skiped it. And ran strait up to him he firing flair. He went to Melee and with my resotration I healed faster than he could melee. He went down in like 30 sec.
Zhark
I'm W/E and I beat the cr*p out of it on my first try, 25 seconds, without reading the help here..
I just equiped my usual spells, the dumb AI casted an AoE spell, I steped aside and started hitting him my sword spells. It went down fast.
