There's been quite a lot of threads about how to kill your double during the Ascension, and most of them have been answered before. I put this small guide together for those who don't know how to search for threads which have all the info about beating double.
Necro: Bring skills which will sacrifice life. You won't be using them, but the double will. Just sit still and watch it kill itself. Also, Awaken Blood makes it sacrifice lot more life. So, bring it along, but don't use it.Still works
Monk: Life Attunement and Healing Breeze. DO NOT USE LIFE ATTUNEMENT! It cuts your damage down to fraction of what it was. Let double use it, while you are using your wand/staff to kill it. Use Healing Breeze if you need healing.Still works
Mesmer: Hexbreaker + Empathy + Backfire. Before you step on the last stone, use Hexbreaker, then cast empathy on the double. Renew Hexbreaker and cast Backfire. Then just strafe around it's arrows. Remember to take a few steps back after entering to be able to dodge the arrows better. Can be done without hexbreaker, but it does add to damage and makes the fight quicker.Still works
Ranger: Bring bar full of rituals, and just start to plink at it with your bow while it wastes time on the rituals.Works
Warrior: Just go bash it's head in. Thats the thing you're good at, right? And bring Frenzy with you, for Dopple to use. Makes it faster.No changes here
Elementalist: Meteor Shower, Firestorm, Aura of Restoration + flare. Remember to move out of AoE-spells when double casts them on you. Before stepping on that last stone, cast Aura, then MS on double, then FS. And then at your leisure just flare it to death.No longer works, as double will move out of the way.
Hope this helps some people who might be stuck against the double. Any errors, omissions, typos, mistakes in grammar.. Post on the thread, and I'll try to correct them.
