I tried just loading my bar with sacrifice skills and Awaken the Blood on my necro, and I was disappointed. The mirrior used Awaken the Blood, Blood Renewal, and Enfeebling Blood, then proceeded to hack at me vigorously with an axe till I died. He bit the dust himself from the degen he got from Chiblains, but I still lost.
My solution: Bring Insidious Parasite and Spiteful Spirit {E} and pump up those curses! Grab Defile Flesh for its 20% sacrifice. Then, of course, bring Awaken the Blood and Enfeebling Blood. DO NOT bring Blood Renewal (big sacrifice, but regen+healing too).
I found that he will NEVER use Signet of Agony, Verata's Sacrifice, or Blood of the Master, even if they are the only skills on your bar. He'll just smack you around with his axe and laugh at you. He occasionally uses Chiblains if you have it, but only if you get up close to him. He loves to use Awaken + Enfeebling Blood, which is nice.
At the beginning of the fight, you'll both lay on Insidious Parasite and Spiteful Spirit on each other. Grab Enfeebling Blood and Awaken. Both his hexes will wear off a lot quicker than yours will, if you get curses up enough (mine was at 16). He'll probably cast Awaken the blood and enfeebling blood right after that. You could throw on an Enfeebling on him if you'd like, though it'll cost you some health (maybe bring both Enfeeble and Enfeebling Blood, and use Enfeeble) Go in close to him and then start strafing left and right, so that he has to move to hit you but you don't get critted. Whenever he hits you, he'll take about 58 damage and you'll be healed for 21 (at 16 curses). Keep dancin' and he'll be dead before you know it.

way to do it. before last pedastal to activate mesa, cast diversion and skip the scene. since diversion gives u a 75% chance to block, then cast empathy. cast diversion again and run back and forth dodging his arrows. keep casting diversion and empathy as needed. still had almost a full health bar left... edit. this tactic can work with all mesmers or anyone with mes secondary. relatively easy fight. a guildmate did it using these tactics at lvl 12 |
Apologies for the double post.
Ghost.
i think this thread doesn't give you to many options on what things you actually can use against doppleganger
Demon Rebel
Hey 
I walked in with my R/N Demon Rebel... Had some useless spells like soul feast, ignite arrows, and just my basic Ranger setup to that point. He hit me a couple times with the axe and died in roughly 9 seconds - major breeze... now if all my chars could have it so easy.
The Mo/W had it a little tougher, with the right setup she trashed him in a little bit longer I think 30+ seconds, frenzy, smite, bane signet, holy touch and banish. Banish is my favorite spam hit, though it doesn't have the double hit when foe is attacking like Smite does.

Well, i managed somehow to kill him (R/Mo), with 3 nature rituals (doesnt matter which ones), Troll Unguent, Symbol of Wrath, Penetrating Attack, Savage Shot and Dust Trap. He started off with all the nature rituals, while i rushed in and pulled off SoW. Of course, he was not close enough, so it didnt work. While he still was using the rituals, i just started pummeling him with arrows. He used Troll unguent, and i disrupted it with savage shot. After 2 disrupts i just finished him off. The only damage i recieved, was from one bow shot.
Raiin Maker
its easy if you a necro.. just take all sacrifeing spells and awaken the blood... (and vampric gaze)
use awaken the blood and vampric gaze ONLY your DG will use most of the sacrifing spells and ATB and will kill himself... easy way for necro's to ascend.

I managed to pull off a Me/R win without using Nature Rituals =P
Brought Spirit of Failure, Shatter Enchantment, Channeling, and had more or less a blank skillbar from there. I think I might have used Arcane Echo off the bat to get another Shatter, but I can't quite remember.
Pumped Domination, Marksmanship (for a good bow) and Inspiration, naturally.
Channeling was a dummy skill, he'll use it whenever he can - past that, I merely used Shatter and Spirit, and hoped I got lucky with Spirit of Failure's 25% miss chance as I traded shots. Shatter put me over the top the second time I tried it.

Prince Zyphr
for my ele i used meteor shower+fire storm+fireball+flare
cast meteor shower first then just keeping moving around and cast fire strom move some more(moving is for dodging the AOE's) and firebal+flare=dead
monk i used, sever artery,gash,pure strike, banish, balthazars aura, healing breeze, orison of healing; when i did it he was stupid and basically did nothing might be differnt for u
anybody who is mesmer or /mesmer just take alot of useless hexes or spells + backfire, channeling, and shatter enchatment
add all points to domintaion cast backfire on him first, he should use channeling and after backfire is off use shatter enchat to kill

I just killed the doppleganger with my Ele today, using only Meteor Shower and Firestorm.
But wait, the doppleganger runs away from AoE's now!
...but not when they're busy casting their 4-5 second AoE's. When your AoE's are recharging, wand-spam for the win.

I did it in about 45 seconds with my R/Mo. Didn't use a single Ritual, and only needed 3 skills. Mending, Protective Spirit, and Distracting shot. I put on mending before the fight started, and as soon as it did, I fired distracting shot, which stopped him from using it, and then cast protective spirit. After that, it was just a simple waiting game of attacking him, keeping spirit up, and using distracting shot when he tried to use mending. Worked for me.
Loadtoad
yes alot of the ideas above no longer work.... they have changed how your mirror thinks now... My mirror did not use one of my skills just beat me with that damb axe, the only time it would use a skill is if i put in a good one!
Storm Crow
you people REALLY exaggerate the ele Dopp.
-take Fire Storm and Meteor Shower (in that order, he'll do storm first)
-if you arent pyro, switch out, you can always go back to your previous element.
-when you go in, hit SHOWER first, it'll keep him busy while he tries to use storm.
-once he gets storm out, just move, and cast it youself
-strafe left and right to avoid arrows and watch the fireworks fly as the 50,000xp floats from your head
this took me a total of about 9 seconds, you dont need any worthless skills or Aura, just a couple good AoE's and your wand/staff and you're good to go
kk thx bye

I will add to this I used with my Monk healing breeze.retrubutionand holy wrath on my warrior I used riposte,final thrust.frenzy and healing signet.I beat in 1 attempt in under 5 min more like 2.This has got to be the esaiest part of ascending.
LightningHell
For me, all I have to do is Flare + Backfire. Of course, Aura of Restoration is nice, but not needed.
leeky baby
if ur a monk or a monk secondary then just take healing breze as only skill and use it the guy will not use it
mainxstage
I took him down by letting him cast useless spells on me like spirit shackles and spirit of failure. I didnt have to smack him with my wand once.
Skill bar:
Hex breaker, Empathy, Backfire, Spirit Shackles, Spirit of Failure, Essense Bond, Life Attunement, Healing Breeze.
Atts:
Domination - Max
Healing Prayers - Max
Cast Hex breaker and let it recharge before you enter. If he casts Hex Breaker as well hit him with spirit shackles then backfire + empathy. If not then just backfire + empathy. If he removes a hex recast hex breaker. Died pretty quick.

I just set my necro to blood and domination, and used empathy, vamp gaze, and all sacrifice spells.
The guy had a bow so use empathy, then watch as he kills himself FAST with the combo of that and sacrifice spells! You need Vamp gaze, because when his health is real low you need that extra push to kill him.
Did it in 7-8secs with this
but i was lvl 20, and somethin like lvl 14 on dom and blood, but it is prob the easiest with N/Me or Me/N, as every1s been saying!

For most classes, take 2 skills only
1 healing and an 1 interrupt
All you gotta do is interrupt his healing and u win.

I don't know where you guys are getting this idea that the doppel won't use healing breeze. It's simply not true. I just attempted it with my mo/me and the doppel uses breeze quite freely. I sat there and watched to be sure.
unienaule
If you read more carefully, he won't use it if you go pure melee.
Arcien Trueflight
I beat him in about 20 seconds with my R/Mo, I cast mending on myself outside, and when I got in, as I expected, he tried to cast it. So, I used Distracting shot, and for the next 18-19 seconds I just shot at him until he tried casting mending again and I killed him. Short, simple, and sweet.
Prafessional Playa
I am a necro/monk and i have tried at least 30 times trying to kill the doppleganger. If you have any suggestions please let me know
tuperwho
I believe the easy necro strategy is to bring skills for him to use that will sacrifice life. Meanwhile, you don't use them, you just use your wand.
Prafessional Playa
I have a n/mo and i brought sacrifice spells and everything you guys said but he just does bow and axe damage and woops me everytime... if i die but he is still bleeding and dies will i still ascend?

Just killed her with my ele.
+16 in earth and the rest in energy storage.
Skills: Obsidian Flame, Crystal Wave and Meteor Shower + any useless non-healing long-casting spells.
As soon as you get in she casts Meteor Shower. Get closer and hit her with Crystal Wave (106dmg ignoring armor), then run away and keep casting Obsidian Flame (118dmg per hit ignoring armor). That's about it.

I did something similar with me ele, didn't even equip any specialist skills, just killed it with fireball phoenix meteor and so on while it was casting shower
Anarki
Well I just kicked his sorry ass without even losing once out of 5 tries. He just couldnt kill me.
I am a Ranger/Monk and i used:
1. Savage Shot
2. Hunter's Shot
3. Troll Unguent
4. Favorable Winds
5. Read the Wind
6. Comfort Animal
7. Charm Animal
8. Restore Life
Once you start use immediately Read The Wind then as soon as you're done casting shoot with Savage Shot (Doppleganger will try to summon Favorable Winds). Then use Troll Unguent and just shoot at him or go to close combat if you prefer (his axe is weaker than bow), however it doesnt really matter since you are gonna kill him anyway
At the point when he tries to use Troll Unguent your Savage Shot will be ready so interrupt it. He might first try to use Read The Wind. Dont interrupt that one just wait for Troll Unguent.
Repeat that strategy every time he tries to use Troll Unguent, he will die in about 20-40 seconds which is enough for bonus too.
I just did it 5 times in a row and had no problems. Every Ranger should be able to do it since I havent used my Monk skills at all.

Ok, I have tried 30+ times with my Mo/W. I have tried using no healing skills and still couldn't beat him. He is doing 100+ dmg with his axe. Why does he have an axe and a bow if all I have is a wand? Anyways, how do you Mo/W kill him?
WolflordUlrik
Based only upon my personal experience i say the dopple is easy to beat as long as your a good player.
The latest build i faced him with was with my W/n: vile touch, hamstring, sever, gash, and victory is mine +others not important.
I went in fully skilled for pvp cause i just came from the competition arenas. I forgot i had to fight him and never had trble b4 so why reskill?
