Killed my doppler at level 10 with my Mesmer/Monk. Only brought Empathy and Backfire like the guide says and it worked. Just dodge arrows, it can be done at level 9 as well, my friend did it.

I only read the first page, but for Anyone with part warrior, you can bring a sword and Riposte/Deadly Riposte.

Get up in melee range of your dopple and just weakly hit it as you Alternate Riposte and Deadly Riposte. He falls in like....a few hits.

The first time I did this with my fire ele, it was before the aoe nerf, so the meteor shower thing killed him easy. Second time I did it was after the aoe nerf (but I was using my air ele for some reason). I basicly made a 55hp ele and slaughtered him.

For warrior: bring Frenzy + healsig and dont use them, in the start your doppelganger will use frenzy, and when you have hitted him like 4 times he will use heal sig, use cleave and he's dead

Hexbreaker didn't work for me though. The doppelganger will now cast hexbreaker first, so both initial hexes fail.

Used hexbreaker 15s befor entering
1s clumsiness to kill its hexbreaker (doppler cast hexbreaker + starts backfire)
backfire (doppler's backfire fails, starts empathie)
renew hexbreaker
emphatie

And brought overload, just in case it needed a cheap, harmless spell to cast through backfire...

"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."


The "AoE nurf" didn't effect me. He stayed right under my firestorm.

RANGER:just bring your pet and a whole lotta pet skills because he doesn thave a pet and whoever said it doesnt come is bullshitting cos i kill him in 8 sec wit my dire wolf lvl 15

1.call of haste
2.pet attack (feral lunge works nice for bleeding)
3.pet attack
4.pet attack
5.call of protection
6.symbiotic bond
7.comfort animal
8.charm animal

When I used my Old Necro PvE (Deleted Now), I brought lots of sacrifice skill, and Awaken the Blood. After about three skills he was almost dead and I finished him with Deathly Swarm. Should do that if your a Necro.

i owned that double with my assasin by putting some useless enchantmenst in my build (blessed aura essence bond etc) and start quickly off with a chain and use blinding powder before he does :P
this way he can't activate blinding powder since he's blinded :P

I did it as an Earth ele. I brought Ward Against Melee and Magnetic Aura to protect me, as well as two hexes that would help me if used on me (Iron Mist and Grasping Earth, I believe). Stone Daggers to inflict damage, dual attunements, and Aura of Restoration for healing.

I finished it off real quick...

too 3 tries for me, on the third, I realised that I shouldn't take healing signet (I have a warrior) and killed him in 6 seconds.

Elementalist is easy. Bring aura of restoration, ice spear and meteor shower. Nothing else. Put AoR on before you go in, and put all points on energy storage/water magic (none on fire). Just spam ice spear while he's wasting time on meteor shower. Just move when he's done casting it and continue spamming, you should be way up. If you have secondary ranger, bring spirits, he actually wastes time casting them.

for people coming from factions it's insanely easy if they got a necromancer (primary or secondary): you don't need armor, you don't need a weapon, you don't even need to be sitting in front of your screen...

Dark Aura, Dark Fury, Cultist's Fervor, Awaken the Blood.

If you're lucky, he will die within 3 and 3/4 seconds, if not he will attack you once and then decide to die. It just depends on the order he uses his skills.

When I first fought the double guy(back in the day before i knew to bring sacrifices) I killed the doppelganger in less then 15 secs and thats a moderate time. all I used was a Blood spike build heres how i did it...before you step on the last stone cast Awaken the blood then step on it and the movie will start. After the movie you will still have AtB on you start casting Shadow Strike andVamp Gave and any other quick damge moves. This is how i killed him and it was on my first try before i even knew he copied me(yeah i was a noob). This is was to get the bonus really fast. the only thing is make sure you DO NOT have any Sup runes on you because you need alot of health because he is doing the came thing just slower.

Don't use the spell, and make sure there is no lighting damage on your bar. then bring a spammable skill along and nothing else. (a note, I did this r/e, not ele primary)

Remember to have 12 in the stat for your attack skill (or at least above 9)

Really? I killed him with my rit using two restoration skills :P
Weapon of Remedy and Vengeful Weapon. Umm, yeah, keep attacking me...

If I had thought of it I could have gone Rt/N and given him touch of Agony and Dark Pact (for example) to kill him even faster.

>>>>RANGERS RANGERS RANGERS<<<<

For all u Rangers out there...u hav the easiest job. The first time i versed doppelganger i got under 10 seconds...to easy (lol..and i was so pumped for an awesum battle). All u need to do is to hav 10 beast mastery (yes...u dont have to hav 12...i used 10) and these 5 skills: Call of Protection, Call of Haste, Feral Lunge, Bestial Pounce, Charm Animal. Optional skills are Comfort Animal. I took those 5, comfort animal, piercing shot and res signet (wt?!) first go, but i realised i over prepared as i killed him with my pet by itself. Check the screenshot. However.....dont try to tank that guys attacks as i tried to (i didnt even fight back) as this may result in u running for your life. If u do it properly u can probably get even better as at the start i ran up to doppelganger and just stood there for 2 or so seconds b4 i realised i hadnt targetted him.

im not very gud with this posting images thing so i dunno if it will work

For ele, i've found that Blinding Flash cuts the dopple's damage down significantly. On that note, the best strategy for an ele is to bring alot of long casting spells and 4 short ones, preferably in Air Magic. That way you can spike him out before he spikes you out.

For Assassin, just bring Temple Strike. The dopple seems to have trouble chaining attacks.

Just did this easily today 5/6/2007 as a N/Mo. Skill bar:

Insidious Parasite
Healing Breeze
Live Vicariously
Vital Blessing
Divine Boon
Rend Enchantments
Awaken the Blood
Order of the Vampire

Curses was 12 all other atts 0. Put on all three maintained monk enchants before entering and regain energy. Doppel will rend them and lose quite a lot of health. I then just used Parasite w/ Breeze every now and then and he died in 30-40 secs or so. Might want to reapply enchants to kill him faster but I was low on energy from casting Parasite. Still got the bonus.

ALL MO/E's

If you want to pass for Survivor title, the easiest is this:

You bar:
Firestorm, Meteor Shower, Gale, Life Attunement.

Fire 12, Air 5, Prot 11
Cast Meteor Shower straight off, the doppelganger will either cast firestorm, meteor shower or life attunement, and either one he casts he will cast another immediately after the first. After firestorm, if the doppel isn't casting, hit him with Gale to prevent him from moving. Cast again if necessary. Cast Fire Storm and watch him stand in the AoE. After several posts I have seen, he does not move out of AoE, whilst others say he does. He will cast Life Attunement which will lower his damage significantly. DO NOT CAST LIFE ATTUNEMENT on yourself.

I did this with pre-searing armor at level 18 and didn't get past half health. If you are nervous about dieing, take Protective Spirit, the doppelganger won't use it at the right times, so it's gg. Easy as pie.

I took down my Ritualist's Doppleganger, by taking Dissonance along with a number of other spirits, some to attack and others just for him to waste time casting.
I used Dissonance straight away and that kept interuppting him while I was free to continue summoning spirits. He went down pretty quickly once all the spirits were up.

For my ranger, I went as high as I could in both expertise and beast mastery, and took nothing but skills for my pet to attack with. It was the easiest battle I have ever had in the game, because of the fact he couldn't use a single skill I had.

Warrior dopple as W/Me: Backfire, Empathy, "To the Limit!", Auspicious Parry.
Empathy + Signet of Midnight for hard mode mes dopple - easy!
Grenth's Balance + Empathy + Enfeeble for hard mode Nec - easy!
Rit is super easy. Make any combo of Empathy, Venge Weapon, and Venge was Khanei - couple seconds...
Ranger: Empathy. Throw Dirt, when that runs out use Whirling Defense
As for Assassin. I'm sure there's a better way, but I did Empathy, Shroud of Distress, and Shadow Form
Monk: Retribution, Holy Wrath, Empathy
Ele: Empathy, Blinding Flash

This is too boring for me to go on with my other characters... lol
