doppleganger?

well recenly ive gooton to ascension. ima ranger/monk and ive tried killing that weird looking copy of me, but it seems i cant even last 10 seconds in the ring . does any have any help on how i might kill this thing, and how did you do it? plz this is really ticking me offf

With my ranger, I went very near him. He used a hammer or axe I think instead of a bow so I was able to defeat him. Don't know if the doppleganger still resorts to melee weapon everytime you get near him.

Yes, the doppleganger does resort to a melee weapon when you get near and a long-ranged one when you're far away. I'm stuck with a doppleganger that shoots arrows at me when I'm far away and uses some melee weapon when I'm near. Did I mention that I was using my Elem/Mes character when this happened? Made absolutely no sense.

I've seen this posted before, and it worked really well for my Warrior/Ranger character.

Load up on junk nature rituals (particularly spirits) before facing the doppleganger. He'll waste time running through all of those, giving you a nice head start in killing him.

In my particular case, being a warrior primary, I loaded Frenzy, 5 useless nature rituals (all spirits, picked pretty much at random), and 2 sword attack skills (I've read that he uses an axe in melee, so the sword skills would be useless to him; they were for me to use ). I had him dead in about 15 seconds.

IIRC, doppleganger doesn't use Healing Breeze. So load it up and outlast him.
