with any monk primary, bring only divine boon. use it at the start, then use it whenever you need a bit of HP, and the doppleganger won't.

Edit: Ok, scratch that, apparently it got nerfed.

Take off all your healing skills. Use meteor shower, meteor, fire storm.

The trick to the doppleganger is load yourself up with useless skills that the other person can't use... especially fun with summon necros...

Load up on AoE attacks... you can move out of them when the doppleganger uses them, but s/he will sit there and take a beating. Oh, and do NOT bring any healing skills.

This is what I did on my W/Mo. I loaded up on "Target other ally" skills and just wailed on the mirror until it died.

Take Healing Breeze if you need a heal, since he doesn't use it.

I thank you for the idea of these skills. Meteor then Meteor Shower, then Fire Storm, in that order, not only killed "it", but got me tha bonus....
Hope I did not break any rules by giving it away.... but thank you for the suggestion !!

Hehe, I wonder if the mirror will use a SoC on you when you die? If not, then there's one useless skill to fill a slot!

I think others should use this thread for their Ascension issues as well. Many helpful tips. Thanks again to all of you!

as an E, I took fire ball and firestorm. I cast fire storm on him right away and ran out of range as he cast it on me... then I ducked behind a wall for protection and he died.

I took as many useless skills as I could for the first few slots in my skill bar (like pacifism...go ahead, pacify my monk, didn't care). Then the last few slots I brought Balths' Aura, Symbol of Wrath, Zealots Fire, and (if memory serves) mend ailment or something. Just something I could hit a few times for divine favor healing. Put all my points into smite/divine favor.

Done in something like 12 seconds or so...maybe a few longer, but I had just enough time for 3-4 casts and a couple shots with my staff.

Why bother packing your bar with skills that can't be used? You guys know you can leave slots empty, don't you?

I beat my Mo/W's doppleganger with healing breeze, divine boon, sprint, and five empty slots. (Sprint was there just to get me to the doppleganger a little faster. )

In the hopes that the doppel will use them poorly, of course.

I was referring to the talk about taking skills that the doppelganger can't even try to use, like capture signets or "other ally" skills.

Funny way to beat it:
Hammer W/mo
Balthazar's Aura
Devastating Hammer (Elite)
Symbol of Wrath
Heavy Blow
Healing Breeze
Life Attunement
Anything else

Balthazar's Aura, knockdown, Symbol, knockdown (Use healing breeze if you fail to interrupt his Balthazar's Aura and Symbol of Wrath). He'll Life Attune himself, causing him to deal hardly any damage. This is probably the most useless skill for a Doppleganager to have since it only stops him from attacking for 3 seconds and makes his attacks weaker

I was farming him one day becuase I needed 1.1k exp; it takes 10-15 seconds to kill him with this build if you get it off right ^^

i used to have troubles for defeating my doppleganger with my monk
but... invincy monking also does the trick

dopple still doesn't use healing breeze, balth's aura does massive dmge to him and almost non to you, shield of judgement to make him suicide (if you want)
just don't take mending along as he will use that (and it makes it harder to kill him)

Follow up with getting right next to him, axes do not do as much dmg as a bow. Have a desent weapon due to his attribute placement WILL not match yours so make sure you can do the dmg, just keep attacking him the whole fight. 9/10 times you will win this one easy.

Mo/E is simple. As you are loading in hit tab & space, cast Pacifism, move out of way, cast firestorm, then run in and use the other 2 skills. I am at work so I don't have the names, but 1st is monk smite skill for 5 secs any foe nearby takes ?dmg, and 2nd is ele fire that does same thing. That is it. Only take those 4 skills. No need for heal. This will cook him up nice and fast, like the gremlin in the microwave. I got bonus no problem.
