Ascension

I need help badly. I'm a R/E 20 and I'm attempting to defeat the doppleganger so that I may ascend. However, she gets me everytime..the most damage I've managed to do to her is 3/4 and I die. I know she uses against you what you take, so I don't take anything at all except my weapon. I also use tab/spacebar to attack immediately.

I see that she seems to be using a fire spell in the beginning since I'm flaming..but there seems to be no avoiding it, since you can't run from her without being hit as you try.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.. I'd like to carry on.

Re: Ascension

Well the doppleganger, or "mirror" as most people like to refer to it by, uses the skills that you have equiped on yourself. Since your a ranger/ele you may want to get in close to the doppleganger so it starts using melee attacks since you most likely won't have any melee skills equipped. I have yet to get to ascension with my ranger but I am close. If you can post a list of what skills you are planning to use in the battle i'm sure one of us can help you out.

Re: Ascension

bring meteor shower and meteor, in the beginnen do meteor and it will do meteor shower. u will inturpt his meteor shower, then do yours and attack, he will be dead soon by the meteors and cant attack you because he keeps getting knocked down. i did it like this on my elementist so im not sure if it will work for a R/E

Re: Ascension

I found it really easy when you take a nature ritual creature (spirit of favorable wind works).

Because they will use that skill right from the start and then you can wail on him while he casts it (usually like 3 times)

and make sure thats the only spell you take.

hope that helps

Re: Ascension

Low is right, just bring all your spirits and he'll keep casting them, making him vunerable to most attacks. So you take out his offense by giving him long cast durations on useless skills.

Re: Ascension

I just ascended my W/Mo...killed the doppleganger in no time flat! Here's what was done:

Went into the fight with the following spells equipped:
slot 1) Blessed Aura
slot 2) Holy Veil
slot 3) Symbol of Wrath

As soon as fight began I activated the spells in slot order then just slugged it out with it...finished him off well ahead of the timer...phew! Whatta' relief!! Hope this helps sumbody out. :)

Re: Ascension

Lol just replied to another one like this -
as a Ranger just take all your "Spirit" skills:
"Spirit of Winter" etc
and SPAM LIKE HELL on Penetrative Shot! I killed mine easily - mirrors use everything you take before attacking so you get a head start - works for most builds :D

Re: Ascension

Heyya guys.

I came up with the following recipe for beating the dopple with a lvl-20 mo/me, with amnoon armor.

Packed retribution, empathy, and healing breeze.
Cast retribution on myself, before facing the dopple.
Cast empathy on the dopple *as soon as I got in*
Got close to dopple so that it meleed me, casting healing breeze on myself as needed, and *continuosuly* casting empathy on the dopple, without attacking it at all.

Most of the time took me 40 sec to beat it, but I was able to do it in 35 being *very* efficient with empathy.

I hope this helps... Cheers

Re: Ascension

Here are the parameters for my recipe:

Entry level of health: 510
Entry level of energy: 36
Domination magic: 11
Healing prayers: 6
Smiting prayers: 11
Divine favor: 5

Equipment (all customized):
Servant's scalp design of miner vigor (boosted healing prayers from 5 to 6).
Ene+4, armor 51, armor +10 (vs physical atacks) Censor's vestments.
Ene+4, armor 60, armor +10 (vs. physical attacks) Censor's handwrappings.
Ene-1, armor 51, ene rec +1, armor +10 (vs physical attacks) censor's pants).
Ene-1, armor 51, ene rec +1, armor +10 (vs physical attacks) Censor's sandals.
Ene+10, armor +4 Defensive shadow staff (equipped for armor and energy, not for attack).

all of this is equipment one can get before ascension.

This configuration allows me to beat my dopple easily in 35 sec (in earlier attempts I had a slightly less domination points, so it took me 5 sec more to beat it).

Re: Ascension

Just did. Thx and apologies for the misplacement. I mispelled 'doppel' in my submission (typed 'dopple'). Also, in keeping with other guides of the same type, the title should be 'Mirror battle: Monk/Mesmer'. I hope both are corrected (if the submission accepted).

Re: Ascension

Another clarification for my recipe: Healing breeze should also be cast as continuously as possible, not just 'as needed'.

Re: Ascension

for future reference to other players having the same problem;

I had a monk I was trying to ascend - tried it about 50 times until I saw "the light" - meaning, I saw a patter as far as skills you bring and how they are used.

Your Mirror will use the skills from LEFT to RIGHT. So no matter WHAT class you are, put the skills that are usesless and or take the longest to the FAR LEFT and just keep adding them until you fill *7 of the 8* slots. The 8th slot, you will put the skill that will deal the most damage and this is the ONLY skill you should use.

The Mirror will go through ALL the skills before bringing out his bow to shoot at you. This is especially to Monks that have BACKFIRE. Use ONLY the backfire skill and -do not- attack. Your mirror will kill himself.

Oh, side not, it helps to refund as much of your HERO attribs to the one skill you will be using :).
