hey elfs out there, How did you do this part (g21)
How the hell do i kill the dopple? im a mage mainly, so i have no clue how to kill it, since it just regens all the damage i do it it
Comments
I mainly chained, due to chain sweep, but having a strong crash shot should be more than sufficient. The clones pack health in the thousands, so they can conceivably tank quite a bit for side mobs. Since chain gives higher attack, it may be conducive for most to use it over bow and arrow.
I only managed to wound the Doppel by an average of half each hit, mainly relying on my damage output outpacing their regeneration in anycase.
Magic does not wound, hence why I surmise the OP is having trouble. Unless you are god tier, killing doppelganger with magic would be extremely difficult.
it took me about 20 mins to even do 10% of its hp with archery + guns and the dopples spawn to quickly for me to kill em and then do a good amount of damage.
I'd appreciate any advice as well.
I don't know if I got lucky and glitched or it was because of something I did.
I always made sure to kill the clones and hit all the orbs before even touching the dopple. ( killed the clones with chains and ninja ).
I started the fight by meteoring the clones down before heading straight into the boss. I whacked the boss with minimal damage until the first round of orbs popped. Immediately after hitting the last orb, I trans+demi before opening on the Doppleganger with Fury of Light, then WoTG, then Snap Cast+Thunder. Sometimes I have to wait for the next orbs to spawn before I can throw down Meteor Strike, but the burn damage helps significantly.
Granted, I could have benefited from Divine Link but the speed increase after summoning my Fallen Fairy helps to reach the orbs if I was stuck between animation locks.
So they built it basically for gun and chain if you aren't willing to waste more of your life to grind. Hydra may work as well for assistance. Otherwise, you will never make it, and you will fail. You can keep buying and using naos, and mana pots with mana shield, but good luck with the timer with a lowering rate of 0.5%-1%. All your pets besides clouds will be dead by the way.
Want to do it now? better go rank gun or chain. Otherwise take your time and if you are willing to hold it off for weeks/months until they are ranked enough. This game has climbed to require grinding like maple for a frickin storyline. A STORY LINE. In which, this isn't a storyline anymore, it's the game it'self. Where you can decide to go through with it, or continue to just play a dress up, trade, and/or music simulator. Thank you Nexon. Thanks. As if work and school does not kill enough.
Healing hands crusader sub-skill + points in divine link helped to keep the pet able to tank hits.
However, having r1 Alchemy and r1 Earth Alchemy might be important. XD
When the orbs become active, just smack em. Be sure to quickly Hide and un-Hide between each orb to reset the time the Doppel takes to detect you.
If you have a cloud, you can use it to distract the dopple. Skills with wound attacks are the most efficient in this battle, like Magnum for archery, chain, and Gunner. Even if it looks like nothing happens, just keep going and make sure to hit all 3-4 orbs each time ( it's okay to miss one or 2, just try to bring down the minions quickly then attack. Though it's always better to hit all 4). Of course if it's health really simply does not decrease at all ( say 10-15% at least) after 20-30 minutes, I suggest trying to rank a bit more.
Still took me nearly an hour, but that's bc my tactics are dodge/counter or hit-and-run - guess which I used here xD Also bc I have no enchants or reforges, too lazy for them.
I also only bothered to hit an orb or two if they were close-by, and then wrecked the clones with fireball/FH if I had it available. You're an elf, tho, so you might be able to hit them all in a reasonable time without letting its regen work too long. BUT prioritize killing the clones/preventing them from popping up - their dmg is considerably higher than the main doppel so it's more likely that THEY'LL kill you rather than the doppel.
You can switch to a wounding skillset, but I have seen people succeed in this mission with magic. If your magic is advanced enough that you just need some work, then work on getting your cc5 firebolt dmg maxed. I saw a video with a mage killing this mission on Youtube, take a look at that vid to see if this works out for you.
You can also spam Spear of God. Gets rid of prot AND it's uber high dmg! Just say goodbye to some AP to repair it.
Good luck, and enjoy the fight!
