The doppelganger doesn’t have a typical weapon attack in its stat block, which I assume is because most doppelgangers won’t typically be equipped with weapons (in the way that orcs are generally equipped with greataxes and javelins).
What is a slam attack?
A slam attack is basically a very forceful, blunt, body attack. Picture a zombie attacking, it’s not going to punch you. It’s going to slowly and methodically hit you with it’s arms, or headbutt.
What are the four operation modes of the slam?
SLAM has four operating modes: bottom-attack, side-attack, timed-demolition and operator-initiated mode.
What kind of weapon does the doppelganger use?
The doppelganger will use a melee weapon when in melee range and a ranged weapon when not in melee range. This prevents kiting, but does mean that if you’re in melee range and use a ranged weapon, the doppelganger will use a melee weapon, and will be unable to use ranged weapon skills.
What kind of weapon does a melee attack use?
Melee Attacks. Used in hand-to-hand combat, a melee attack allows you to attack a foe within your reach. A melee attack typically uses a handheld weapon such as a sword, a warhammer, or an axe. A typical monster makes a melee attack when it strikes with its claws, horns, teeth, tentacles, or other body part.
How to stop doppelganger from doing too much damage?
Hindering its damage dealing ability may be of great help, as you do not have as high armor as other professions have. Blinding Flash or Blinding Surge is a good option to stop it from dealing too much damage with attacking, though it will still do far more damage with spells than you.
What to do when you get doppelganger in Guildwars?
Get the Doppelganger to cast Life Attunement to dramatically reduce damage from its attacks. In Hard Mode, the AI will force the Doppelganger to use Healing Breeze. Use Retribution, Shield of Judgment, Scourge Enchantment, and Restful Breeze. Cast Retribution before the battle and leave it up for the entire battle.
