Notes

• This is a completely fictional class made up for a competition.
• During the Guild Wars Factions Preview Event, Senji gave new characters a secondary profession.
• The idea is based around a new expansion taking us to Cantha.
• A Doppelganger is the only class in the game that can steal terrestrial skill bars.
• Balance is not a focus in this build it is set up just for pure amusement.

Trivia

• Doppelganger was created as a competition entry for the Mythological Guild competition to design an elite skill.
• I feel it would be fun to have a class in the game that take on the skills of the other classes and what better way to do that than to clone them.
• Mesmer was obviously my first choice for this Elite specialisation but felt it was already doing to well in the game and as the skills can also be considered as stolen I thought it would be nice to give us all a reason to spend more time experimenting with Thief.
• Please excuse my poor wiki codes I have not been on here since 2012 and am a little rusty to say the least.
