Dopplegangsters can go directly to heck.

Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Seriously, screw these guys. They are the absolute ruination of run after run for me, on Normal and Heroic.

    Honestly, I cant come up with a defense for this one. Dopplegangster in mercs is the one thing that peeves me more than hot potato. Basically if you dont have AoE you are nearly guaranteed to lose one merc, or lose entirely as a matter of fact.

    That move it does on the first turn has got to get nerfed to 5 or 6 speed. Currently, this one fight is a game ender, especially in heroics.

    Yes, if the duplication move were slower you could get some damage on them first, have them be cloned at lower health, and clean them up. But 90+? Seriously?

    Totally agree. I've cheesed these guys out once or twice using lucky treasure picks (+Nature damage PLUS Yu'Lon Nature bonus PLUS Malfurion's AOE) to clear them in one shot, or to nerf them with Anduin's "humans take less damage" ability. Otherwise, they always kill at least one merc, and I haven't even tried them on heroic yet.

    I once met them with the fire comp and Ragnaros having the infernal combustion treasure. He simply roasted them all away on turn two in a chain of repeated triggers. Good times.

    Otherwise agree. Say goodbye to your casters. And even fighters and protectors aren't safe which I had to learn today when I was trying the heroic Captain Shivers climb.

    I just got TPK'd by these assholes. I've lost to plenty of bounty bosses and heroic encounters, but I don't think I've ever had a TPK on NORMAL to a random encounter. Can't believe how unbalanced these guys are.

    Somehow lucked out on Heroic with Holy. Second turn, usual Velen + Anduin double Nova combo.
    Cornelius had the treasure to deal damage when attacked, and I used his protection ability on Anduin.
    They just decided to shoot Cornelius instead, so I made it through.
    I've heard Pirates make good work of them, but not many are using Pirates to climb bounties unless they have to.

    They either need to nerf the speed of the ability to ~5, or it only produces one clone.

    First party wipe in Normal mode. Ugh.
