I like this build because I've never seen a build designed around Ogre-Slaying Knife before. I thought up the begginning to this build when I dropped an Ogre-Slaying Knife and couldn't get rid of it. This build would rely on illusionary weaponry and frenzy with an equipped Ogre-Slaying Knife. I was thinking warrior as a primary so the guy could live in melee combat for any amount of time. Any suggestions to Armor/Off-hand or shield/other skills?
Question: Could this build benefit from Hundred Blades (would each attack count or only the first?)

The Knife would be inferior to other Swords and Axes because it can't have a +20% enchant mod. (The Knife does not attack faster, contrary to popular opinion.) Someone else would have to bring along Hundred Blades if you wanted to use it, and then you'd have to use Arcane Mimicry, but yes, both attacks would count.

Honestly, though... if you want to do melee damage, just go Warrior without IW - you'll do more damage. If you want to be a Mesmer, don't use IW except for soloing maybe.

Also, Hundred Blades became Elite solely because IW and HB owned too much. Now they both suck...
