Inspired by spooky, I copied almost his exact build, except that I use enchanters armor rather than rogues, and I don't have disciplined stance yet, so I run a res sig.
I was j/w what other people have tried... and what they did to make this build better.
(here's spooky's original build: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...ior-id1057.php)
My Illusionary Warrior take...
Syuveil
Slade xTekno
Have you ever tried the secondary bit he mentions at the bottom? Spirit of Failure + Distortion takes insane work, but works pretty well, especially in the Random Arenas [I've pulled it off on a Paladin, then danced until SoF ended].

This is my built
Illusionary Weaponry
Flurry
Clumsiness (so awsome against warrior and rangers works almost 100% every time does 97 with illusion at 16)
Drain Enchantment (enchat removal and also provide energy)
Energy Tap (just to annoy monk and provide yourself more energy)
Ether Feast (AWSOME ON DRAINING MONK ENERGY AND BEST PART IS THE HEALING)
Illusion of Weakness (cast before battle!! SO MANY TIMES HAVE I BEEN SAVED BY THIS)
Res signet or Conjure Phantasm
Fast Casting 6+1
Illusion Magic 12+4
Inspiration 11+1
This built is so good against warrior and ranger you'll be surprise on how fast you kill them.

Great against the typical Warrior but then I play W/N
Enjoy having IW shattered with Rend Enchantments -- standing around wanding me to death until it recharges...
Ether Feast..?? How about a nice Savage Slash/Dis Chop...
My advice to anyone thinking about IW Mesmers -- forget about being a fragile warrior imitator. Your gonna be high up on my target list ( usually 2nd ) and without the all important enchantment this build turns sour and simply can't compete toe to toe...
Instead, either:
- Go domination/inspiration for the much more effective anti-caster route ( the blue bar is more important than the red after all....)
OR
- Go with the Fragility build that's popping up everywhere and drop someone who doesn't have Hex removal in about 3 seconds...
