I just made a PvP char for the hell of it. Help me improve my build plz...
16 Illusion
12 tactics
llusionary Weaponry {Elite}
Distortion
Arcane Echo
Healing signet
REz sig
Flurry
Illusion of weakness
I can last pretty long with Distortion and healing sig combo unless i get heavily nuked by ele.Beaten all the noob wars who rush after me but i think i still lack dmg tho.
I use staff in the beginning for 20% longer enchantment and extra energy boost. I use arcane echo before IW, just incase my enchantment gets stripe and I wont have down time.
My questions are the following:
1. Does IW get affected by conditions such as weakness and blind?(I dont think its affected by blind but I think Weakness still affects me...)
2. What spells should l replace with other spells in order to increase my dmg?
3.Can IW be still effective without Furry?( thinking about changing 2nd prof to ranger or Ele or monk or necro...so many choices....)
IW build question.(Noob in need of helpin hand)
Catch-22

Clumsiness is a decent piece of damage for illusion-heavy ppl.
If you wanted to gain mana from distortion, Spirit of Failure works well.
Otherwise, use Soothing Images and Sympathetic visage to reduce the damage warriors do. Sympathetic is good because even if you're not attacking a warrior, you still deny them the 3 energy when you get hit (since you're in melee range).
Alternatively, look at the other touch-range mesmer skills and plug them in.

SV only triggers on a melee hit to you, thus is only useful vs warriors, but it makes a good cover hex and can help the team if anyone has wars on it... drop arcane echo and pick up clumsiness too. Blackout is considered excellent for IW, so not a bad idea to get that... touch range lockdown.
Might want a diff secondary, i always liked using deadly riposte with IW if i had high tactics, not much use vs anything but warriors though.
