its an elite mesmer skill that does damage in melee, regardless of weapon skill and conditions. IMO its the worst build in the game

It's an Elite (Illusion) Mesmer skill:

For 30 seconds, you deal no damage in melee, but whenever you attack in melee, target foe takes 8-40 Chaos damage.

The "IW Mesmer" is commonly a Me/W with maxxed illusion, IW, flurry and usually backed by Illusion Snares and DoTs. It's a pretty popular and reasonably effective arena build.
