I know I don't do dmg in melee w/ illusionary weapon but if I use a hit that interrupts a targets action will that still occur?

Unlikely i'm gonna guess, if for example you used pin down or whatever that ranger skill I assume it wouldn't pin them down because your bow/arrow doesn't actually hit them the illusionary weapon does

See this discussion http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...w-2-id1174.php for an explanation of how IW works.

The example given with Pin Down is silly, because IW only works with melee anyway.

so savage stash would work.... interesting. i will have to give this build another look.

Something I still don't understand is can you have hundred blades and IW on your skillbar... aren't they both elite skills?

Tthat might have been an old build then, hundred blades didn't use to be an elite.

I think they have changed it since that build. I have tried using savage stash and the other disrupting hit. Both of them failed to interrupts while using IW. It makes sense though because IW is already extremely strong even w/o this.

I followed the guide on that above link a while back and brought my IW Me/W to lvl18 before being disappointed:

(1) 100 blades is now elite (IW is already elite so thats 50% of dmg potential)
(2) Where the heck are +10% speed, -25% critical hit weapons? -Nobody- has seen them
(3) Anecdotal evidence is : IW is a novelty, and easily shutdownable too

You still can use IW and HB together... just not as easy as before =/

Take hundred blade as elite and use arcane mimicry to copy your IW partner's IW... there goes more HB IW =P

I think it hurts that IW can't interrupt. I know in chasing down a monk interrupts are huge although I can still do it if my IW warrior can drain energy also. IW can be shut down, but I don't notice people breaking my enchant that much. When they do normally I just become a ranged fighter using conjure phantasm and draining energy.
