Um, some skills would be nice, are you going for an Illusionary Weaponry build? And what exactly is this build for? Arena, PvP, etc.?

10 FS, 14 illusion(12+1 hat+1 minor) and 8 tacts

Illusion Weaponry over normal use...Or -8 Tacts +8 Domination, Dominate and rush in with flurry+iw = 80 damage or so per sec? only backhit of this build is the low defence, groups may hurt a ton, and progressive loads of degen can really hurt, also a monk with high healing capabilities makes it hard unless u use arcane conondrum(reccomendeD), to hurt him bad...

Swordsmanship = useless for mesmer, dont use it, use something more worthwhile

Generally you will need 16 in illusion for a decent IW build.

You will want to remove Swordsmanship altogether, in fact don't put anything into any weapon since you do no true melee damage. The damage is in fact chaos damage based on the illusionary weapon spell and has nothing to do with your weapon ability.

Go with:

12 Illusion (11 +1 for Mask)
10 Domination
10 Inspiration
? whatever is left to FC

Take these:

Conjure Phantasm
Illusionary Weaponry
Flurry
Imagined Burden (or Ethereal Burden)
Blackout
Arcane Conundrum
Hex Breaker
Rez Signet

This is IMHO a pretty good build for IW. You can hit a caster or monk with AC to slow their spellcasting. You can hit your target with IB/EB to slow them, turn on IW, then rush up and beat them to death with flurry. I'd hit Flurry then Blackout and they'll be unable to do a damn thing but die. You'll be somewhat safe behind Hex Breaker.

Good luck!
