IW mesmers are too easy to counter... I wouldn't play them in the first place...

meh, my mate plays iw, and he owns a lot of people, mainly i think because he does it subtly. it only takes 6.5 seconds for him to kill, so he can weave his way around crap like nr, and the long downtime is spent doing other stuff of mesmery use. Its just another one of those mesmer things, quite hard to play. No longer can you go suicide and cast right in front of em, its just asking for it.

and its a pve build, counters dont come into it

My IW mes do alot of dueling in competition arena and i have to say its really awsome and kind of like anti war since it does 42 chaos damage. My mes is both illusion at 16 and inspiration at 12 whenever you are facing monk you can simply drain their energy and when you need to heal i rely on ether feast (the 8 sec recharge isnt so slow) But when you are facing war and other class i use IW and Flurry, kill so fast they wont even know what hit them.

sessh0umaru: Is this the random arena or organized play?

IW in PvP is pretty frigging fragile. Its main damage source relies on one enchantment that is elite and has a long recharge time. That makes it just begging to be stripped. Whenever I see a Me/W the first thing he gets when he runs at me is a shatter enchantment spell. You can counter that a little with a cover enchant, but there aren't all that many covers in the Illusion line. And even then a Rend will ruin all that. PvE is another matter, you can plan around the mobs that shatter somewhat, and can spare the space ontthe skill bar for a cover enchantment too. Also Rend seems fairly uncommon on PvE enemies.

IW in PvP = dead. As stated before, any right minded team will carry some form of enchantment removal and if a IW gets hit, it's over. Another thing that IW users generally argue is the use of "buffer" enchantments but let's be realistic here. Outside from illusion of weakness, everything else is not usable. The recharge rates are either too long or the cost too much to consistently spam to protect illusionary weapon.
