Me/D Mystic IW

The Me/D Mystic IW is a PvP build that uses Illusionary Weaponry to deal armor ignoring damage coupled with Dervish Earth and Wind prayers for increased attack rate and protection. High health regeneration and deterants from Earth Prayers defend the IW Mesmer, while Wind Prayers allow the mesmer to attack 25% faster with a Sword or Axe and quickly heal.
