This build utilizes the amount of unavoidable damage dealt by the Mesmer enchantment spell Illusionary Weaponry in conjunction with the Ranger skills Tiger's Fury and Bestial Fury to take out other players in PvP while staying alive using the Ranger's heightened defenses and survivability skills to stay in the battle as long as possible.

Usage

 * Cast Illusion of Weakness when you spawn and use Troll Unguent if you feel like it (you should have enough time to recover if you don't, I just don't like a low health bar, it makes me feel akward).
 * Cast Illusionary Weaponry before you agro an enemy or a group then once battle has begun use Tiger's Fury and keep it up until nearly exausted and then switch to Bestial Fury and then back to Tiger's Fury etc.
 * When you are being bombarded by enemies use Whirling Defense and when you have reached the half way marker of your life bar use Troll Unguent. If totally surrounded, or when whirling defenses runs out use Throw Dirt on those pesky melee enemies.
 * Remember to keep Illusionary Weaponry up as much as possible, for it is your only way of dealing real damage.
 * Keep in mind, "You are not a tank!". Pick and choose targets carefuly, execute them, and get out of there.

Variants
The "Optional" slot can be filled with a Resurrection Signet for PvE or a backup in TA. The "Optional" slot can also be used for Dodge or another speed or defensive move.

Counters
Any Enchantment Removal. An adept Mesmer (duh).

Equipment
A sword or axe with a 20% enchanting mod and a 20/20 Illusion Magic offhand. The Totem Axe or Rajazan's Fervor are good.
