To start with, Kui obviously understands that the key to pumping out damage with an IW build lies in the swing rate.  He’s found a nice sword and he’s well versed enough in the mysterious of IW to not even bother to tell me its damage or attribute requirement.  They don’t matter, because whatever they are it’s going to increase his attack speed significantly - +10% speed is the highest I’ve heard of lately – and the penalty for that is a hit to critcals which doesn’t matter with Illusionary Weaponry.  The +4AL bonus should work even while enchanted with IW making his sword both a slicing and dicing machine and a weak, secondary shield.  Coupled with a decent shield that’s going a long way to make up for the naturally weaker Mesmer armor.
