Mesmer Exploit. Mistrust Bug?
Can you describe what actually hit you?
Were there any allies next to you, were you all interrupted together (overlapping mistrust), was there a magic bullet and scepter #3 plus a shatter involved?

Nope, none of that. I’m trying to find what caused the confusion in the combat log, this mesmer did it 3 times already yet I cannot find it :\
Hmm, sounds weird – especially if it happened more than once. Could be a bug.

I think it’s an exploit with Mistrust that allows to trait to do an insane amount to damage. It has to be, why go with Mistrust as a zerker Mesmer over Deceptive Evasion?
Mistrust needs to be disabled :\
I was going to record it, I have Fraps but the Mesmer left so I can’t sadly.
He only did it to me and when it was a 2v1 he just sat back letting teammate 1v1 me :\

Well there’s nothing anyone can do or say then. It’s unknown as a bug. He quite possibly maxed out some sort of confusion/blind/shatter burst on you?

With 0 condition damage? His power spike did significantly more damage than confusion.
I actually cleansed it and beat him, not before he did 90% of my health in raw invisible damage and applied 25 stacks of confusion.
I’ve fought against plenty of mesmers, all more power focused than his build and yet they didn’t even come close to spiking my health down to 50% (mainly because I avoid most of their shatter spike.)
To make things even stranger, he also used Illusions and brought Compounding Power and Phantasmal Haste. On top of Mistrust? He was no shatter spike yet his damage was beyond broken, applying an instant maxed confusion stack and doing significantly more damage than any shatter spike.

I’m just gonna requote myself
“Well there’s nothing anyone can do or say then. It’s unknown as a bug.”
Only a record will explain this properly.
But it’s possible in theory. Secpter#3 does 6stacks, F2 does 8, blind adds another 2. If Sword#4, Temporal Curtain and Mantra of Dis hit multiple enemies at once, you get additive AoE 2stacks per interrupt. Also extra stacks from other F skills. Also, mistrust doesn’t have ICD, if the mes lands AoE interrupt constantly, the stack will ramp up REALLY fast.
From the weapon set, it appears to me that the mes was really building up for AoE interrupt to create this insane AoE confusion stacking.
It’s most likely not a bug.

Except he was running Decoy, Signet of Illusions and Teleport

Weird. I’ve been meaning to try Mistrust, guess I’ll check out if I can trigger this bug myself. For science, of course. I’ll let you know.

I tried it too, unable to replicate it :\

Indeed. Might’ve just been a random fluke, or maybe it was a rare multi-target multi-rupt chaos storm? Who knows.
iWarden on a glamor field. Also generosity sigil.

Then that’s even more stack of confusion. for one, all F skills get x2 confusion stack. Trait AoE diversion. Sig of Ill will net more AoE stacks compared to Man of Dist in a short notice.
yeah, definitely not an exploit. But probably very situational.
See this tread. It might help a bit.

That thread won’t help. The videos getting 18-46 Confusion are abusing Menders who get interrupted on taking damage. Stacked Menders + AoE damage + Mistrust = all the stacks.
There’s probably a bug with that lightning shield thing from Elem when they combo it with the trait where they strike someone when they disable it.
In your case, I suspect that lightning shield to stun back the Mesmer, when he stuns you via Mirror of Anguish. And the way those effects fire off each other, it’s very possible that they apply in a loop before the cooldown on Mirror of Anguish is actually recorded.
