Guild Wars 2

I’ve had 2 fights recently where my opponent was stacking confusion on me, and I couldn’t work out how.

The first was with a thief, and he put 8 stacks on me in a couple of seconds. I cleared them and he immediately put 9 more stacks on me.

The second was a hammer warrior and he put 8 stacks on me very quickly (seemed more or less instant).

I don’t see this happen in PvP so I am assuming it is a food or a PvE rune/sigil. I am also assuming it is broken. Can someone confirm to me that it is a bug and show me Anet’s response, please?

Sounds like you got hit by perplexity runes. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rune_of_Perplexity
There’s a big discussion here

Yeah, sounds like perplexity runes alright. I don’t think they’re changing them soon because they promised they’re not changing anything in WvW until the end of season 1, except for living world content which is exempt from this promise apparently/obviously.
