You have your infinite stealth I have my confusion
You have your ele speed I have my confusion
You have your op pet I have my confusion
You have your infinite buffs I have my confusion
Lately people have been complaining about confusion. For a mesmer they rely on this to counter classes that are too op to take down.
Thieves for example, with confusion on they’ll think twice before attacking in stealth.
Ele’s won’t just start spamming their attunement and just win.
This deterant is the only thing keeping us on par with these op classes. This keeps them on their toes and keep them thinking. Not just a mindless button spammer.

No.

um this isn’t a “let me get this since i they have it too post” I’m trying to say not to nerf confusion due to players complaining about it. It’s also a skill that’s unique to mesmers like how ride the lightning is to ele’s and infinite stealth to thief..etc.

The worst thing about confusion is wanting to remove it and you end up removing 2 stacks of vulnerability. Condition removal priority would be kinda cool.

Id love to have that. I’d get rid of that bramble bind that won’t let me move. That thing honestly kills me more than anything….other than cripple

It’s actually pretty dumb that an Ele takes damage for attunement swap when other classes don’t take damage for weapon swap.

It’s also pretty dumb you take damage for dodge rolling if traited to do x/y/z action on dodge.

It’s okay though, mesmers are still easy to kill.

The worst thing about confusion is the following:
Thief at 30% health with 12 stacks of confusion. Decides to use a heal regardless.
Confusion pops -> falls below 25% hp -> last refuge pops -> confusion pops -> thief is dead.
Just why does confusion proc on triggered effects of traits? It’s just BS because you can’t even control whether they will proc.

The only crime, turrets committed, is being good against the celestial meta.

I agree that confusion is fine.. But as to it being a Mesmers only option to keep an edge-just no. I would be ok if they removed the confusion triggering on traits effect though.

One thing that should also be looked at is the effect of confusion on Ele’s tornado. As funny as it is when I confusing images one and they go 100% to 0 instantly, it’s not quite fair – and this is with a low condition damage doing only 600ish a tick.

Confusion is fine in general, it should do the same damage per hit etc. However, like others are saying, it should only proc whenever someone uses an active skill that deals damage or applies a condition. Then it would actually have the effect of being something you had to be aware of and use skills wisely, which seemed like the design, rather than “remove or deal with it”. If it turns out Mesmers are less viable with such a change, other aspects of the class should be buffed accordingly to compensate. Simple as that.

Confusion shouldnt stack in intensity its just prevently people from using any skill not to instant die and its way OP game mechanism without any counter than cleanse that is not able to remove it in first place if needed. Even if cleanse you get confused again immediately.
Game need somehow to counter or prevent the confusion stacks at its current mechanism or nerf it hard.

You have your ele speed I have my confusion

warrior is faster than ele (thieves are faster than both).
Mesmer can get permaswiftness (i actually have on my mesmer)

Using runes is part of the build like traiting for speed…..

Mesmer have:
-portals
-veil
-feedback
-confusion

Quite a lot….

GW2 balance:
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.
