Haven’t really given much attention to my Mesmer lately – he was my first character, but when I got him to 80 I decided I didn’t really care for PvE and that I’d make him my PvP character… but I haven’t even done that very much; I’m only rank 9.

I do remember that I liked having a confusion build in PvE, but then switched to a shatter crit build for PvP. But I got bored with that, and I want to know if confusion builds are viable in sPvP, and if so, what’s a good starting point for one?

Ya pve mobs tend not to give a kitten about confusion, however I would argue that there are still use for it in pvp, lots of condi builds out atm. Increased duration,proc on blind, that sort of thing, try one of the build under any of the torment threads. Not the most viable team builds but super fun.

Confusion is absolutely terrible for PvE, which is really sad because it’s one of our unique mechanics.

The issue is that the duration on it is so short and mobs attack very slowly. You’ll never notice how slowly mobs attack until you try a confusion build in PvE.

“Ha! I just applied 300,000 stacks of confusion on you! There’s no way you’ll survive!”
Confusion wears off before mob makes it’s next attack.
