Confouding suggestions RNG
I’ve been running it for three months now. Overshadowed by CI and IP? YeahNo, that’s a bit of an oversimplification when it comes to assessing the builds that go behind these GM traits and why you’d take them.
I assume the reason its not 100% stun chance is because the devs feel it’d be OP. They might be right. A chain daze is devastating enough. A chain stun is GG. But sure, if you want to give me all those stuns, I’ll take it :p
^ i don’t acutally care how strong / weak you personally feel it is, randomness is bad either way. Look at Engineer transmute. 100% stun or 50%+ daze duration sounds good to me, but i don’t mind as long as the randomness goes!

Oh, so you’d be happy not running/removing the trait entirely. Randomness gone.
The thing is it’s not just pure RNG. No matter what if you daze someone you’re getting the effect of bonus daze duration. That is part of the effect of the trait. You also get the chance of that daze turning into a stun, the oh so terrible “RNG” you’re referring too.
So let’s go back to the specifics of what you just said. Your claim is that “randomness is bad either way”. So now you have to explain why in the case of CS’s 50% chance of a stun on daze that’s “bad”. What actual reasons do you have other than “It’s not assured and I think it should be”.
I agree with Ross on this one, and I’ve been running his build about a week now xD

It would be very op.
I ran a build using the confounding suggestions in a very heavy stunlock build using stuns, dazes, runes of the mesmer, and sigil of paralyzation in some pvp matches.
I had this one guy SCREAMING at me for being a hacker. I had him locked for… oh, 12 seconds or so. Some of it was daze, definitely, but a lot of it was stun too, and he was very angry with me over it lol
It’s really only good 1v1, unless you get very lucky with a chaos storm hitting several and all triggering daze→stun, but still it can be quite dangerous and entertaining.
