Guild Wars 2

What is the maximum condition duration on Confusion?
Lets whip out the calculator and have a looksy!

Base time is 4 seconds via Cry of Frustration
4 Seconds

and…

+33% longer via Master of Misdirection
5.32 Seconds(4*.33=1.32)

and…

+30% condition duration via Domination
6.916 Seconds(5.32*.30=1.596)

and…

Nightmare Rune Set
+10% condition duration
6.8156 Seconds (6.196*.10=.6196)

and…

Veggie Pizza
+16% condition duration
7.9060906 Seconds (6.8156*.16=1.090496)

If all of the above is correct and the times stack:
7.9060906 is the Longest possible Confusion Duration.

Let me know if I missed something that lengthens condition duration!

Phantasmal Mage’s confusion lasts 9 seconds, base. Does that count?

Confusion is too hard to stack for this to be relevant.

Longest Condition Duration combination is not full nightmare Runes.

It is 2 Runes of Lyssa + Remaining nightmare runes for a total of +20% condition duration from runes.

Traited cry of frustration at melee range with full illusions line is 8 stacks, this can immediately be comboed with any etherial field combinations from allies for more, not including scepter usage.

Nightmare runes have bugged tooltip. They provide +6% and +14% for 2/6 and 4/6, meaning you can get +30% duration from runes in total.

It’s 40% from food, not 16%, and the bonuses are almost certainly additive, not multiplicative.

I wish we could stack it with scepter like our pro trident clones stack it underwater. 20-25 stacks under time warp?
No problem, sweetheart!

You missed that duration increasing talents stack additively and not multiplicatively.

1 + (.33 + .30 + .16 + .10) = 7.56 seconds

Does the same apply to confusion applied via ethereal field + projectile finisher?
