Guild Wars 2

Hello!

I am currently playing a scepter and torch mesmer. You can find my build here.

I’m using blinds as a source of confusion with the Blinding Befuddlement trait, as well as glamour spells with the Confusing Enchantments trait. What I was curious about is if the trait Dazzling Glamours works in combination with Confusing Enchantments. As in when you cast a glamour spell on an enemy, would they get confusion from both of the traits?

If not, then which trait should I get rid of, and which should replace it?

Only 1 stack will apply if you get both traits. Just get confusing enchantments to get the same confusion but only using 1 trait

Hmm, I was afraid of that. I guess I can try the trait that reduces torch cool down, and Wastrel’s Punishment seems nice.

This is not accurate.

The 2 traits work in different ways. One functions at the moment you drop the glamour (dazzling glamours). It blinds, and then confuses. Confusing enchantments, however, only functions as a boundary condition, which is the source of its strength. This does mean though, that you’ll only get a stack of confusion when your enemy crosses the boundary of the skill, not immediately when you drop it.
