So I was just messing around in hotjoin, working towards them sweet rewards boxes. Now my team was doing fairly well, but the other team had this thief that just kept bursting our squishy down. Since I was in the area and had to cap that point anyway, I went to help. By the time I get there the poor guy is downed and my mass invis is on cd. When the thief sees me approach, she uses blackpowder+HS to stealth, undoubtedly sure of her stomp. I run over and start to rez, counting the seconds. 2 seconds in, I pop diversion(I have illusionary Persona). Ally gets up, thief’s stealth wears off and we force her back. I feel like diversion is underused due to its limited use(harder to interrupt heals with than non-illusion reliant interrupts), but when the opportunity does arise to use it, it wrecks face.

So, just so there is some dialogue; Whats your favorite use of diversion? Are you a chain-dazer kind of guy or do you prefer uses it to secure a kill/rez?

Used to do long chain dazes with staggered staff clones (last one at max range). No longer works because of auto-shatter, so I simply use them to buffer and vuln a target.

I do use them while res/stomp/distracting, but I prefer using distortion for securing a stomp since diversion seems to be iffy on whether or not it actually interrupts down enemies.
