Guild Wars 2

Since last patch warriors get access to this trait:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Distracting_Strikes

Seeing how easy it is for a warrior to spam CCs it can be assumed, that the trait triggers a fair amount per fight.

Now comparing the 8s base duration of Distraction Strikes to our confusion:

Skills:
Chaos Armor – 3s
Confusion Images – 5s
Phantasmal Mage – 3s
Illusionary Whaler – 3s
Cry of Frustration – 3s
Mind Blast (Downed #1) – 5s

Traits:
Blinding Befuddlement – 4s
Confusing Combatants – 3s
Confusing Enchantments – 4s
Illusionary Retribution – 3s

Since we are supposed to be the “confusion” class i would suggest to increase mesmer confusion duration across the board by at least 1, if not 2, seconds.

i agree with you, confusion is supposed to be the classes forte, but it falls off too quickly to do more than a few hundred damage (even with 25 stacks of might and all rabid gear, as well as a build for confusion.)
