Rune of Tormenting or Rune of Perplexity?
They’re pretty comparable really. Perplexity gives you some extra pressure on interrupt with the confusion while tormenting extends the duration of your normal MtD torment.
It really ends up depending on the particular build you’re facing. If they don’t have enough condie clear, tormenting runes will make MtD and the scepter block last ludicrously long. However, all that extra duration is worthless if they’re cleansing regularly. In that case, perplexity is better because it gives you a bit more spike application on interrupt.

Perplexity was reworked relatively recently. Aoe confusion on heal instead of interrupt now.
I’d go with tormenting, especially if you are using scepter, as mesmer already has 33% increased confusion duration on their illusions line.

Welp, shows how much I’ve been paying attention lately.
If you only care about the duration bonuses, then 4x rune of the nightmare + 2x rune of the trapper might be worth considering.
Perplexity’s Lower CD and Passive proc Make it better then Tormenting.
Tormenting runes give you 15% more duration increase whereas Perplexity has the 3 stack passive proc. The passive proc of perplexity runes is better so go for that for maximum cancer.
Warning: since perplexity runes had the interrupt bonus removed it’s now as boring to use as every other rune set. You might fall asleep at your computer.

I agree with adelaide, tormenting with the 33% minor to confusion in illusions means you sit on 53% for confusion and 65% for torment assuming just runes and food.
Taking perplexity instead puts you on 83% confusion duration but only 20% torment duration so essentially people can stand still and then cleanse all your confusion easily once the torment wears off after a few seconds.

Confusion is the one that needs the most help with 3 seconds base on shatter vrs 6 for tormenting.
Strength Runes. And Zerk. And Manly demeanor.
Make dad proud beautilation, show him you can make it in the world(vW).
