I am not sure if this was intended or whether it was a bug that has gone unnoticed. There is massive discrepancy of the confusion damage based on the game mode. Below i have attached 4 screenshots. First two highlight the Confusion damage in PvE the last 2 highlights the Confusion damage in WvW. As you will see, the confusion damage in WvW is half that of PvE. Bare in mind i have only recently started playing this game. Therefore i am unsure if there was an update for this behavior.

Edit: sorry i have no idea how to get the thumbnail to show up, i followed the instruction as per “Examples of BBCode” but it doesn’t seem to work.

Edit2: The thumbnail generated by imgbox was incredibly small, instead i have linked directly to the screenshots.

It is intended to do half in WvW.

The AI in PvE attack very slowly, where as in WvW players execute actions much faster.

The damage is adjusted to compensate.

ALL IS VAIN.
PvP modes are the “endgame” in every MMO.
Stop failing at PvE, start fixing PvP/WvW. Thank you.

Yep confusion damage is halved in WvW/PvP. It does mean your confusion damage is pitifully weak against NPCs, of which there are many, in WvW.
