Coercive Persuasion: Contagious Confusion question

[Williwaw]

So, in the vein of this topic, I have a question about exactly how this works.  Is it actually "contagious", affecting enemies around the target, or just a chance for additional magnitude on the main target?

[Zumberge]

Understandable.  The description says something like "33% chance of causing confusion," but that doesn't actually say much.  What it does is that, every time a confusion power hits an enemy, there is a one-in-three chance that the proc causes an additional mag-2 confuse AoE centered on that enemy, also affecting them.  So you could put it in Deceive or Possess and there's a 33% chance that, outside of Domination, you can confuse bosses with one shot as well as nearby minions.

 

Or you can put it in an AoE confuse and guarantee that it goes off several times with overlap, effectively confusing the entire mob you're targeting.  Including bosses.

 

So it's pretty good, yeah.

I was planning on putting it in Mass Confusion, so... yeah, that sounds like exactly what I was hoping it'd do.

 

Thank you!
