looks like that.. so thats the alternative to permacaging with the added effect you CAN attack the target now. ill/therm starting to look nastier and nastier now 
. Perma-confuse, melt armor.. ouch

brutes are gonna be scary now 
wow. i should read these forums more :P didnt know about any of this new stuff lol
Mind/FF for team pvp 
force bubble and mass confussion, seems a bit lol on closed maps
What kind of mag/duration can confuse get?

Total Inferno Ice Blast/Thermal/Leviathan Corruptor
Both ST and AOE confuse are mag3 according to mids, and with a purple set they last for 76,7 secs
Single target confuse I guess would be very annoying but mass confusion wont be of any use against a decent team

That's why I said force bubble and closed maps tho
If all grouped together for an AoE confuse . . then they are close enough to buff each other and given most decent teams will have 2 of sonic/emp/thermal wouldnt make a lot of difference . . .

Better than cage for someone who has no BFs. They're probably gonna have to introduce suppression soon.

You cant kill a caged player. Confused player is pretty helpless to any punishment. Personally this sounds a tad overpowered on first look, but difficult to say for sure. I assume confuse suppression should be on way soon.
Im especially worried about lack of confuse protection in selfpowers, I think theres only few buffs heroside that give that. I believe most melee toons have very good prot against holds but not so against confuse.. Now that it has 100% guaranteed effect it becomes scary.
Although Ive been away from game so what do I know.

a Lot. Seeing as the power recharged in about <10 secs iirc.. At least the power boost nerf helps confuse victims here a bit.
I find all this... interesting. As I happen to own a mind/energy dominator I didnt bother to level all the way before I left.
ps. Tactics offers confuse resistance, not protection.
pps. Two confuses with domination stack over one clear mind or clarity according to city of data.
Well if anyones up for it how about running a few tests on defiant i can use my mind/emp which has the confuse slotted with 5 purples.
btw Id be all for complete revamp of pvp as long as it would indeed be complete. So far devs tend to do things small pieces at a time though... with months in between.
Castle's said Suppression's coming.
The problem with a complete revamp or major changes is that it takes a lot of work to do and you have to be certain it works. Peoples opinions differ on whether the current game needs it or not too. I'm quite happy with minor tweaks every so often because they are moving things in the right direction.
I used to think that ( only resistance ) but :
Tactics :
* RES(Confused, Terrorized) +75.688% for 0.75s [Non-resistable]
Effect does not stack from same caster
* -6.488 Confused for 0.75s [Non-resistable]
From city of data.
By the way, confuse is suppressed now.

That means that on a duel, a confused toon cannot attack at all?
