Leadership & confusion question

I was wondering.

1) Do leadership powers buff confused targets.

2) Does Tactics give confuse resistance to confused targets which, in turn, will truncate the confusion duration?

Thanks for any help you might have with these questions.

leadership buffs will only affect you, your pets, and your team, and any other NPC pets that are combat pets

enemies running leaderships will continue to buff the other enemies even when confused

tactics will always buff you and allies even if your confused

Becareful though, there is one leadership buff that prevents confusion, oddly enough it is tactics, so when you take on a Longbow boss running tactics don't think you are going to confuse them that easily, they already have Mag 3 protection on top of another 3.5 confuse protection (which goes to all of his allies as well) from tactics giving him Mag 6.5 protection and some confuse resistance to make the duration shorter for him and his allies.

Just to be honest on my Mind/Energy permadom, I use mass hypnopsis to put everybody asleep, hold the boss, and then mass confusion, then throw in a couple of AoE attacks for some easy money and drops

In short, it's not worth it to try to take advantage of a boss running tactics, it is only going to hurt you in the long run, other ones like Assault and Maneuvers are great to have.

That makes sense. I was actually thinking of my own leadership powers though and whether they would be buffing my confused foes.

your leadership powers wouldnt buff the confused enemy because the confused enemy still is considered an enemy to you (hence they have orange box and attackable)
