It is NOT intended to work that way. I have had trouble with my EC/elec dominator having mission allies (like Overdrive in tip missions) attack my dom, but somebody told me that was a known bug.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
It depends on the enemy.
It seems the power has been coded to provide the graphical effect of confusion (the purple cloud) even if the Magnititude of confuse protection has not been overcome.
So a low level dom may experience this against a few different lieutenant class critters in Praetoria, and a few in CoX content too, as well as Bosses/EBs/AVs Theres every appearance that the enemy is confused, and its annoying, it seems to le tyou know which was the anchor of your confuse. It got me killed alot in early use before I figured out what was happening.
However the enemies affected by the arc should only ever get the purple cloud if they have been sufficiently magged with confuse for it to take effect.
So... I can explain why the anchor attacked you, but not the other dude, unless you took his alpha just before the confuse kicked in.

the synaptic overload puts a confuse symbol on everything it hits because its still applying the -recov and -end portions of the power as well
its only a mag 3 confuse so it wont affect higher than a boss unless domination is up and its the first target in the chain, but it will still show the confuse symbols because of the -recov/end portions of the power

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
