On the bad side, it's an 8 foot radius. On the good side, Reactive Interface makes it a much better damage aura.
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.
On its own, WoC is a pretty lousy power. Besides the points Aneko made, the 1.5s confuse duration doesn't come close the the power's 4s tick rate (iirc, that # could be wrong).
The Contagious Confusion proc helps a bunch (the proc is more powerful than the confuse in the power itself, 33% chance for 10s confuse and the proc will fire every 10s in this power), and the power is often useful as a set mule. Another option is to load it with damage procs; as the power is both confuse and pbaoe dmg, it can hold quite a few.
I spec'd out of it on my fire/mm. However, I think I may give it a try on my rad/mm's next build- the difference being the rad blaster spends almost all its time in melee. With the fire blaster, I tend to 'advance' into melee range: build up, fireball, firebreath->advance while hitting aim, then Drain Psyche, PSW, RoF (this power varies in the rotation depending on circumstance).
I think it depends on playstyle and the build in question (i.e. can you fit the extra power/slots?)
Set mule for 5-6 purple confuse IOs. It would be significantly better if it triggered every 2 seconds like most other offensive auras, however it is stuck with triggering once every 4 seconds, which makes it a lot worse than it could be.
Is world of Confusion worth taking on a Son/MM. i havent heard anything good about it yet...
