I’m starting a Rifle Commando. We early levels right now, but when I throw a flashbang as CC, some mobs will get a faxed circle over their heads, but they still attack me. What is the confusion debug supposed to do? Also, should I use another type of grenade at later level for CC?
Thanks!
Even at max level (22/12) FB has “only” a 60% chance to confuse for 3-5 seconds.
I am guessing the white circles over their heads indicate that the defensive abillity reduction is working as intended.
Just start shooting them in the face and hit them again with FB. 
FB + Searing Light is one of the strongest debuffs in the game, and super cheap, just invest some more points into it. Also great for triggering devotion procs…
Sorry for the spellings mistakes…the first post was from my phone. lol
What I was wondering about was, what does Confusion do? Because I see the white circles appear above their head, yet they still attack me. I would have thought they’d attack each other or at least roam around until the debuff wore off.
As far as I could tell, the circle indicates confusion whereas a little broken shield hovering over their heads indicates a DA debuff. But I could be wrong.
Confusion seems pretty random in its effects. I’ve seen some mobs scatter off, others slow down or show hesitation before carrying on as usual, or even taking swings at other mobs/the atmosphere.
It’s not as obvious and uniform an effect as terror, for example.
