'''Confuse''' (or Confusion) is a [[Status Effect]]. An enemy under the effects of a Confuse power is unable to correctly distinguish friend from foe.

	Confused [[critter]]s will typically use beneficial powers on targets they normally consider enemies and harmful powers on targets they normally consider allies. (Exceptions to this include foes that have [[rez]] powers, who always use the rez power on their true allies.) Confused critters do not actually switch sides, become pets or teammates, or become controllable in any way by the thing that Confused them. Confused critters technically remain enemies to player teams and can still be targeted and affected as such, even though they won't return fire while the Confusion lasts. Attacks made by Confused critters cause no [[aggro]].		Confused [[critter]]s will typically use beneficial powers on targets they normally consider enemies and harmful powers on targets they normally consider allies. (Exceptions to this include foes that have [[rez]] powers, who always use the rez power on their true allies.) Some Confused critters will cast powers that will then effect themselves. (Example: A confused Banished Pantheon Avalanche Shaman can cast Earthquake that then makes he himself fall down.)

Confused critters technically remain enemies to player teams and can still be targeted and affected as such, even though they won't return fire while the Confusion lasts. Attacks made by Confused critters cause no [[aggro]].

	Confused player characters lose their ability to reliably target their powers. When activating a power that effects others, it will be applied to a random target within range—sometimes friend, sometimes foe—regardless of what is currently targeted. The random targeting can include teammates, [[pet]]s, critters, enemies in PvP, and allies in PvP.		Confused player characters lose their ability to reliably target their powers.

The random targeting can include teammates, [[pet]]s, critters, enemies in PvP, and allies in PvP.

	While a player or critter is Confused, all his pets and [[pseudopet]] powers (such as Rain of Fire, Ice Slick, and Force Field Generator) also act as if Confused. This happens regardless of whether they were summoned before or after the Confuse effect began, whether or not the Confuse power targeted them too, or how much [[Protection]] from Confusion they have. This behavior starts and stops on the fly every time the summoner becomes Confused or un-Confused.

If a Confused [[critter]] with a pet or pseudo-pet is defeated, the pet, if it survives the defeat of its host, will break free of the confusion and attack the player again.

However, if we replace that passer-by with a Confused enemy, experience is distributed as if the Confused helper only dealt 30 damage (1/4 of 120) and the target only had 150 Health to begin with (its real Health minus 3/4 of the confused damage, or 240 - (3/4 of 120)). Since you still dealt 120 damage, your portion of the XP will be 120 / 150, or 80%.		:'''Example:''' If an enemy has 240 Health and you and a random passer-by each do 120 damage to it, you will get half the normal experience (120 / 240).
