Mass Confusion is a Terror Witch Doctor skill unlocked at level 22. It confuses enemies, causing them to fight for the Witch Doctor for a limited time.
Contents
Background
The Witch Doctor gets into the mind of his enemies, making it hard to differentiate between friend and foe. Confused monsters will fight on the side of the heroes, for a limited time.
Skillrune Effects
The following is a very quick summary. See the Mass Confusion rune effects page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
<skill class="WitchDoctor">Mass Confusion</skill>
Skill Design
A very good skill against tough mobs, making them fight with each other whilst the Witch Doctor takes care of them from afar. However, it is unknown if there will be specific mobs who are immune to this skill, but we do know bosses won't be affected. Furthermore, it can be possible to convert a powerful creature to take care of the smaller yet still dangerous minions, ones that the Witch Doctor cannot take care of himself.
Video

Development
Mass Confusion was introduced in the WWI 2008 gameplay video when Diablo III debuted. This skill started out in the Spirit Skill Tree, and stayed there until skill trees were removed.
Beta
Skill tiers were removed shortly before the beta started in September 2011, and Mass Confusion became a level 24 skill. When the skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13 in February 2012, Mass Confusion was classified as a Terror skill and moved to level 26. For March's Beta Patch 14, Mass Confusion was moved to level 22.
