Domination

 Confounding Suggestions - Chance to inflict stun whenever you daze a target. Increased stun and daze duration.

 Dazzling - Dazing a foe also applies vulnerability.

Notes

• This skill is locked until level 15.
• Daze does not stack in duration. If multiple illusions are targeting a single opponent, the actual duration of daze depends on when each illusion shatters. As a result of this, Diversion is strongest when using a mix of ranged and melee Clones, increasing the likelihood that some impact right away while others need to spend more than 1 second running to the target, causing yet another application.
