I find confusion just doesn't do enough at lvl 1 for 6mp, compared to what you can get for 4mp. It feels like a waste of mp whenever I try. The only boss you can't kite from easily, the archer, dies so fast to discord 2.
We will just have to disagree on shroud of wind, imo it doesn't give much value early game compared to more LB2 killing everything.
Happy new year to you as well :)
