How to deal with confuse as support conjurer

Yes, the rest of the post proves it quite good.

DI each other. if you want to have 2 targets buffed with DI all the time, you need lvl 5, with lvl 4 there would be a hole of 10s, which is probably not that risky
Use dispell. Most conjurers have dispell lvl 3 or 4 but that is already quite a high success chance. Bind it to a key where you tend to have a very fast reaction and use it all the time.

You suggest every conju should have the same anti-confuse setup, reducing conjurers ability to heal and give other buffs, only due to ONE stupid spell?
C:/>ongtulati.ons.

Keep buffed permanently. arcane devotion, energy barrier are absolutely needed, and a lvl 5 mind blank can prove very useful too, if the hunter trys to use ambush first or if he uses ambush after a successful confuse to prevent you from running away from his pet. try to stick to your group closely. Tell people to wait if you start to fall behind because of buffing.

Irrelevant. This doesn't depend on conjurer. People hardly give a f*** about mages falling behind. I could only name a few that do, warriors mostly.

Be aware of your environment, turn your camera frequently

Mhmm, and maybe you will be able to spot hunter under camo...

Most hunters I see these days are using pets again. And the moment the hunter starts to cast, his pet becomes visible. This actually leaves enough time to cast either steel skin or sanctuary, provided that you have absolutely no lag...

...assuming you have big bunch of luck, and hunter attacking you is total noob, yes, you can make it.

you are not casting something else at that time and your arcane devotion is running. The choice should basically depend on two questions: If you are fighting, and auras like greater healing + mana pylon are running, I would tend to use steel skin and risk being confused (more on this topic in point c) ). Otherwise sanctuary would be the better choice imo, since it has less cooldowns and still allows you to heal other people better against focus fire.[*] Notice that you can use mana pylon with sanctuary still running .... use it if your healing output would be otherwise too low to keep everybody alive.

Yeah, and when it comes to REAL fight you will have all these, very useful, high lvl spells on CD, so you'll die from few normal hits. Support conjurer...

What to do when sanctuary runs out and the threat is still there? If you have put enough points into mental (I can't afford them myself -.-), use will domain. The 1s cast time combined with the surprise moment since the hunter does not know when your sanctuary expires (he could hit confuse all the time but then he can't do anything else anymore) will probably make sure that you can knock him down before he can do anything.

Yeah, sure, hunter surely will be dumb enough not to cast his buffs while you're on sanct.

I really have not enough patience point ATM, so i'll stop here, cause commenting whole your post would make me drown in an ocean of sarcasm.
Now, I can be flooded with red karmas again, but i have to say it. What you propose is to subordinate all gameplay to counter ONE spell, which is utter bullshit. I can only agree that confuse is dangerous in combos or with pet, but this is the point. Hunter can't have it.

Off topic. Stop quoting whole post when you add only one sentence.
Could admins, please, make a warning to DM for such behaviour?
