I have noticed that confused enemies in turn based never attack each other. Anyone else noticed this? I have casted bewildering spectable and confusion many times and I never see them fighting each other.

Confused in POE is different from what most people think of from other games. It doesn't mean they'll target each other directly (that's Charmed), but rather that all their abilities affect both allies and enemies. It's also -5 to Int, so useful against casters.

oh wow. did not know that, thanks!

Correct. Confused is the lowerst tier of inteligence afflictions.

Tier 1: Confused: -5 intellect and all of their abilities are friend and foe

 

Tier 2: Charmed: -5 Intellect. They turn on their allies but uses only basic attack.

 

Tier 3: Dominated: as above but uses abilities as normal.
