[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7952617, member: 6895991"] I would say lair action works, especially since one of the possible lair actions of many boss mobs is to shrug of a spell in chosing to pass a botched save (which is intended imho for just that kind of situation). So, if it is possible to use this specific lair action, it should be possible to use any lair action, although like [USER=83242]@dave2008[/USER] stated further up, he would rule it to use that "pass the save" action if it has the choice to do so. This also makes sense in so far, that from a tactical view (and you have to play boss mobs as being very tactical, especially if solo and only relying on their lair as reinforcement) it makes most sense for the mob to get rid of heavy debuffers with priority, and the confusion spell being one of these. For those arguing on the confusion spell being a wasted resource then, think about that the boss mob has to use one of his lair actions on cancelling, which is eventually better, than it using e.g. the heavy damage AE as their lair action instead.
