== General Information ==
Class: [[Burglar]]

Level: 66

This skill replaces {{:Riddle|mode=imlink}}.

== Effects ==
Using this skill applies {{:Dazed|mode=imlink}} on the enemy target for 30 seconds. This effect is broken on any damage.

== Trait Interactions ==
*The set bonus {{:Joke with Legs|mode=imlink}} in [[the Mischief-maker]] trait tree reduces the cooldown of this skill by 30 seconds.<br>
*The set bonus {{:Confound the Fools|mode=imlink}} in [[the Mischief-maker]] trait tree increases the duration of '''{{:Dazed|mode=link}}''' by 5 seconds and makes this skill have a grace period of 5 seconds.<br>

== Tracery Interactions ==
*[[Item:Riddle Range|Riddle Range]] increases the range of this skill by up to 22m.<br>

== Armour Set Interactions ==
Equipping 2 pieces of the [[Umbari Armour of Twisted Ways]] armour set acquired from the [[Depths of Mâkhda Khorbo]] Raid reduces the cooldown of this skill by 5 seconds.<br>
Equipping 6 pieces of the [[Umbari Armour of Twisted Ways]] armour set makes {{:Sudden Diversion|mode=imlink}} reset the active cooldown of this skill.

== Tactical Information ==
This is one of the major crowd-control skills of the [[Burglar]]. It can also be used as an interruption skill (if {{:Addle|mode=link}} is on cooldown). Keep in mind that DoTs on an enemy will break the {{:Dazed|mode=link}}, so be careful when you apply this skill.

== Lore ==
This skill is a direct reference to ''The Hobbit'', J.R.R. Tolkien's prequel to ''The Lord of the Rings''. In two cases, Bilbo kept a very dangerous opponent at bay by engaging it in riddles: both Gollum, and the dragon Smaug. In Gollum's case, the riddle-game was his idea, but the point still stands that Bilbo was quite good at them himself.
