No kidding, all the dancing around the the fleshbeast gives you twitchy fingers and then you still kind of do it around those fear guys because of habit and you just make one mistake of stepping into your split personality…
Blizzard: “Ooh, I heard you liked repeatedly being stunned, feared, and disoriented for 10 seconds.”
There’s those dumb double informant packs that can be similar. The continual stun/fear/disorient combos are the only thing that kills me in visions any more, since I’m so fed up with farming mementos that I rush as fast as possible and end up making mistakes.
I pretty much just purposely run into split personalities now when not in combat instead of going to some open area and waiting so I can navigate through the opening instead of it being walled off. It’s quicker to just be disoriented than to wait for the splits to go away. The sanity loss from your pools is not a big deal.
At the very start of the Mage District (upon first entering), take your time at the end of the tunnel clearing the Crawling Corruption
(the adds that roam around). Spending a little time will pay off later by decreasing the amount running around.
Also, you might try using some new routes. Use the shortcuts that you can cut through to go and take some easy things while your timers are waiting.
