I'm slightly puzzled by the need for this. Back in the day I played both of the sleep powersets - an elec/elec brute and a MC/sonic controller. I found both characters great for team play including task/strike force - but nearly useless in raids or against GMs. The Brute was able to use the sleeps and stuns of that set to just take jabs and switch target in a mob - building fury while keeping the minions quite as she focused on the harder targets. The MC controller was more powerful at locking mobs down entirely. A Rikti mosh pit was pointless - just tossing meager damage out there hoping to score back a share of the XP on anything. But regular teammates learned how to work with it, slice out their targets, point their cone attacks outward, etc. Maybe I'll remake Volt Tess on the test server, see if I remember enough to see any differences. I do get that those sets with just a single sleep power makes it really hard to want. For those powers, this might make them interesting to play. Gives me hope that cage powers will see some thoughtful developer luv in the future.
