I gotta answer this one. Yep, in the normal course of things (when you ain't getting pummeled) its pretty much unused apart from containing the badduns for anchoring or debuffing.
This next bit is theoretical cause I respected out of CF before I got wormhole.
Wormhole(what a great power) has mentioned a few times here. You wanna get rid of a troublesome group for while? Hit em with crushing field, then spark up wormhole and throw them as far as they will go. If you slot CF well they can be out of the picture for a long time. I think I'm right in saying the CF has a much longer duration than WH's disorient.
Yes, you might take a bit of damage before WH kicks it but not for long.
If anyone has CF and WH and gets a chance to do this, let me know.
For Storm secondaries there is another use to put CF. For my money, Hurricane is one of the best herders/containers in the game. You gotta be careful with it, but use it right and it is simply staggering.
The hardest thing to do is keeping the mobs still while you do it.
You wanna herd a bunch into that corner? If they are bunched up so CF can grab most of em, hit them with CF, move in and start knockingback or just repelling them back to the corner. Once they are against the wall most won't be able to stand up and if they can the debuff with the 'cane will knock there accurancy all over the place.
I have used this tactic very well against every villain type so far (I'm lvl 28). 3 lvls above me and it still works very well. It'll take bosses and LT's without to much bother. Obviously the Bosses are harder to overcome but the acc debuff is still there.
