Basically the same. The defender version of Sleet has the wrong (corruptor) values, but they should be the same.

Rather arbitrary, many tier selections are. A lot of people still think it has to do with how powerful something is, but that is very much not true across the board. |

Explosive Blast and Explosive Arrow are another example. Same power, and the sets are set up the same, but Explosive Blast comes far later. Flash, in the Illusion set, comes earlier than other PBAOE holds, as another example.
I pick those two examples in part because perception of those powers by many people are based on when the power is acquired.
Personally (and I realize this will likely never happen), I'd redo the power order of many sets to make things more useful. Sleet is one such power, than while a great power, is more useful early than it is late, due to being decent control and providing a solid -def debuff.
I agree with the previous poster about arbitrary tiers. Sonic set started with clarity being available very early.
I also think Freezing Rain/Sleet is the developmentally most significant power for both cold and storm. Remember you cannot slot for -resist other than procs.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
From the description and values, it sounds as if Sleet and Freezing Rain are basically the same power. Is this true? Or is there a reason why Sleet comes so late in the Cold Dom set?
Thanks a lot!
