Tesla Cage Effect with my Enrgy/Enrgy Blaster?

So the past few weeks when I've been playing my level 50 Enrgy/Enrgy Blaster and I've noticed a weird phenomenon when I sometimes hit foes with either my Power Burst, Explosive Blast or Power Push, not really sure which power it is as I always want to get a screen shot when it happens but I always miss it. Anyways, it appears that when one of these powers hits, I sometimes get the Tesla Cage as seen with an Electrical Blaster. Now I've read all my descriptions for my Primary Energy Set and not a one says it will give you a temporary Tesla Cage. The majority will say "Foe Knockback" as one effect. If I remember, the Tesla Cage is the "roundish" type electrical ball that enshrouds you like what some of the Freakshow have as a holding power.

Now the weird thing is when this Tesla Cage appears, it only last for a few seconds then disappears into thin air. Thus, I an unable to get a snap shot of it and also cannot pin-point which exact power it is. If I had my guess, I would say it was my Power Burst. I do have the majority of my powers slotted with Invention Set Enhancements but I really don't think that alone will give you a 2 second Tesla Cage. I really have no idea? My thinking is the dev's changed the effect for one of these powers but never updated it yet in the power description nor has paragonwiki. Can anyone out there back me up on this on what I saw? If it is a new effect, I like it but wish it would last a bit longer. Not necessary as long as the normal Electrical Blasters Tesla Cage but just long enough to throw in another knock-out punch power to take them out.

You say you have some IO sets slotted. If one of the sets you have is Devastation, check to see if you have the chance to hold proc. If you do, there is your answer. The Devastation: Chance to Hold proc uses the Tesla Cage effect, when it fires.

Oooohhh,..Wow,...that is a pleasant surprise. You'd think I would at least read some of those descriptions before I purchased those invention sets...lol. Yes, I do have Devastation for one of my powers. Based on what paragonwiki says, it has a 15% chance to hold your target. Very Nice!

Can I have some influence? If you're willing to pay for enhancement sets and not read the description, I'm sure you wouldn't miss it.

Oh, another good chance to hold proc is in the Lockdown set. It's expensive, but occasionally you'll hold a boss with just one hold power if you have it. I think it only lasts 8 seconds, but that's still quite nice when it happens.
