In the description is says it's a debuff and it can make targets sleep: It can only be slotted for sleep - and yet I've NEVER seen it work like that. It's an aggro magnet if I use it without mitigating first. Is it WAI or is there something missing (in my understanding or the description): It seems to me it may be much more of a debuff than a sleep - in the same way that say, World of Confusion is more about damage than confuse.

So chances are you are sending 3/5s of the spawn asleep and the other 40% are shooting you.
It's not the most useful of effects but the -Damage is nice. It's still a pretty skippable power though
well, it's got a 66% chance for mag2
sleep for 11 seconds.
and a 20% DMG debuff for 20 seconds.
I use /TA on my MM, and I never rely on the sleep, 66% chance for a stinkin' mag 2? bah, I fire it for the DMG debuff.

Unless you want a mule for the purple Sleep set for 10% global recharge. It is the cheapest of the purple sets. Other than that, a single Recharge is fine.|

But Yeah, I agree that the sleep is mostly worthless -- the 20% Damage debuff is most of the value of the power. The folks calling for a buff to Trick Arrow often request that some -Regen be added to PGA, which makes sense to me. Some -ToHit in there would make sense, too.

Unlikely for a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time if ever. But not beyond the realms of possibility
