Just recently, like in the last two days, I've started seeing a weird SFX. When my Nrg/Nrg blaster hits something and daze/dizzy/stuns something, instead of doing the typical drunk walk sfx the mob gets the tesla cage sfx around it.

At first I thought maybe it was someone I was teaming with hitting at the same time with a tesla cage, or some similar power with new graphics. Then I thought maybe it was just my computer being screwy somehow.

So last night I got together with a couple of friends and hit the Lady Winter mission and we all saw it happening. It isn't really hurting the game play any, I'm just curious if anyone else is seeing this happen.

Do you by any chance have a hold proc in at least one of your powers? When it hits, it uses that same effect.

For example, my Scrapper has a full set of Devastation (Including "Chance for Hold") slotted in [Shuriken] (a Ranged Epic power), and I see that same thing all the time.
