Question about Sleep Grenande

Hey fellow Blasters, just had a quick question regarding other peoples experience with Sleep Grenade from the APP. I have a DP/Dev blaster that I am leveling up. I know,I know its DP/Dev, but I love the concept and was wondering how effective Sleep Grenade would go with it.

I do plan on taking Cloaking Device and probably buy a stealth IO to put into sprint and was wondering if Sleep Grenade would be effective. I was thinking about using sleep grenade and laying down Time Bomb, yes I am aware of the dubiousness of that power, but thought it might be an effective combo to take out a group, while I fight another group. Anyways, any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

BTW sorry about the misspelling of grenade in the title.

The Sleep Grenade's only a mag 3.0 sleep (so Lieutenants and under), so it'll work great for setting up Time Bomb if you play with Bosses off (definately have one SO's worth of sleep on it, though, if you don't want them waking up before the bomb goes off).

Of course, if you've got a Stealth IO and Cloaking Device, you have a 65ft stealth radius and so most Bosses and under won't be seeing you at all (the exceptions being Rulaaru eyes, Rikti Drones, and Snipers, plus a few Longbow that seem to have Tactics), making the Sleep Grenade + Time Bomb tactic fairly rare.

So setting up Time Bomb won't be breaking stealth, gotcha. That was my concern regarding the set up, but I'm also sure using smoke grenade will also help as well. Thank you, as this would help free up a power slot for me to use on a power pool. Thank you.

Yeah, Trip Mine and Time Bomb don't break stealth. Quite useful.
