Call it the sleeper shot. LoL
OOO give us a sleep gun!
@metagenic : ya but it makes sense to have a gun for every status. im sure they could nerf it somehow to not make the game easier
Sleep can also cause healing overtime, but if I recall... doesn't Shock takes away the fire status as well? Correct me if I'm wrong... Anyways... Just as these types of status eliminates the other, Poison and/or sleep would dispel each of the other... say you put your enemies to sleep. you can take advantage of hitting it, just like how sleep vials can work too, but I think poison can also dispel sleep by giving it the poison status effect in return.
Once that is applied, the sleep effect is gone and poison just takes over and you still have to worry about them hitting you, but their defenses and attack power are lowered. If you really want sleep weapons, just make use of the vials in the game for now in the meantime. You can't go wrong with a sleep vial in huge crowds. Charge your weapon and swing at them in one pile.
Um no, you can have Fire, Shock, Poison, and Curse all at the same time. Those 4 statuses are on JK 24/7 almost every run, lol. Only statuses that conflict the other (I.E Fire and Freeze) can't be on a target at the same time. I don't think Poison/sleep conflict with each other.

Now that I think of it, is there ANY way to inflict sleep on an enemy without using a vial?
No, and probably because it'd be extremely annoying in PvP, especially if you poisoned them at the same time. That'd leave them pretty much screwed. lol

To sleep? or not to sleep?
The idea is cool and all, but it would cause problems in game. All the issues were listed above, so i would have to say no. :/
We'll need to make some monsters immune, as well as test it out and see if it makes certain parts of the game incredibly easy. And having a gun do so seems.. bad. Too easy to inflict. I'm voting for a low-radius non-haze non-damaging bomb... and even that's a stretch. I'm saying no.
Pfff, sleep weapons could be balanced. There is a whole thread talking about this already. Go find it.
Sleep + poison would just make the game even easier than it is now in its current state
