If the devs for whatever reason decide to allow a trial or raid boss (or even adds) to be susceptible to sleep, then cool, I guess? But the devs always seemed really averse to players having the potential to "cheese" endgame mechanics with CC- largely a reason why BLU is the proverbial black sheep.

If you ask me, all Healers getting Repose seems more like a byproduct of their healer homogenization so when it comes to needing CC in places like Eureka 2.0/PotD/HOH, no single healer is better equipped to handle that type of situation when things start to go south.
I mean sleep could never be used as a mechanic in battles because not every healer/DPS had access to it. Now that every healer does, it's possible to make content that utilizes it. If this was done during Stormblood, how would Astrologian or Scholar have fared against it?
