Hypnosis is better.

Doesn't Sleep have a HD limit , while hypno doesn't?

Yes. Sleep has HD limit, heightened Hypno is usefull at any level.

Dont know why they carried over the low hd limit for sleep but not hypno from PnP. Makes one useful and the other completely worthless.

I love the hypno spell, it's the first spell any caster should get, and its useful for pretty much the entire game.

I was playing with a Wizard today who was using sleep. He pointed out a couple of other benefits to sleep:

1) The mobs go prone which makes them less likely to get targeted by wild-swinging melee players in your group.

2) Because the mobs go prone, even when they are hit, they take a little time getting up which gives you a little extra time without taking damage.

I'd have to say that as one of those who was swinging a sword, I may have targeted them a bit less because of them being prone when sleeping...

I still think Hypno's better though.

Sleep is only modestly effective during the levels when its effective at all.
Hypno, as has been stated, is good well into higher levels.

For a Wizard, there is little harm in learning both... but I'd never take Sleep on a Sorcerer.

Hypno, hands down, ftw. I still use it as cc sometimes at lvl 12 lol
