    And if you want to PVP then don't listen to MaX . In PvP two accuracy per power is a necessity.


    [/ QUOTE ]Of course, however it is mainly a PvE game, and the poster never specified any desire to PvP with the build

    Your right I didn't state that if I'd PvP as I have no idea if I will. I have played mainly on PvP servers in MMO mainly as you can kill that git who keeps annoying you with emotes/kill stealing etc, but mostly my experience with PvP is self defense. I tend to suck at PvP as I feel sorry for the other person (and I am rubbish, back in my UO days I'd kill myself more times then my opponent with mistakes using LastTarget macros ).

    Here is a an updated build still with liquify. I might go for Medicine if liquify does suck when I get there, I'll just have to say that it's bandaging myself or something to stay in concept.

    Personally, I'd only slot one ACC in attacks, and use the 6th slot for EndRdx.

    Fly doesn't need EndRdx, you're not going to fight using it. Rather throw that slot as a flyspeed in hover or something.

    Stamina is kinda late-ish, might want to move stuff like the Haven and howl/shout later and get it at 20.

    Amplify doesn't need ToHit buff.

    Clarity only needs one slot.

    From what I've heard, most sonics consider liquefy quite poor, would propably drop it.

    You'll want 6 slots in screech if you take it, something like 1/3/2 Acc/Stun/Rech.

    Drop the acc in dreadful wail and add 3rd rech, you're going to fire off aim and maybe PBU before it so hitting won't be an issue.

    With dropping liquefy, you might want to consider shuffling powers around and dropping something like superspeed, in order to get aid self from the medicine pool.

    All in all, pretty nice for your first build.

    Well I've already made lvl 11 so I can only push back shout or hover+fly to get stamina earlier, so i'll push back shout and get it at 22. The enhancements I slotted in were just guesses, I only put 2 Acc in most things as the builder says that Sonic attacks have -5% Acc normally.

    Clarify I had no idea about slotting so I'll limit that to one. I'll try liquify and respecc out if I don't like it, but that will probably be months away before I get high enough to properly try it out. Good advice about using Amplify before using Dreadful Wail.

    Biggest problem I have so far is everyone expects me to heal . Even when I put Sonic/Sonic in my search comment. I'm enjoying it as it like a blaster that helps out the team.

    Hi everyone,

    I am a newbie to CoH but have played lots of MMO games before. I'm enjoying CoH a lot as there seems to be much less grinding for equipment/honour/rep which caused me to quit WoW.

    I have got two chracters up to lvl 11 so far. One is a Sonic/Sonic defender. I tried a FF/Psi defender first but didn't like blasting with Psi very much, when I teamed with a Sonic Blaster and really liked the look of the sonic attacks. So I decided to play a Sonic/Sonic Defender mainly choosing Sonic Primary to keep the power concept simple. So here is what I plan on the Hero Builder

    Hope that worked. The slotting is my main problem. I'm not really sure on how many slots to give most of the powers, this is just a guess from what I have played fo the game so far, so adive on them would be good. There is a little room for changing a few powers, but it built around manipulating sound waves to perform all the powers. So Dark/Psychic Mastery/Teleport are out as it gets to hard to explain how I got those powers.

    Thanks for any help.
