my main and first toon was a sonic/EM....i got lucky and chose an uber powerset selection, lol. typo: conserve power was at 39 nt 49
ok so i agree wit almost all you say, i made my lvl 44 (Sonic Bang) on champion. your power choice is great however id say that shockwave isnt THAT bad...however im planning on respecing out of it.
for the APP....ice is great because of hibernate and snowstaorm help with pesky bosses that just wont get mezzd. flashfreeze is a version of sirens song but its land only attack...unless the target is flying.
glaciel shield is an average shield id 4slot it or maybe 5 slot.
hibernate i slot for recharge...health...and end modification. once i get it.
ummmm..oh and fire is goodi used to have it. bonfire is very good for solo because the knockback can trap a mob in the conrer if they are close enough. but it gets ANNOYING when u jave a team and your in the open.....the single target hold is just your average hold..good if you need another hold but u wont with screech and stun and TF.
fire shied....basic shield. rise of the phoenix is great if you die alot. BUT...is rather take hibernate and not die in the first place :P
i highly recomend cold mastery because of snowstorm (if you are soloing a mob...BEWARE OF AGGRO lol)
and hibernate...which PWNS
