Dear HotButteredSoul,
Earthshattering guide! Kudos!
-- the would-be Ill/Sonic.
I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

Dear HotButteredSoul,
I read your fantastic guide and was inspired to try my own Death Soup recipes. For awhile I liked adding Salt into the mix with Salt Crystals. It didn't bother me at all to apply Salt with crazy Fire blasters around spewing orange numbers everywhere, because I loved the power for the huge defense debuff and the great graphics more than the sleep -- although it certainly comes in handy when you're watching your teammates happily play in the mud and some ambush comes along behind you!
However, I decided as I gained levels and my range of available ingredients grew that I didn't need so much Salt anymore. In fact, I became loath to be very near my Death Soup when I served it. So I took Hover and Teleport as my travel powers of choice, which means I don't have Stone Cages (so ugly), Stalagmites (need to be on the ground to use), or Salt Crystals (ditto.)
Am I crazy like a fox, or just crazy?
Best Regards,
Floating over Founders Falls
My Earth/Sonic is still my favorite and most played character. The Sonic buffs only helped, and once I got a Warhulk pet, there was no coming back. Sure, I could shell out a bit more for moderate bonuses, but why? I never run out of end with all my toggles going, I have near perma-hasten, and I can lock down any spawn with Stalag/Fissure. Not to mention all the other powers I have.
Still have that classic Earth problem of killing things quickly though. Haha!

Hey, glad the guide is still of use.
Keep the Earth/Sonic movement going!
I kinda like the orange sonic graphics, btw. I sincerely hope they solve the headache problem some people were having with the set.
concu and Reddy Kilowatt... thanks, you guys. Good to be back. And a special extra thanks to Reddy Kilowatt for posting the IO build. Try as I might, I just can't get into the IO thing. Maybe that will change soon.
