/FF and /Sonic are great secondary for "selfish" controllers
Disruption Field + Sonic Dispersion can be the only two powers you taqke (plus the lvl1 power of course).
The mezz protection is not complete but it's a whole leot better than waht most controllers have.

I have been thinking about a Fire/Sonic selfish controller, whcih would allow me to got nuts on primary and pool powers. I think you guide is about to push me into putting that idea in action.

I was just thinking about a fire/sonic today...

The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

Fire/Sonic would be a great combo. The main problem with Ill/Sonic is that while Sonic has a pretty great AoE resistance debuff, it needs to be anchored on a melee pet, and your melee pets don't last more than a minute. Resetting the toggle after every summon gets pretty annoying pretty fast.

Fire/, on the other hand, has PERMANENT melee pets, so you don't need to constantly reapply the debuff. Fire/Sonic gives you all the great aspects of the Fire/ set, plus mez immunity, damage resistance, bonus damage, and increased accuracy-- all of which apply to both you AND your monkeys.

Based on my separate experience with both sets, I would heartily endorse a Fire/Sonic selfish controller. There's a lot of synergy there. Now, someone go roll the toon and write the guide.

How would a Ice/Son or an Earth/Son do? I want to do something with a controller other than Fire/*
