Sonic/Sonic PvP respec

My sonic is nearing 50 now, and I pretty much gimped him 1-50 by taking silly powers like my nuke and Liquefy as I wanted to test everything in the sonic set. I figure that once I hit 50 I'll respec into something a bit more min/maxed for the PvP fighting win, hence the build below.

Yes, Clarity has 6 slots. The animation is 1.5 seconds long, and with 3 recharge I get a recharge of 2 seconds so I can stack it really really quick. 3 range so I can do it from bloody miles away.

Kept Scream and Shriek as I can do some mad -res stacking on granite tankers, since they can't be toggledropped the usual way. Sonic Siphon stays in as well, since it turned out to actually be pretty good. Also, it means I can steal kills and annoy Imaginary. If possible, I want to test the duration of the -res effects with someone in the arena, to see just how many I can stack.

Took hasten at 38 and superspeed at 49 as I really didn't have anything else to put there. If anyone has any suggestions as to what could replace them, I'd be happy to hear them but I couldn't see any.

Smashing/Lethal sets are going to hate me in the face. With Sonic Dispertion (the big bubble) and Mind Over Body running it would appear that I get some stupidly high resistance like 62.4%. Thats just plain silly.

Went hurdle/health/stamina for the fitness pool, but if you guys think it's better I can change that around. I went for that since health is ok-ish and I didn't really need sprint.

If you think the extra jump on Combat Jumping could be put to better use elsewhere, i'll move it since I'll probably mostly be running SJ to move faster. I might even move it over onto Mind Over Body since my end is pretty bad with all those toggles running.

Got the concealment pool, but didn't take invis since you can't buff whilst you're under it. I can still ghost missions in PvE with SS and stealth, so I'm not worried about that side of things. Stealth is more so that I can run away faster if I start to get attacked.

So, anyone have any suggestions? I don't know how many sonics there actually are in the EU, but if there are any I'd love to hear from you.

Oh yeah, if you want to mess with this build in hero builder then you can download the .hro file here.

Not having access to HeroBuilder at work, only one thing really jumps out at me - what are the respective max ranges for Sonic Barrier, Sonic Haven, Clarity and Grant Invis? If they're all around the same range then ignore me, but if they're at varying ranges I'd try to level them out so that when you're in range for one buff, you're in range for all buffs, with extra slots either going into more EndRdx, RecRed/Range for Screech, or possibly Acc in attacks.

I think Hasten and SS is a solid choice - especially for Zonal PvP, as I expect to see a high number of Villains in RV with -Jump powers. Also very happy to see the inclusion of Sonic Cage in there.

Seeing as I'm approaching the right level with my Ill/Son, what did you make of Liquefy? I'm guessing it wasn't massively impressive, but it'd be nice to get another opinion.

Liquefy is, to be blunt, a terrible power. It has an AoE hold in it, but it's a ridiculously low mag and only hits even-level minions occasionally (and even when they are held, it lasts for about 2 seconds). The other effects have such low values that they may as well not be there, and you can't really enhance them any higher since the power needs 3 recharge and 1 or 2 accuracies to actually be even remotely viable. It reads like a nice power, but in reality it's pretty pants. I suppose one thing it does have going for it is that the AoE is pretty huge, much larger than Ice Slick so for a 45 second duration AoE knockdown power it's not that bad. The problem is, it's your final "big" power, and it's just so dissapointing.

Also, the noise it makes is really annoying.

Okay, I'm sold.

Ah well, I guess I'll try it anyway - 45 secs of knockdown might actually be useful for an Illusion set which lacks control, plus I'll have fun dropping on the cookie-cutter Blappers in WB who insist on fighting only on the beach where they can run to safety. Failing that being reason enough to keep it, I can probably jiggle my build around a bit more to sort out my horrendous end issues (Sonic Dispersion, Acrobatics, Disruption Field, Sup. Invis...) - thanks Xan.
