Sonic/Rad?

Sonic has a number of advantages.

3 damaging single attacks, all with -res
3 cones, 1 damaging with -res, 1 inaccurate Knockback cone and 1 inaccurate sleep cone.
A single target stun
Aim with a different name ( Amplify ).
The nuke does long duration disorient.

The sleep and knockback are probably not much use. The knockback will probably knock enemies out of your debuffs and the debuffs may wake up sleeping foes.

The -res from Enervating Field will stack with the -res from the single target attacks and the cone -res, which will be great for taking out AVs and Heros. The -res from Howl is perma when slotted for recharge. Also -res improves the effect of -dam powers ( enervating field again ).

However whilst it doesn't have perfect synergy, the -res is probably enough for it to be good. I have a Sonic/Dark and the Dark set seems to have more -dam than Rad but overall they probably have about the same synergy.

The only drawback is with Sonics is that you don't have as many good AoE attacks as some of the other sets ( Fire or Rad ) which are always good to have with a debuff set.


@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.

I've been thinking about a sonic/rad for PvP for all the stacking -res. It should be very very good. Only problem is the animation times.

Hey,

I'm playing a Sonic/Rad lvl20 now, and she really rocks!!
Debuff FTW! just got ling. radiation, so I can throw in 3 debuffs + all debuffs from attack powers (-13% res)

To conclude : go for it, it's very good :-)
