I have a AR/Sonic, lvl20 now.
The Sonic bubble (lvl20 - big range) is very nice, slotted 3x resist, 2x EndRed would be best setup (becomes 20ish% resist all with SO's, resist imm/hold/disorient for everyone in the bubble, startup sound is annoying though). The ally-bubbles each can go 3resist. The -res toggle around ally is a really high end-using toggle, get it after you got your stamina, 3 EndRed would be the right slotting.
Sonic cage i havent took yet, i gues a recharge/acc would be the best way to go.

Wouldn't take sonic secondary for soloer, seeing as the -res toggle is ally-based...
Agree on that, though initialy mine was team based. I think only the lvl20 big bubble and the sonic cage are usefull for a solo'er, then the final power 38. (the others are pure ally based - resist/resistdebuff/knockback/CM-style). But i gues with a patron pet its a very nice set to solo, since you can buff your pet pretty big time (not sure if any pet tend to go more melee then others?)

Hellowie!
Sometimes to my dismay, I always pick Powers based on cencept rather than compatibility with my play style. So it really has to be Sonic Attacks - Sonic Resonance. I have had a Level 19 Force Field - Electric Blast Defender (not that I'm saying that Force Fielders are the same as Sonics), and I found Detention Field immensely useful when playing solo. So I would imagine Sonic Cage to be the same.
Thanks for the help so far though

I don't see why people say things around concept.
Chi is concept based, and he is Storm Dark. There are a few ways of looking at it:
1) Two completely different sets (eg Ice/Radiation Corruptor) is just stupid
2) Two completely different sets (eg Ice/Radiation Corruptor) is cool, as it means your character has two completely different powers!
3) Two completely different sets (eg Ice/Radiation Corruptor) is cool, because it can make your character uber.
4) Your character can be a Mage-type character, like Chi. He can summon evil spirits and control the skies to defeat his foes.
5) Your character can be a Robot/Gadget king. So they have eg special gloves that have many different functions, such as shooting electricity and summoning fire swords.
6) You could actually play an MMORPG in RP. It doesn't really matter what the powers are called, does it? An Energy/Sonic corruptor, for example, could be very simple to Energy/Force field. Your (<robot or whatever>
could be able to control his energy bolts, and give his allies protective shields.
7) Maybe your character could be Sonic/Radiation (for solo) and they are a cry baby? Their origin could be Science. They could be a camp, male diva drama queen, that can control radiation. They just like shouting a lot.
8) You could just not care
Come on, that's a lot of ideas. I'm sure you can find something that works .

When I say my Corruptor has to be Sonic Attacks - Sonic Resonance for it's concept, I mean: "My Corruptor has to be Sonic Attacks - Sonic Resonance for it's concept." 
The concept is that a group of people (the slef proclaimed 'Lovers Of Sound') came together to realise a single dream. 3-Dimensional sound. My Sonic - Sonic Corruptor (Technology Origin), is their final acheivement. Something that can impose their message across the world.
The reason I set it around concept is because that's what I want. I don't like playing characters with no backstory. I find them a little lifeless. I could make a Sonic Attacks - Radiation Emmision, but it wouldn't make sense fo my character. And I could just not care, but I do.
So, the reason people set things around concept? The same reason some players choose Defenders over Blasters: Playstyle.
And I think Ice Blast - Radiation Emission is a fantastic concept idea. For a start, you could call them 'Nuclear Winter'

i have a sonic/sonic corrupter who is level 39 now called Ghost Banshee. She is a little aggro magnet and dies more than any of my other toons but i didnt call her Ghost Banshee for nothing. Sure if i picked more personal defense powers i wouldnt hit the deck so much, in picking some defensive powers my running toggles would remain on more. i pretty much have all the powers but for sonic cage, sirens song and screech. These are the defensive powers that would help me soloing, would save me from faceplanting as much in teams but i am expecting people in the teams to help save me but usually i manage to out aggro everyone. Sonic repulsion and shockwave could be the 2 powers worth dropping to get 2 of the 3 somewhat personal defence powers but i need that 4th debt badge for accolade so not yet as i am still trying (3rd debt badge at 37). Screech and sonic cage being the best 2.
For a good solo/pvp build you take all single targetters and amplify and when in teams your contribution can come from having all but sonic repulsion in the secondary. Fitness pool id say a must to run toggles and attack. Leap pool for acrobatics to prevent being knocked back yourself is okay but could normally get away with hover and fly. I went hover and fly as knockbacks was the only other thing i needed to do something about really and ghosts float.
To be team and solo based this build may suit you, my own build is very aoe and cone based so its different.

the slotting is normally attacks 2 acc 3 dam 1 end or control durations in your case. Shields 3 dam res at least and disruption field 3 end slots. Liquefy is lovely you have to have it!! I might go "sod the patrons!" and be a pure build.

Thankyou Shannon. That was really helpful (and nice of you).

You're one of the first people I've seen to say that, Shannon.
My Ice/Sonic Controller is probably picking it up at 38 anyway, but why do you like it? What does it actually do? And how do you slot it?
So many questions ...

I dropped after 2 levels on my grav/sonic troller. It's supposed to work a bit like Earthquake, but the knockdown is minor, the hold is low-mag and the debuffs (Def and ThT) not really noticeable. It might be more useful on a corruptor, but for a troller, I'd say skip (or try and respec out ). If you do take it, slot recharges and then... nah, really, just don't...

I am very surprised that you choose Sonic Cage over Dreadful Wail. Don't you just like Nukes or for what reasons are you missing out your maximum-damage attack?
Hellowie!
I have recently rolled a Sonic Attacks - Sonic Resonance Corruptor and am loving it. Even though I am more of a soloer. But I have been trying to find some guides to help me get to grips with it, but I can't find any.
Can anyone give me some tips about slotting and whatnot?
Many thanks.
