Yes, effects from different powers or different sources almost always stack.
Dispersion field affect you as well as your allies if I remember correctly.
I really should do something about this signature.

[/ QUOTE ]Yup, it does, just like every other PBAoE buff.

Indeed, although the radius is not very wide.

I tried a sonic/sonic to 14 and the team's damage noticeably flies up on a target if you have the two sonic resonance debuffs and are spamming sonic blasts.
I do love the sonic blast set for defenders. My FF/sonic and TA/sonic both make a large difference to team damage when I'm assisting with blasts on the same target.
The resistance debuffs from the sonic blasts stack, but Sonic Siphon from the primary do not. We tested it in the arena, and I was able to stack around -130% resistance which is enough to reduce Granite Armour to nothing but a big debuff.

You are probably hitting the -res cap. all different powers stack, but some don't stack with themselves.
Edit: or your damage cap more likely, the -res cap is supposed to be about -400%.

Where did you get these numbers from? As far as I know there isn't a -res cap.
The blasts definitely stack with each other, since I was sitting on Teamspeak with the person I was testing with and he was calling out the amount of blasts he had stacked on himself.
can't have xan, they dont exist [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Shriek, Scream, Howl have 20% debuffs that last 5 seconds. Shout has a 20% 10 second debuff. Screech has a 20% 12 second debuff. None of these powers say the debuffs don't stack with themselves so the time they last seems to be the only limiter.
Sonic Siphon is a 30% debuff lasting 30 seconds which won't self-stack. Sonic Debuff then has the 30% debuff of Disruption Field field on top of that if you've an ally handy.
Actually the Blasts stacking with themselves is something I was told before doesn't happen. Apparently they do, according to http://www.nofuture.org.uk/cox/ It only seems to be specific debuff powers, like Sonic Siphon & Acid Arrow that won't self-stack.
Slotting my Dark / Kinetic Corrupters Tenb Tentacles with -Acc & Recharge may be well worth it!
Sonic/Sonic stacks and for extra kick bring a Kinetic for the +Dmg and +speed to go with your -res.

The -res cap that was mentioned somewhere sometime was at least -200% iirc, but I don't think it is related to +damage cap, which is something like +500-600% for most ATs, right? To keep it simple, I don't think the caps come into effect here.

The highest you get for damage cap on heroes is 500% (Blasters and Scrappers).
Damage cap and -resistance cap are not related, which is one of the reasons I love teaming my Kin/Rad with OVOhms' Rad/Sonic Defender.
mmmmmmm Atomic Blast mmmmmmm
...which is one of the reasons why I love my sonic/kin corruptor. Superfast fulcrum-shifted and souldrained res-debuffing attacks just make me smile.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
Just started a new Sonic/Sonic Defender and think it is great. However, I do have a few questions that I've been wondering about.
First I know that my sonic attacks debuffs stacks to about 30% and that my Sonic resonace Debuffs stack but what I'm wondering is does the debuff from my attacks and my resonace stack with each other?
Also the does the Dispersion Field power affect my own toon to or just allies. It seems like it only affects allies but I'm not sure.
If it does only affect allies does Sonic Resonance have ANY power that affect the Defender itself?
