Sonic/Ice
I think I've only seen one Sonic/Cold (pre-I7). It seem's pretty interesting to me.
Pro's:
» You can stack a great amount of debuffs: -Rech, -Speed, -Res, -Reg, -Dmg, -Def, -EndRecovery.
» Good team buffs: +MaxHp, +Def (to all basicaly), +End, +EndRecovery.
» If you PvP, you got a good ST disorient (Screech).
Con's:
Honestly I don't see many.. Probably most players consider the fact of having no self heal a weakness. I never thought that. It probably makes you a better player, since you'll think twice before rushing into a mob.
Good luck with your Cold Soprano/Tenor :P

I'm playing a ice/cold much to my liking atm. Having no self heal is kinda annoying sometimes, but it makes you sharp indeed and finally learn to appreciate and use those green insp
P.S. I'm not rushing in less on this toon- then again i've never been a headless rushing in kind of guy-, and it prolly even increases my pace (ice blast does well in that aspect). Because now more then ever the foes need to be debuffed and annihilated faster then ever. They need to perish before i die. Teaches you to indeed think better about which target to attack with what and when and learn the right timing on different types of mobs.
Sounds interesting sonic/cold. Deffo uncommon. Enjoy it
Try asking serophina(Kandy Kane) for advice in the SG channel, Nasty. He has one and I'm sure he'd be willing to give you a heads up on whats good and whats not so good if you have any more questions.
I'd imagine it to be a very good combo. I've got an ice/cold and played a sonic blaster up to lvl 30 so i know both sets, although independently.
/cold can struggle solo (if thats your thing) with it's lack of a -tohit power or self heal. Sonic is imho the best solo set as you get the fantastic sirens song and screech. You get a nice stealth power in the secondary, that with SS is full invis, meaning you can get in close and line up your cone sleep, then take a mob down one at a time, using screech on a ST before attacking.
I found the animation times a bit tiresome in Sonic, but that should compliment /cold well as it has nice fast activation times. You also get potentially 3 AoE -res powers in sirens, howl and sleet. I would imagine sirens, snowstorm, heatloss, sleet then howl would take down a group very swiftly. It certainly works wonders with ice primary, it just lacks the ability to control the whole mob before laying down debuffs.
If you mainly team then the sheilds from /cold are excellent, as is frostwork. You would have a hard time using sirens in a team though, so you lose imo the best part of sonic attack there. Still, all the -res stacks and you would be lethal against EB/AVs.
MY biggest tip would be stick it out with cold domination. It's a late blooming set that can feel decidedly underpowered to start with when you compare it to dark or rad (just for the personal damage mitigation), but the last 2 powers are absolute gold and make the set. My ice/cold was stuck at lvl 34 for ages, but once i got sleet it completely rejuvenated my interest in the toon and now she's one of my favourites to play.
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year's bitter loving must remain

I wonder if benumb would lower mez protection enough for the mez powers in the primary to affect a scrapper.
