I've actually teamed with a Sonic/Traps. It was quite a while ago when my main and villain was in his 15-25 region. Siren's would give you a nice openning to place traps, as it easily saves my Son/Son when solo to Sleep -> Debuff one -> Stun one -> Attack the [censored] out of the one -> Re-sleep as require -> go to 2.
Shockwave would probably be a fail for you, it can be quite cumbersome. Nothing is better on a big team than a /Traps MM or Corr rushing into a mob and release poison, it'll do wonders I'm sure in big fights having -Regen and -Res. Recharge isn't too shabby on the gas part either.
I think it'd be a pretty dapper Corr. And as you may have figured Sonic -Res + Scourge = Fun.

#415877 - An Uncivil War: Preclude - Looking for Feedback Yeah i had no intention of taking shockwave, i've tried it on my kin/sonic defender back when i was a relative noob so i know that it probably would help since i need things close to me traps. Tried to make a build via Mids (the previous one was in my head) and it looks to be annoyingly tight, especially if i want to take medicine and hasten etc. But it should be a fun toon so im going to roll it anyway! Trying to decide on whether to take ss or fly. ss would allow quick stealthing into mobs to release poison gas trap, and would probably mean ffg/seekers would take alpha, but if i'm openning with siren's this may not matter. Hover allows you to place traps quicker according to a /traps guide i read since it cuts off some of the animations so thats a bonus. oh decisions!

I have one and its pretty groovy, fun to see your caltrops doing more little numbers after firing howl on a group. I think you will want to plan to take stamina, or slot some end reds somewhere, I find I'm running out of end at every mob. That might be down to me spamming web grenade though.

My experience with traps comes entirely from an MM point of view, I have henchman on Bodyguard, an FFG and sometimes open with acid mortar so that takes quite a bit of my aggro.
I say sometimes because I want poison to net as many folk and at times it isn't always a great idea to have the mortar fire up and cause a few melee breakaways as I zip in. Saying that the team I'm on for my MM has a Traps Corr also so we alternate or traps at times, example: he sets up mortar as I zip to mob and set poison, as I finish up the first mortar comes in usually taking their eyes and my trap releases.
These days with our DO/SO/IOs though we have both have mortar and poison up every mob, so it's the same as above, then he zips in with poison and I zip to the other side and set up a mortar. Much easier for me though as I don't have to concentrate on attack either due to having my keyboard bound commanding my henchies, a bonus when setting up a trap I have to say is also not having any ruptions for my Attack My Target and Go To commands. 
For MMs even I have to say that /Traps are akin to /Dark in terms of needing Stamina. I last longer than my Corr counterpart, but it is still an issue. Web-nade spamming is a bit of a pinch over time.
Note: I admit to joining in with my dual wield too often though. Heh.

i got a sonic traps corr on level 47 ;D and i love it for pvE and PVP !! ;D
if u see me on Union i might be in RV/WB telemining :P rofl
Ok I was having a think about obscure powersets and combos that had been overlooked. One of them that came to mind was Sonic/traps and the more i thought about it, the more i liked the idea of the combo! There seems (in my opinion at least) to be great synergy between the two. I can see an attack chain on large groups (when solo) of Siren's songing them all to sleep, running in and placing poison gas trap, then acid mortar, then killing as appropriate with blasts. It should be an easy and safe soloer and fairly handy in teams too!
So the question is: What do you lot think? Am i deluding myself? Is this a rubbish idea? Any ideas on tactics that would work well? Which powers should i avoid or not use together? I have a draft build in mind if ppl want to see it, but feel free to leave any comments and ideas you might have.
Oh i see this as a mostly PvE toon as i know little about pvp!
