Ice / Sonic halp plox!

I’ve been playing my Ice / Sonic quite a lot (rolled primarily just to be different) and am mostly enjoying it. I’ve been building it as team dependent, so its soloing speed pre-L32 is pedestrian to say the least (I’ve just hit L28)

I’ve been fiddling around with the powers and I’m not really sure where to go next; I’ve got the following: -

Ice: Block of Ice, Arctic Air, Shiver, Ice Slick, Glacier.
Sonic: The two team shields plus the big bubble, the L1 mandatory enemy –res thing, the team-mate –res toggle (yes I should know their names!).

From the pools, I’ve picked up Hover-Flight, and Spring-Health-Stamina. I’ve also grabbed Stealth with the purpose of making the enemies aggro on Jack when I get him rather than me.

I’m likely to drop Arctic Air; whilst it does seem pretty good, I can’t simply afford the two sonic toggles and it, plus be actively controlling.

So I’m kind of at a loss of what to take at L30. If I respec out of Arctic Air I could jump into the medicine pool for Aid Other – Aid Self. I could go with invisibility to give me stealth options for ghosting missions. I might go with Chilblain or Air Superiority to give me an attack option.

Any thoughts?

I'd suggest taking Hasten and Sonic Cage. Most people don't like cage powers that much but I find it to be a life saver sometimes. It requires some experience to know when and on which target to use it, but then it ends up being a very nice tool.

Is ths advise from the man who deleted his sonic?

Harv, being team dependant you might want to pick something like hasten. Although not obvious with your build it's a power that will greatly help with all aspects of your controling primary powers and won't soak up loads of slots that I'm guessing you are fighting for at the moment.

I love the single holds on my trolleys, the quicker I have it to use again to stack on a boss the better - it generally gives an AoE focused team nice feelings to know that the boss ain't gonna be after them and their mass-aggroing ways.
