Join a team, or at least duo with a Brute as often as possible.
Always a good idea. A sonic/sonic is something everyone loves for AV fights because you can stack so damn much -res on the AV it can be taken down with brawl 
On a serious note though, I only ever played a sonic/ defender so cant really comment on sonic blast but there are a lot of good reasons to roll a sonic/sonic I can think of straight away:
[1]The shields, as a corr I think your shields should give everyone about 50% res to all but psi which brings most people with any resistance powers to resistance cap!
[2]Clarity, mez protection and +percep? While you dont need and shouldnt (imo) spam this all the time it is great for keeping squishies without mez protection out of trouble and freeing anyone else from mez when needed. Also if you're ever against GW your tank will love this.
[3]The -res!! With disruption field and sonic siphon you should be able to stack about -50% resistance on one target. That alone is a hell load of -res on say, an AV. Add the -res from sonic attacks to that and see your target cry
Yeah, then there is 3 powers in sonic I wouldn't take for PvE play: sonic cage, the KB aura (forgot the name), and liquefy. I've tried all of them except the KB aura and didnt find them useful enough in PvE to be worth a power slot.

I have to occasionally remind myself why I keep Sonic Repulsion. Normally in teams its to keep who shouldn't be melee not in melee when needed; or a last minute attempt to save someone in over their head; or the putting on some npc that has to be saved or its for when I get my pet out, on it goes and I stand next to her and for which it's priceless. Possibly the least desirable power in the set, you can put it on people and see if they can cause a knock up in a confined area but 99/100 they won't. Avoid putting t on certain sets that gain buffs from targets or rely on small pbaoes or aoes, the range is 70 ft and I have recently found out just how far people can go before it automatically clicks itself off...too sodding far. A hard one to remember to take off at times.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I know it seems to be a rule that doubling a power up dosn't work (in most cases). I decided to throw it out there and create one. So far im having no issues (apart from buffs i cant use! lol)
Much thanks.
Would anyone have any tips for sonic's in general?
