You can definitely cage some, not sure about all, though. Make sure you tell your team, though.
Oh, and no, it won't stack. If you manage to fire it off again while your target's still caged you'll get "Unaffacted" popping up.

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah but if they are caged then you don't need to stack it even more 
and if they're not caged then the next sonic cage should land and stack.
Caging something again after it's worn off is hardly stacking...

[/ QUOTE ]After it's worn off? I mean if you have a PvE target with protection, the first cage might not mez and they'll only get intanged while you have two applications down. Of course, I've never used the power, and I don't know that much. And it's duration isn't enhanceable so with 3 rech SOs you'll barely perma it... I'm talking nonsense tbh
I have never played with cage on an AV. I doubt they can be, unless maybe, with some, the arrows are down and then thats not for long.
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.

AVs can be caged. The cage duration is reduced though.
Normal Monsters can usually be caged, GMs can't.
One of my favourite tricks on the STF is to permacage the flier so it can't attack or drop mobs.

Does it then pass by? Or is it for such a short time it just buys time?

I wouldn't call firing off one power every 30 secs to fully negate a foe's attacks "just buying time".
More like "taking a dangerous foe out of the fight entirely". It's still aggroed but can't act.
Combined with a Power Boosted Liquefy patch ("OK. Try and hit us NOW, you massive horde of Bane Spider sissies!") Sonic Cage is one of the lesser-used but _very_ powerful abilities of a good Sonic Defender.
It's especially handy to be able to cage the flier when it respawns and aggros a team when they're busy killing the towers (without a tank). Many an otherwise helpless STF PUG team has been saved by such tactics.
I would call putting a entity out of action, unable to attack and unable to be attacked as buying time for dropping the towers, yes.
I don't have it on a Sonic/Sonic Corrupter as I don't need it personally and people would only moan XD

Need to remember the towers with my US Grav/Sonic when she reaches that level - she has 2 cage powers so thats 2 towers out of action
Mind of Gaia lvl 50 Defiant's first Mind/Storm 'troller.

Dimension Shift has much lower mag than Sonic Cage, so I doubt it would work with the towers (or with Flier/AVs).

My Sonic Corr has it as her 49th power with an Acc thrown in, really a throwaway power choice (and I like the animation "EASTER EGG HERO!").
It was actually worth it because during the 'Defeat Vindicators' mission I was able to stop Valk\Mynx\Liberty from smashing squishies with one dose of Cage, which lasted long past the Up-Arrow-Down-Arrow duration, and allowed everyone to take out the Longbow Party Possé -- and their many Wardens -- then focus on the Hero afterwards...and it Valks case I was able to Cage after her rez to stop her from slicing people in two.
All good fun, but a not my most used power.

Dimension Shift has got a lower mag (3) than Sonic Cage but DS is differant to most powers; by slotting Intangibilty you dont increase the duration (fixed for 30 seconds) you increase the magnitude.
If you dont slot any intang you can phase all but the Bosses - splitting the spawn; one intang will phase all including bosses.
So depends on the mag required for the towers.
L50s: Tanks: Cryofission - Ice/EM - Dr Celsius - Fire/Ice - Saint George - SD/SS | Controllers: Psichosis - Ill/Kin - Major Chaos - Ill/Stm | Scrappers - Neutron Crusader - DM/SR
Currently Levelling: Angelic Blade - BS/WP Scrapper | Seeds of Destruction - Plant/Kin Controller
That's true, but even with 3 Intangibility level 50 IOs it has a lower Mag than Sonic Cage (for trollers at least), so not worth it imo.

Anyone knows if its possible to cage AVs or if it stacks with itself?
BANG BANG!!!
