Sonic/Ice - Good Combo?

Sonic/Ice is an amazingly good solo combination and also teams well provided you play with good players that understand how to deal with sleeps.

As far as the build goes it depends on what you want to do with the blaster.

What's your plan? Solo exclusively? Team exclusively? So where in the middle? What do you want to focus on with your build? Extra damage? More defense? Maximum recharge?

My 1st toon was a Fire/Storm Controller which I started the 3 day head start after Beta, and it was hard to level because of no raw damage, and people hated controllers in groups when Tanks could round up the entire instance and then everyone AoE.

Think of the Sonic/Ice Blaster as a faster leveling, petless Controller. Also, people will invite you to groups left and right, just because you are a blaster for DPS.

My Sonic/Ice is my favorite Blaster for either Solo or Group. In groups, you may not use Sleep as much, but you have disorients and Holds, and then Ice Patch!!! While Soloing, you have the CC of a Controller and the DPS to kill swiftly before your Mezzes wear off.

If you go Cold Mastery, you have the ability to sleep Bosses. By stacking Sirens Song, Frozen Aura, and Flash Freeze... Along with being able to chain your Siren's Song, Screech, and Freezing Touch before LTs and Minions come out of the Mezzes.

*** Change to Ice Patch ***
If you haven't played with Ice Manipulation in awhile, Ice Patch now Forces a Knockdown which knocks the Mobs out of Sleep. Before they would just stand in the Ice Patch not moving while sleeping. This was a bummer, but doesn't slow you down at all, because you use more AoE now.

Here is my Sonic/Ice Build:
