Do's and Don'ts for a Sonic/Mental...
Do - Skip WoC..... Unless you are going to put the purple confuse set in it especially the proc. The Contagious confusion proc is better than this entire power.
Don't - Skip Sirens..... Unless you are NEVER going to solo this toon. Sirens makes maxing out the benefits from Drain Psyche a breeze. You can then AoE with pretty much impunity.
-Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein.
-I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. - Galileo Galilei
-When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. - Thomas Jefferson

Skipping Siren's song on a sonic blast ANYTHING is a huge mistake. Siren's Song and Screech make for an absolutely untouchable solo blaster. Siren's Song is perma out of the box (it's duration is longer than it's base recharge). I use that combination with Taser added in on my Sonic/Devices and it's awesome. If you have a stealth power or a stealth IO you can sneak up on a mob and put them to sleep, then wake them up one at a time wth Screech (they wake up stunned and still can't attack that way). Single target attack them to death and do the same with the next one. Voila! you have just killed an entire spawn without ever even being targeted, let alone damaged.
Also, the purple sleep set is still pretty cheap, comparitively speaking.

I have a sonic/mental blaster at lvl 19 now and I cannot get over how much fun I'm having with it. I tend to use Howl and Psychic Scream to start everything off. I'm not sure if there are any powers I should stay away from out of either set. Its my first time with both. I'm thinking of skipping Sirens Song and I've heard that World of Confusion is horrible. I'm thinking this will be an AoE blaster, not too much experience with those either. Any tips/tricks you could offer would be appreciated.
I'm a Mac user, no Mid's for me
