Cool! Always good to see another Sonic Defender.
I guess there'll be a bit of dynamic toggle management there, even with the two Heal uniques and the Stamina proc. But, you do have time to do that with Sonic.
I'm guessing that the Centiroles still give out schedule A level values of +33% resistance? Is that the cheat?

This bothers me: 9 toggles, activating them all takes over 20 seconds, and you picked a nuke?

Well, these are probably the main drivers for taking Dreadful Wail:
1) When I was chooing the level 47 power, I had accomplished what I was hoping for out of the build and viewed the pick as a freebie to select something I liked
2) I like to nuke occasionally. For Kins and Colds I nuke as often as I can. In this case, it would be used sporadically.
That's pretty much it.

Solid reasoning. Sometimes you have to put optimization behind and just go with the stuff that look cool.

Just two things: Replace the Aegis Resistance/recahrge with a Aegis resistance in Mind over Body.
And I would just swap the Mind over Body slotting with the Sonic dispersion slotting for a better endurance efficiency.
Edit: lol..what happened tp my account?

For speed runs, unless you have something against the power, you will want SS and CJ. Ranged Defense is still completely viable without hover/fly. For master runs too, the stealth and -threat component in SS is invaluable.| I have 0 intent to solo with him. He's meant for teaming and not just any teaming. I use him for speed runs, master runs, anything where he happens to be just the right piece. |
For Master runs, more specifically the STF and RSF Sonic Cage is beast for the last mission of both of those TFs.
0 Endredux in Sonic Barrier/Haven will make your endurance bar cry every 4 minutes on full teams.
7.8 x 2 x 7 = 109.2 endurance used over 18.62 seconds. That's 5.865 EPS. After toggles you have 1.11 spare recovery.
Here's one of my characters I have a love/hate relationship with. Actually it's probably more like "love/apathy" and it's said apathy is worse than hate.
I won't get into the apathy part. There have been many threads about how "Sonic Resonance needs love" and I support that notion 100%.
On the other hand, I "love" this guy because sometimes, a Sonic is just what you need. Got a FFer? A couple of Crabs? Maybe a Widow and a Cold? Then Sonic makes a great complementary set.
Anyway, I'm not here to sell Sonic, nor to bury it, rather just to show the build I just whipped up.

Build highlights:
Soft-capped Range Def
Hard-capped S/L Resists
Yes I'm cheating with Centrioles, I need to use the 30 or so I have for something.
Health will have Miracle and Numina uniques. Stamina 3 Perf Shifters, including proc.
