If you want to help a team steamroll large groups, it's difficult to beat /Sonic. There's also some very handy tools in there for when you find yourself soloing.
Kinetics is a wonderful set. Sonic/ also does very nice things, particularly when the team you're defending is heavy on defense. The sonic bubbles will soak up the hits that do slip through. Dark and Cold are both beautiful and can make AV fights a cakewalk with their debuffs.
But you may want to look into traps. You get a whole slew of toys to play with and it's not hard to get your recharge to the point that you can put a mortar down every other fight.
Personally, I'm rather a large fan of Dark/Sonic for the ease of keeping squishies alive but if you know you have a strong group waiting for you, something like Kinetics/Sonic will allow you to shatter the damage cap with a combination of Fulcrum Shift and enemies with their resists debuffed down 60%
Hey All, iv been playing CoH/V for the last 3 years or so, and i never really made a defender worth my while. Im more of a Tank/Scrap kinda of guy. Anyways, i have 2 tanks, 2 scraps and 1 troller at 50. Its time for a defender to reach that mark. I have no really idea where to start, iv been kinda of leaning towards Kinetic as a Primary, or Dark. As far for a secondary, no clue. I Do not have GR yet, hopefuly soon, but just have to deal without that for now. Any suggestions? Im looking more at a teamplayer. I like to be the defender everyone wants lol xD
