Fire or Sonic/Traps?

Hello! I am honestly just wondering if Sonic can compare to Fire, I find the -res to be good but the AoE's seems very weak and the ST's seem "Eh" compared to fires....Mainly because of the 2.67 cast time of Shout, but I don't know maybe the -res is good enough to make up for it? Oh and Acid Mortar with Achilles Heel and Devastations procs+Sonics -res semms very fun. Opinions and suggestions please. Thanks!

Fire for sure. More damage, Fireball, etc. etc. Just a great pairing with Traps.


Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes

AoE = Fire STD/-Res = Sonic


So if your goal is to put out the most orange numbers you can then go Fire. If you want to put a dent in hard targets like EB/AV/Boss/GM etc than I'd take Sonic. Also, if you plan to solo I'd pick Sonic as well. The AoE sleep (Sirens Call?) is a godsend to traps if you like to solo or small team.

If you want a mix of AoE Dmg and some debuffs+other tricks Dark/Traps is a pretty nasty combo.

Hey dude! I played with you the other night! What was your characters name? Lol I'm suprised that I found your post right above mine. Btw please check out my new Fire/Cold Corruptor Advice post, I think that build is a HUGE improvement over the Ice/Dark one.

Fire/Traps is just a fun fun toon. You get good ST damage, great AOE damage, mez protection on a squishie and all the -res and -regen you could ever ask for.


Nothing wrong with Sonic/Traps especially for big game targets solo but if your going that route then roll it as a defender and get the most out of the -res AT mods that they get
