He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Hey mate,
As with the build, I have no idea what the recommended powers are for a sonic or empathy type character, so I'm stuck in the mud so to speak as to what to put in :/

Gosh really? Absorb Pain? That seriously seems like thats a slot/power that could be used much more effectively on just about ANY other power short of like Presence-Taunt or something. Personally, I find that to be a useless skill. If you're willing to suicide yourself for the party while they get in way over their heads I guess, but I wouldnt ever take that power on any empath. The whole "cant be healed" thing is just annoying, along w/the way the power is designed.

Absorb Pain has never got me killed. Only Stupidity does with capital S. By that I mean bad position at a bad time usually.
Its saved stupid enough times too.
Hell I like to joke by putting myself in the red sometimes just to frighten people.

I can recommend this thread. It's not specifically about Empathy/Sonic, but the builds I contributed were. I'm no authority on Empathy, mind you.
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.
Silas's guides pretty much nail what guides should be like to me. Never found fault with them when I read any of them. Knew it all already but the humour was a great addition.

It's really not that big a deal.
Odds are the enemy doesn't even see you, so you basically have to watch for splash damage.
As long as you're not pulling hella agro, and have some sort of stealth/invis you should be good.
you could always pop a Luck/Sturdy after AP'ing if you think a mob is looking at ya.
perma jump is ---> /up 1

I avoided it for a long time for lack of a better choice in powers. However, after getting Incandescence as an incarnate ability I don't mind it so much anymore. Reason being is that if I have that on I can still use Healing Aura to keep my self topped off if I use it and a couple baddies are looking my way. Still, don't use the power too much, mostly as a NPC oh snit heal but its nice to have there.

G'day everyone!
I've never played a defender before, and I have been recommended to try a sonic empathy!
But as I am on a mac, I don't have acess to Mid's so I'm relying on my fellow gamers input
Any advice on how to build my defender?
Advice must appreciated.
