Next on the list: Sonic/Time

So, I've gotten into a rhythm of leveling a melee character, followed by a ranged, and the rotation is now to something I haven't leveled seriously since the days of CoV's launch: a Corruptor.

I also haven't played much with Sonic (and none at all with Time), and I have an AWESOME robot/mecha costume that would work perfectly with these powersets. Plus, the -Res from Sonic goes well with Time, amirite?

I *am* having some build issues, though. To put it in context, I love to team, I level mostly through TFs but I would like the option to solo.

My questions are these:

Is Siren's Song *necessary* to solo?
Where could I find slots to slot Shockwave (and include the OF proc, of course)?
How are you supposed to slot Slowed Response? I see it's a TAoE, but I don't have slots in this build to slot what I would consider appropriately.
Right now, the build sits at 52.3 Ranged DEF (with perma-Farsight), but not-quite-perma Chrono Shift or Hasten. Is there a way to massage the DEF a little lower to perma these?

Any tidbits would be appreciated: Budget's not *really* an issue, but I'd like to keep a leveling build in mind, and work toward things like the 4 Cyto's as I hit the 40s or so.

Unless you are using the Leaderships and others as IO mules I see this build gasping for endurance. I am currently running a Sonic/Time (Along with a few other alts) but I'm finding less need for ranged defense as I use to. Teamed or solo the baddies are either taking to long to hit me before they're "defeated" or their just about "defeated" when they get a hit on me.

Myself I went more +rech and +dmg in my build (Which I'll post at the end). One thing I felt like asking because you took and slotted heavily where as I skipped it...How is Time's Juncture helpful?!

How is it helpful?

I don't know, how do you think a -To Hit, -Damage, -Recharge aura would be helpful for a build that relies on Defense to survive?
