Pain / sonic build choice: does fire/cold def matter?

[Bastille Boy]

I just got my Pain/Sonic defender to level 50, and I'm making choices about the final build. The original plan was to go with a Pain variant of Linea's Emp/Sonic build Strauss. This build has softcap defense to smashing/lethal, fire/cold, and energy. Resistances are decent all the time, and they are at or near hardcap when Rune is up. The build is nowhere near perma-haste. (Pain doesn't have Fortitute, so there's even less recharge than in the original.) World of Pain is always up nevertheless.

I am wondering if it's worth it to invest in fire/cold defense. If I give up on fire/cold, I can get in more recharge and a -res proc on Dreadful Wail. If I give up 2.5% of S/L defense (still over soft-cap), I can get in still more recharge.

I will be playing mostly but not only on teams. I will be debuffing and attacking aggressively. Since both powersets have important PBAoE powers, I will often fight from melee range, though I'll sometimes jump back from the enemies to howl at them.

 

Any advice?

 

p.s. I know that I could build for ranged and melee defense if I weren't taking the Sorcery pool, but I've decided I want Rune and Mystic Flight for this toon.

note on sorcery

[Onlyasandwich]

Fire cold defense is easy to skip out on if you have smash and lethal energy covered. Most fire and cold attacks have a smash or lethal component.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr we can focus on s/l/ranged defense and get more recharge and general protection to everything in the game instead.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr we can focus on s/l/ranged defense and get more recharge and general protection to everything in the game instead.

 

That's a shiny build. Thanks, Darkir! I think it's worth mentioning that it also softcaps energy defense.

ehhh, its not really, this is basically a M/R def softcap build. I am not aware of any melee attacks that are pure typed dmg and if there are, they are so few that they are hardly worth mentioning. So the energy defense will really only help you with pure typed aoes that dont have a melee or range tag.
