Sonic/Ice Build - Thoughts?

[iltat]

My current slotting has me at 48% Def (Smash/Lethal/Energy/NEnergy) and 42% Def (Fire/Cold) as well as lots of cones and AoEs. Thoughts?

Not really sure what you're shooting for here to be honest. You stack up a lot of recharge, but don't get perma hasten even though you're in the speed pool anyway. I think you're chasing defense, but then you don't slot weave for defense (yes, it's not a huge return, but every bit counts at the margin). Personally I'm not fond of pets, so I don't really get why you'd grab the PPP pet, but that a personal preference thing I guess. I also understand that the ice T9 is quite good (while I have a lvl 50 ice armor build, I found it lacking and didn't really chase optimizing it, though others have). 

[iltat]

My thought was to focus on defense primarily with recharge as the secondary along with crowd control. I didn't bother slotting up Weave because my S/L and E/N damage types hit the defense soft cap and Fire /Ice was already so close, so it seemed more useful to throw additional slots in damage and recharge. While Hasten isn't permanent, it's close enough that the downtime seems insignificant. 

[drbuzzard]

Ah, just noticed you had hasten. Nevermind. Just stick in 50+3 common IOs and you're good. 

 

As for more defense, it is always better. There's debuffs and incarnate to justify grabbing as much defense as possible.
