Sonic/Rad Post Issue 27, Page 4 Build

[yzdragel]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some input and comments on an old build that I'm slightly repurposing for the new Page 4 changes to Sonic.  The only main difference is I added 5 slotted Screech and slotted it with Armageddon and moved some other powers around to fit Screech in early.

 

I am curious about whether Shockwave, Sirens Song, or adding Shriek in addition to (or in lieu of) Scream are recommended.

 

Also curious if others have builds they can share (even if different secondaries, but mostly curious about this pairing) or recommendations about different power pools, slotting choices, or powers.

Shockwave, perhaps...

Siren's Song, absolutely... 

Scream + Shriek, not necessary

As a corruptor, DO NOT take your Tier 1.  
Save that power slot to take Siren's Song. 
That's another advantage Corruptor has over the Defender's sonic blast. 
You can pick there.  
Defender's cannot skip the tier 1. 

Don't take Shockwave. 
 

[yzdragel]

Thanks.

 

Yeah, I was planning on skipping Shriek unless someone made a good justification for it.

 

I was thinking of Screech over Sirens Song, but will get Sirens Song instead.  It's basically the same with 5 slotting at this point.

 

Any other thoughts on the build or any other Sonic Corruptors that anyone has to share after the change?

 

 

[Parabola]

I would never not take Shockwave. It is a 100% knockback power barring misses which makes it very reliable. Slot it with a kb->kd, ff+rech and a couple of other procs and you have a power that gives soft control and accelerates the rest of your build. You are going to be blasting away with cones most of the time anyway so you may as well rotate all three.

[Meknomancer]

Shockwave is fantastic, soft control and with an ff+rech and an overwhelming force in you can cycle it with howl and sirens song to shred mobs. 

[Meknomancer]

And don't skip screech its a heavy hitter now.

[Uun]

I just respeced my Poison/Sonic defender for the Page 4 changes. I added Screech and dropped Scream (defenders have to keep Shriek) and slotted Siren's Song (was previously 1-slotted). I don't have room in the build to slot both Howl and Shockwave. Currently keeping Howl, as it has -res and Shockwave doesn't, but I think the arguments in favor of Shockwave are also valid.
