Sonic got the shaft

[drbuzzard]

Now unless I'm missing something, it appears that while in most cases of sentinel primaries, they were given some damage buffing to mez powers to offset the reduction in range and AOE target number. Sonic, however, did not. It is already AOE poor (shockwave does fairly lousy damage and egregious knockback), so I'd like to think it would be good on single target, but no. It has Siren's Song and Screech, both mez effects which do zilch damage. Siren's Song is an AOE, but it's a damned sleep, so meh. Screech is a decent stun, but for nil damage.

 

I built a sonic/dark and I figure at this point he's just going to sit unless this primary gets some love. Once you have shout, the only power to look forward to is dreadful wail. Not I don't mind a set which has some skippable powers, but 3 of 9? That's a bit excessive.

Rejoice, for you have missed something: Screech did become a high damage attack, and it is beautiful.

Siren Song is great for adds, or mezzing a group of annoying critters so you can pick them off one by one.

Ok, if screech hits hard, I may continue to work the guy up. Thanks.
