• You don't need both Shriek and Scream. Pick one.
• Don't skip Screech. It's the highest damage power in the set.
• Siren's Song is a high damage cone and worth taking.
• Split the Scouring Blast set into 2 groups of 3 to double up on the 10% recharge bonus.
• Slotting Shriek with %dmg procs isn't productive. It has a 3s base recharge, giving them a very low chance of firing.
• Frostwork isn't worth 6 slots. The +regen/+recovery proc won't work here and needs to be in an active power.
• Arctic Fog should be split between a defense set and a resist set. The F/C/E resists are worth enhancing and the set bonuses from Red Fortune aren't great.
• Sleet is a debuff and not worth slotting for damage. Slot 2x recharge IOs or 3-4 pieces of a Defense Debuff set.
• Maneuvers needs end reduction.
• 16 pts of knockback protection is WAY more than you need.
• Stamina is overslotted (and 2 of the enhancements don't do anything). Slot Performance Shifter end mod and %end.

Huh, I thought Screech and Sirens were low damage, perhaps changed since live?

Does this work in game? I thought you could only get unique bonuses once.

It does indeed work! Very handy little trick. You are limited to 5 of any same amount buff. So you can only have +10% recharge 5 times, a sixth will be ignored. 
 

But you can’t use (for example) 2 Acc/Dam enhancements from the same unique set in the same toon. So you would use a combination of all 6 divided, up however you please, in multiple powers. In this case Uun is recommending you split the six up into 2 sets of three in two different powers in order to get the +10 recharge twice.

It's also worth noting that even though it is a cone Siren's Song is one of the few cones that hits 16 targets. Always worth the pick up for that alone.

Indeed. Sonic Blast was revamped in 2022. Not everyone is happy with how the debuffs were changed, but the changes to the attacks were a huge improvement.

I believe for Numinas on Frostwork, it will proc on myself when I use the power on someone. At least thats how regen tissue works on Ground Zero for rad armor.
For Sleet, Artillery gives 4% ranged defense, which is hard to beat I think, same with Numinas large ranged defense at 6 slots.

With this its 41.5% ranged defense, 1514hp, 254% regen.
For Stamina, I am not quite seeing how to maximize the bonuses there with the slots available, but the goal was high rech and ranged def.

That's correct, but that's not where I was going. The proc has a 2 minute duration. If you slot it in a click power, you need to activate the power every 2 minutes to keep the buff active. Perhaps you use Frostwork differently than I do, but for me it's a situational power. I apply it to the tank when facing a particularly tough AV (usually in HMs). It's not a buff I regularly apply to multiple team members every 2 minutes. This is also why I suggested that it didn't require 6 slots. If you're using it as a mule for the set bonus, that's fine.
