The build looks fun :-D One other thing -
Ragnarok's Chance for Knockdown proc works nicely in Howl (it kinda does what Shockwave should have). It's not too expensive either.

I spies a lobster!

Shout is great for PvP, provided the situation is under control so that the rooted time doesn't get you killed. Used last in your attack chain it can really hit high.

Defender nukes are more useful if you have a way to recover quickly (which I assume you do with Heat Loss). Also remember the control aspect...mag 3 disorient for around 15 seconds? Off the top of my head. You can use it for more of an AoE hold than a nuke.

To be honest I think they lied the most about Controllers. Their description made me think they would be unable to kill anything without a team...oh how wrong I was. On topic, Defenders aren't that hard to solo, I guess it just requires a bit more planning/understanding of your strengths and weaknesses.

Just as an added thought, if you did want something to stack with Petrifying Gaze, Psychic Mastery has Dominate AND Telekinesis, which already stack with each other.

I vote it doesn't suck :-D and that's from a /sonic defender, with even lower damage than you blasters..

so much fun!

I can't think of anything constructive to say except how devestasting this build will probably be in PvP (I know your other one is...) sigh. Thanks for the help though

Elec/elec/elec is fun! Now they added Surge of Power it's much easier to blap, which is what elec/elec is great at anyway. It all complements each other nicely, and covers its own weaknesses better than say, elec/devices or whatever.

Changing my nuke bind from a simple warning the team that I was about to nuke, to an actual bind that executed the power as well as warned. I nuked pretty much the center of the "debt room" in a sewers mission map, and entire roomfull of behemoths came over to party. Learned from this: memorise your binds XD

And also spent about 800k influence attempting to rid my toon of a weird symbol that appeared on her chest....I even reported a bug after about an hour of despair. Then someone in Icon informed me it was my SG emblem O:-)

(new player, still no excuse...)

I find elec/elec complement each other well, and still never felt inspired to roll an energy/energy. The energy secondary just seems a bit...pfft. I would love to see a sonic secondary for blasters, Sound manipulation or something. Not res debuffs as such but perhaps a few mezs and perhaps a similar version of liquefy (from the sonic resonance set)
