Example Of Banshee Dilemma

[HAYABU5A]

thought id dust off banshee and take her for a spin, i like the frame so optimized her a bit with forma and play to her strengths

 

so here we are in a team playing fairly high level defense

im sonaring with perfect timing and heavies are dying fast

sonic booming mobs away from the cyropod like a boss hitting all the right angles

even throwing in a few soundquakes in to lock up large waves so team mow them down

hell i even had a pistol amp on giving the team +60% dmg

 

but then i got the soundquake bug and was frozen in the floor kneel position

for 2 waves i was pinned there while waiting to leave, all i could do was watch.. team was onviously overwhlemed but pulled thru

 

i comment i cant help and all i got as the final wave was ending:

 

"WE DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE OF HAVING YOUR BANSHEE"

 

"I DIDNT NOTICE YOU"

 

the real kicker is, these sorta comments are normal when u try to give banshee some play time

come now let us bring banshee the level of respect other frames enjoy, she has a awesome design and so much potential 

alot of players want her tweaked/some changes, surely its time now

 

i digress if this is already in the pipeline and appreciate it if that is so

I wish I could get all of her parts but it sounds like your team wasn't thankful for your help

That Soundquake bug does need to be fixed; when I got her a few weeks back and I was leveling her, I was constantly getting stuck like that, and the only thing that fixed it was dying. :\

 

Banshee needs to be reworked, or at least buffed in a few places. Silence...

[KnorrSoup]

It's because she's the best support frame and she's not a damage dealer. Most likely if you did the same defence over again, they'd have a much harder time.

 

Ortheymightjustbejealousthattheycan'tgether...

 

Either way, that bug does suck, a lot.

that silence seems to be as useful mags shield polarize.

Yup. Ever since the introduction of weapon silencer mods, it became useless. It needs to be changed entirely...

 

In regards to Mag's Shield Polarize, you may as well just Pull a couple times.

[Tevye]

What? I find shield polarize to be pretty useful.

Hope they fix the bug soon. Was super excited to put her systems in to production today. I think banshee looks like a ton of fun to play!

It's a shame your team acted like that. Every player helps the team, putting off you efforts like that is just rude.

Fixed that for you.

 

Regardless, I would love to see Banshee get the Rhino treatment: (Note: this is a hyperbole)

 

Sonic Boom: Forcefield damage

Sonar: Double the damage boost

Silence : ... F*** knows, maybe some kind of shield boost.

Sound Quake: Boost range, double damage, armour ignore.

 

Banshee is now on Rhino/Nova/Mag level.

[KuroRockShooter]

Considering how hard it is to get Banshee parts, it should be a bit more powerful than other frames, just a tiney tiny bit.

 

I feel that her armor should be increased to 50, shields and health can stay.

Sonic boom shouldn't do too much damage, but the distance the enemies are thrown back can be upgraded

Sonar can use less energy or increase the damage boost further.

Silence can just be replaced by something else

The stupid glitch in sound quake HAS to be fixed. Armour ignore can also be implemented for this.

 

Banshee should be more of a caster instead of a frame which is like Mag/Cal/Ash

[VentiGlondi]

Apparently dealing quintuple damage and enemies flying away from the pod are pretty normal things to people you've been playing with.

While I have no idea how to buff sound quake (there's no need for another nuke), silence could be fixed by putting some control effect that makes sniping easier on it. Stun, slow-down, whatever.

Easiest buff for Sound Quake? Shorten the animation. Let her have the same cast time as Rhino Stomp.

[fatpig84]

Sound quake, instead of rooting her on the ground should let her move around instead.

You know kinda like Dota's Sand King.

 

And that should fix the annoying SQ bug.

Sound quake either need more focus on crowd control, or more damage. It's stuck in the middle at the moment.

Silence needs removing and replacing.

Then banshee will be much more useful, even though sonic boom and sonar are good.
