Banshee

[WitchofDread]

If you were to make a banshee character, what sets would you take? Would it even be a corr?

[Carnifax]

If you're going with "Makes the weirdest noises" then Time/Sonic. That's what I picked for my Troll DJ. 

 

But as a banshee maybe Sonic/Dark (although I'd probably go the Dark/Sonic defender route) or Sonic/Sonic. The Fear and "petrified hold" in Dark Miasma would suit a Banshee down to the ground. 

[WitchofDread]

Dark/sonic def was my thinking as well tbh

[Carnifax]

Had it on live. It's a good combo. Animations are a little slow but you have lots of tricks. And the best sounding power in the game in Howling Twilight. 

[WitchofDread]

Dark miasma is great. I have a few characters with it.

Incidentally, there's an SFX mod for sonic that makes it sound like a banshee. do a search for @Solarverse 😃

Is it a Banshee or is it Memorex (or the mating call of a distressed Humpback).  You tell me.

Like Wakanda we here in Ireland didn't share our superior technology for 600 years, until the mid 80s when we decided that mankind could benefit from our shiny round CD technology. 

 

 

[Six-Six]

Watch the Celts, though. they smuggled some out to ye olde black market. 😃

 

[WitchofDread]

my only major concern is the damage potential of sonic tbh

Procs can help a little. You can lob a couple onto most normal attacks and Petrifiying is like Time Stop (my Sonic is Time/Sonic) in that you can get 1 purple and 3 standard damage procs in there (plus a Lockdown if you like). 

 

Nice thing is Sonics -Res will bolster those procs.

This is what i have together so far.

The one I have uses a combination of both male and female screams. The idea behind it is that it is the screams of all the souls that the banshee has taken and the only way they can scream is if the banshee lets them. So naturally the banshee scream would be a combination of both male and female. That's only in my own head logic though, but the head lore does help to make the mod more gender neutral.

Ah, I think I had it confused with your male + female taunt. 😃

On the taunts I have 3 different ones. One is a panther roar that I have set up for females, the other is the roar of a lion for males and the last is the old school taunt we had back before i7 or i8 I think it was. Good mods for cat people!  🙂

How's it drive? Thinking about one of these as my main support character. 

[The_Warpact]

I rolled one today as a corr, just because, I haven't had a corr since live.

Plus, I did alot of reading on banshee, Revenants, keening, etc. 

Great stuff to read while sitting in an ER...seriously I had time to kill.

Some of us have angry ex-girlfriends?

 

On topic, I've also got a sonic/dark cor that's an homage to a singer I dig. I could see that workin well for a banshee.
