Respec your powers towards damage on ED. It takes half their barriers without a combo on gold.

Judging by his last post, All-a-Mort is apparently talking about taking down Banshees specifically in single player.

You don't play a lot as an Infiltrator, do you? =)

Uh, I've played through insanity twice as an infiltrator. Banshees have no weakpoints. Brutes have armor plating, which just stop a fixed amount of damage before being destroyed. The spine isn't a weak point (you don't get a damage multiplier)--you just avoid the armor plates.

Anybody who says you're wrong is .... well wrong. You're completely correct.

Banshees have no weakpoints (counter intuitive since you would think shooting it in the head is better. But no damage multiplier whatsoever. So shoot the belly or chest, much easier targets.)

And Brutes have no "weak points", just parts of the body which are armored. Avoid shooting the armored parts and it all does the same damage.

Yep. I do not do multiplayer. On every other occasion I have felt ED to be potent, but as an Infiltrator, despite the damage evolutions of ED, the damage to a Banshee's barrier at level 6 is frankly trivial and my weapon talents do not compensate. Compared to one of  my biotic runs (where combos made Banshees a joke), I find them considerably more challenging.
As I said in another thread, I do wish people would keep MP posts in the MP forum. For the most part, this is not the right place for such discussions.

Warp and Overload, also when I got Dark Channel from Javik it worked pretty great. I used Dark Channel and had Garrus and Liara using Overload and Warp and they were gone in seconds (Playing as a Vanguard). Or you could just try a good shotgun that also works

But they do have heads, and head shots deal 20% extra damage

The way they programmed how the Banshee takes damage, I'm inclined to believe the "head" is cosmetic. If the entire body takes the same amount of damage, then the headshot bonus you get won't register since the game doesn't see it as a "head volume". And from what I've seen, my Black Widow 5 does no more damage to the head with my infiltrator spec'ed for headshot damage than shooting a Banshee in the chest.

Well its highly dependent on your class.

As an Infiltrator - cloak (with sniper rifle bonus)+good sniper rifle (Widow/Black Widow /Javelin upgraded to max) with high-caliber barrel and piercing mod + disruptor/AP ammo.

As an Adept - biotic combos (warp+throw is best) gets any enemy flatlined real quick. Also if you play single-player - take one teammate with biotic powers (Javik/Liara), makes anoyne go BOOM real nice. Also Javik's lift grenades combined with Adept cluster grenades - are beasty effective againist big enemies (can take down Atlas in seconds, think same goes for banshees), but ammo is limited, so use them wisely.

Brutes are absolutely destroyed by cryo blast + incinerate.

Or wait, was it sabotage + incinerate? Been a while since I played an engineer.

usually it goes sabotage then 2 incinerates

Brutes are dumb. They love drones, toss a drone out ahead of them and they'll happily stop and play with it for a long time. Then apply all other usual armor killing options.

Banshees in SP do not bother me like they do in MP because they have little support. The main thing is having an awareness of where you are to be able to mover/fall back when they jump at you. As long as you do not lose mobility (get trapped in a corner) they really can't get you.

I had a team of all vanguards once and let me say 4 angry krogans alternating charge and melee will destroy anything in a matter of seconds. additionally the added benefit of constant biotic charges keeps the enemy staggered so they immediately drop any player they grab

You can spam all your squadmates' 6/12 grenades at once if they're out of sight or behind you. Insane damage output

[Gexora]

in addition to what everyone else said - esp biotic comboes - if you are a really good vanguard on a non-laggy pc, charge banshees and backpedal. It works wonders
