Cause while I was doing the holloween challenge, I was having problems with banshees warping up to me and instantly grabbing me. They didn't melee me first. They didn't melee anything first!
I like playing medium/close range classes. I thought I knew just how frisky I could get in melee range with a banshee. But now they're changing the game on me!
Is it just me? has anyone else noticed this?
The boss units are supposed to have to melee you first before they can sync kill right?

There's a reason no one gets within melee range of a Banshee you know.

No Banshee are set up for a Sync kill by teleporting unlike all the other bosses.

If you get sync killed then it's because you stayed too close for too long

what? but I've been zipping around with them in melee on my valkyrie all the time and I never have any trouble...why am I just noticing this now?
I've been doing the same things with them that I always do and now I'm getting sync killed when I wouldn't before!

Banshees can instantly sync kill, they don't need a melee first. I've had whole teams wiped out because banshees teleport next to them, and sync kill before we even had a chance to move. I've also had vanguards basically grabbed mid-charge and then sync-killed.
Most other enemies need a melee before a sync kill, but not banshees. It just seems you were lucky before and were unlucky today.

Nope, banshees have always had an insta sync-kill. Hence, you know, magnet hands.

Nah, with Banshee as long as you keep your distance you should be fine. The issue is if she teleports through a wall right next to you; in that instant, she will sync-kill you without any sort of warning. I don't understand why the devs coded it that way, but they did. She is the only boss that doesn't have to give a warning when she goes for a sync-kill.
Atlas melees
Phantoms melee
Brutes give you plenty warnings(I still say they do it primarily to Krogans because those are the only people I ever see get grabbed by Brutes)
Praetorians oddly enough can be escaped if you're careful even if they get within melee range; if you stay in their range for too long, they'll sync-kill ya.
Scions I still have yet to experience nor see a sync-kill. o.o

Is there a set save window. I use to melee her after her warp and stop as she aoecharges and it works 99/100. But thats not good enough for me. Any more details about when she can and cant sync?

seen banshees pull players from about 10 feet away. I think a good portion of this has to do with lag.

Eh, I live up in their grill. And sometimes die there very infrequently. It's a matter of knowing what you can get away with. They will not grab you when they are in ranged mode, I have light meleed a banshee to death several times and never been grabed when they are in ranged mode. The ramp and stair immunity as long as you don't get on the same level as them, you can go toe to toe with them. Any class with tech armor can usually break their grasp but I have been busted out of one grab only to be snatched up by her twin sister before a few times.Our_Last_Scene wrote...

Not really, a banshee can grab you w/o melee you first, such as atlas if you are close. but a scion can sync-kill you too without swinging his arm-cannon before.

Banshees can't sync kill you after they throw there warp / when there purple aura is not around (don't get confused with the power Barrier like the Phantoms and Praetorian have where they are immune to melee and power damage or the health Barrier but the aura that comes on when they scream and have the power to teleport)
I found a thread about how to avoid sync kills, I'll look for it and post the link here.

Not always. If you don't notice a banshee approaching from behind, and she warps the last 15m and ends up right next to you, there's a fair chance that she will pick you up without warning, or even giving you a chance to dodge when you see her magically appear right next to you.
I've had this happen to me a couple of times when trying to kill some other banshee or brute.

I normally spec most of my kits for force and damage for this very reason lol. I tend to stagger or missile bosses if I can catch the sync-kill in time hence I stay near vanguards just in case. Still though, I don't like being close to Scions. They're worse than Brutes with the, "I'm not attacking you, but I'll damage you and stagger you anyway."Dilandau3000 wrote...

Banshee is supposed to 'randomly' sync-kill players. That was established and confirmed by the dev long time ago. Be glad that the latest patch kill her 'magnet hand' or at least reduce its frequency - a lot.
Other sync-killables are conditioned with 'melee first, sync-kill later'. However, they don't have to melee you to sync-kill you. They have to initiate the melee animation and they're good to go. I enjoy the scion's animation the most. Dat cannon XD.

Phantoms are the most predictable sync killers in my experience. I'm also pretty sure 90% of the times I've been sync killed were my fault.

Get close to any sync kill enemy, (even hust, abominations) expect to be dead after their done. If you manage to escape learn from your mistake and keep fighting.

Happened to me more than once while working through Slayer extractions. I want a piece of on-screen text when you accidentally hit charge on an instakill enemy "are you crazy?!" before calmly letting you lock onto a different target instead of gifting yourself to the Banshee hug of death.
