WTFLOLBBQ? I don't know how you play a banshee but first let me explain the mods I use and I'll address the other nonsense you stated.

Focus (Power damage), Streamline (Energy cost reduction), Stretch (Power range), Continuity (Power duration), Redirection (Shield Capcity), Rush (Sprinting speed).

Redirection and Rush aren't necessary, however imo Focus, Streamline, Stretch, and Continuity are a must have for a support banshee.

You are correct about sound quake. It is dangerous and leaves you open to enemy fire. On the other hand if you leave yourself open to enemy fire then, as you say, 'youre doing it wrong'. Sound quake with Stretch has ridiculous range and can cover entire rooms in some (not all!) defense mission maps. Another thing to note is the ability goes through walls and simple postioning can remedy your issue. I.E hiding behind crates or walls.

Your Sonar statement confuses me a bit. I never stated Sonar, or any damage buffs/debuffs, are required for anything. Warframe is a game that doesn't NEED specific class or roles for any mission, even in defense. Objectively, having a 500+% damage increase available in can help toward success. Subjectively, it makes tearing down Ancients, Heavy grineer, or whatever easy as pie... especially when they aren't so neatly grouped up for other frames Ultimate blasts!

Saying Silence is worthless isn't true UNLESS you somehow figured out how to become omnipotent, that is, aware of every single banshee player in warframe dispostions' toward Silence.

TD;DR  Banshee support isnt essential (no frames are by themselves), but denying her usefulness is ignorant. =0
