I recently started playing with POR instead of arbiter mostly because of his ability to capture hooks right off the bat without expending resource or having him lose health. I really just want to know any tidbit of information you can give me. I generally go sp, t, sp, sp, sg, vd, and then another vd if my opponent is building something that is countered by wraiths or a hall or a summit if wraiths aren't going to cut it. The one strategy i've been having trouble with consistently is a banshee spam. I find that early game covenant is vulnerable to early air b/c their best defense at tech 1 is grunts, which can be boosted around, or other banshees, which my opponent will usually have more of if initiating the banshee spamming. Prophet's beam is too easily dodged by banshees so I can't just upgrade him. If I see a summit should I save for tech 2 and get vampires? The only time I've been successful against banshees with prophet is when they fail to micro b/c beam>banshees. If there is a reactor, banshees are not problem, but on maps like release I get pounded. I faced the same person twice on release both times he went banshees, the second time I anticipated banshees before I even scouted... I still lost.

So my question is how can I counter a vuture spam more effectively
