If its any other units than reavers in the TWO shuttles.. doesnt matter snipe the shuttles even if u dont your army is better you didnt waste 400 precious minerals in a mirror m/u on shuttles.. Secondly after this odd fast as fuck tech.. why the fuck do you have 2 reavers and no shuttle.. unrealistic because shuttle comes before the first reaver unless u seriously blow. Now since you have the shuttle and reaver you should be harrasing his mineral lines and hoping for some probe kills. keep 2 goons by main min line with 1 obs for a possible dt drop. keep ur army at your choke with an obs to get the dt if he tries to just walk into your base. After killing whatever the fuck he had in those TWO shuttles pressure his base.. doesnt matter if u lose ur units you expo'd and he went for a templar archives/ citadel of adun / and robo.. and TWO shuttles.. he should have jack shit pretty much and it should be GG.. if its not its 2 base to one and only a complete noob can fuck up the game at this point. Honestly unrealistic as fuck question. | ||

1. I would just camp at my base with goons around mineral lines until i had a shuttle to harass with ( why the fuck wouldn't i have a shuttle at this point unless somehow the enemy's second shuttle is mine and he MC'd it.) 2. I would easily defend dt drop seeing how i went goons and robo and his DT attack is so late because not only did he make templar tech he made robo tech and 2 shuttles so thats a fucking long time before his shuttles come. After easily defending the DT drop i would type "LOL" and then i would go on to type "you must be the guy who wrote in the strategy forum about going hallucinate PvP. Nope this strat didn't work either keep trying" | ||

> Order your Observer to chase enemy Shuttles. > Back off 2-4 Goons to deal with Shuttles. > Scout around for proxy Robo. He probably invested fortune in tech, so I guess sneaking Shuttles to his base for harass will be quite easy. If he went for DT you need that Obs close to his Shuttles and just couple of units to deal with whatever he drops. When you are sure you scouted his base completely without seeing Robo, look for proxy. Also, he might got some kind of ninja expo, so maybe you should look for it as well. | ||

You're moving out of your base to expand yourself, now that you have obs. I'm still trying to figure out some more details before I put it into play. What I believe can happen by the 7-8 minute mark, I know it's a full minute, but numbers aren't down yet, is to have 3 shuttles out, but one real shuttle. I opened with DT, but I'm thinking about putting it to one gate, to help speed things up. I should also put that there is 4 probes on the gas, to bring in gas just that much faster. 4 probes does not make you mine gas faster unless it's a certain map. Most maps these days 3 probes can sufficiently mine a gas as fast as possible. Having 4 would make no difference.

The best answer here would be to just straight up go for it and kill me. You may have to deal with 2 fake shuttles absorbing some fire, but one may still not suspect hallucinations. Since I didn't expand, I have a ramp to help me out immensely. Part of the reason for my army moving out is to try to snipe any counter harass as well as provide a fake front. I dunno, I was watching some replays for timings last night, seems like a complex idea, but I don't even know if timings would allow this with other builds yet. The best answer here would be to camp with your goons for a few extra seconds while you send your obs out to scout and your reavers to drop harass. I can kill at least 5 dragoons with range with 2 reavers and a shuttle, and with your build i would assume you can't possibly have 5 goons with range since the tech route you chose plus 2 shuttles. If your going to do a 3 pronged attack that involves shuttles and deception, why not just use a standard reaver build and go 2 shuttles. Why would you want to drop DT instead of reaver. 1 DT can't do shit especially if the opponent has goons / obs. | ||
