After a few years without playing BW(started to study, took up most of my time), I'm going to start playing again. I play protoss. Even though I started playing SC when it came out, I've never been a good player, but now I want to learn it better. To do this, I need your help!

This is what I need:
1. A build that works fine against the current most used terran build
2. A build that works fine against the current most used zerg build
3. A build that works fine against the current most used protoss build
4. A practice partner on Bnet or iCCup.

I've seen many builds on Liquipedia, but I just don't know which one to choose. Also, any other tips/help is very much appreciated!

lots of people ask questions like the OP did, its easier to tell them to liquidpedia so they A) Know where to get more information B) get the exact right build order and C) Get even better tips/content.
Considering learning BW

But he already knows about liquipedia, he is asking for most commonly used builds that work against most openers, like personal experience and stuff.

why would u want to play bw when sc2 is out -.-.

I didnt play protoss but 1gate core into reavers was pretty fun in pvt and you want to pratice the fastepand vs zerg.

i think 2 gate goon is the standard safe build, though many are going for something a bit faster expo because of the large maps.

I'll play with you!

Did you even read his post before posting?

I have no idea you would post "use liquiepdia" to someone new who knows builds but is overwhelmed and doesn't know which one to pick.

And as far as I know my recommended builds are perfectly fine for his request for builds "build that works fine against the current most used builds".

1. 1gate core -> 2gate goon expand
2. forge FE into (sair DT or archons)
3. 2gate reaver
4. hit me up, ID: hp.shell
I'm probably at a skill level of 1100 or so, just barely above D-. I play P, so I'd be a PvP pp.
Please PM me with any songs you like that you think I haven't heard before!

I just threw up in my mouth a little


OP - I'm planning on starting BW soon as Terran - trevabob on Iccup - I'll give you a game or two sometime, probably resulting in confidence boosting wins for you :p

I did, and I'm repeating it again cause theres no reason he can't find which build to use. Every common build on liquipedia has a really nice description, he's just being lazy

this looks pretty good, except for vZ i would recommend learning:
-forge FE-> +1 zlot/ht, movie build, and sair/reaver (in that order)
