The real question is why Arbiters attack. | ||

Imagine Jackie Chan with hovering capabilities. Can you imagine how much ass that would kick? Now overlords. Those things can hold 8 slots worth of units. Wouldn't it make sense for them to pick up stuff like boulders and debris, and then drop them on enemies? It would make a great harassment tool. Onto Ravens. I can't believe the human race designed such an advanced combat aircraft, and didn't put a freaking gun on it. Oh it can fire these advanced heat seeking missiles, but can't fire a bullet! The least they could do is duct tape a pistol onto the side of it, and have it operated by remote control. overseers should shit banelings instead of changelings imoimo | ||

That being said. 2 workers from any race will kill a sentry. I just wanted to add some random information to feel like I was doing my part. | ||

Then have each of them change into some sort of robotic limb, and one of them change into a giant sword, and have them all assemble into a Power Rangers Gundam type thing. actually, on a more serious note, I wish changelings could do that  have some sort of weapon which could one shot a marine but un-disguises them. they had one in the lore, damnit! | ||

I can't believe an ultralisk has 100 more hitpoints than a bunker, has less build time than a mothership, attack as fast as a marine, has fifteen times the collision size of a zergling, gets a speed bonus on creep, burrows just as well as a baneling, is immune to snare, stun and mind control effects, can cast a level five fireball with a +2 damage modifier if you press a specific random sequence of buttons, has twice the cost of a chicken sandwich, and takes up less than half the supply of Jack Black. How dare you, Blizzard? I rofl'ed pretty hard, ooooh can we have a thread where we combine random facts to make every unit seem super OP? That would be fun. | ||

That will balance the game! + Show Spoiler + Sarcasm guys, chill Fungal -> can kill an unit Storm -> can kill an unit Thus attack is not needed. Ghost cannot kill an unit without a nuke. You see, unused or less used units in BW are generally units that cannot kills stuff or inefficient at killing stuff compare to other units, e.g. Dark Archon, Queen (until recently, good against mech now), Scout In fact if you look at the current SC2 air units. Phoenix can kill land units (lift) and air units. Corruptors can turn into Broodlords. Medivacs can heal. Essentially, all units have their roles even after their roles have been fufilled, e.g. phoenix as AA then if you have to many can lift up important units. Dropships/observers are the only units that cannot kill units in SC2. That's the reason why Sentries attack. snipe? or am i misreading your post | ||

The damage sentries do is negligible in relation to their cost, but is necessary because FF's don't do damage on their own. | ||

Oh, as for the running joke about arbitrary silly comparisons, let's see.... WTF is with the fact that Stalkers only cost 75 dollars in total more than a zealot, yet the stalker is 0,7 faster than the zealot AND has a range of 6? Also, if you take into factor that the roach only costs 100 dollars and fungal growth does 35 damage, we see that the zealot needs a buff. Sounds reasonable. | ||

Thats new to me 6 damage per second marines do 6 damage per .84 seconds or something, cna't remember exact number anymore, sentries used to do 8 damage per shot (and they used to fire faster than ever 1.00 seconds) which was absolutely retarded. You can ask orb | ||

But I love guys getting angered about such a clearly non serious blog, where I stated three times into it that the «goal» wasn't to make friggin sense regarding the current game. | ||

Just 2-3 games, you'll see how surprisingly strong certain (especially T1) units are. | ||

Hahahahah I don't know what but something about this post made me laugh. But as far as I'm concerned the sentry's attack is for balance purposes early game, eg fending off zerglings. The damage from sentries is negligible in the long run. | ||
