have you try out some sort of 1 base VR pressure vs T in this match up? i think with the appearance on oracle, you no longer need to rush for a robo to counter banshee therefore VR build are definitely stronger in HoTS current meta game.
Im daed. Follow me @TL_NB

Super positional dependent, I tried rushing purifier against Zerg (with 4gate support) and it was pretty hit and miss.

And hey, Painuser killed me

Yes I've been playing around with VR based builds. There's probably something there but at the moment my builds have too many hole in them to be viable.

Awesome Battle Report Plexa, thanks for this.
I was watching Gretorp play PvT ladder vs ROOTDrewbie and Drewbie basically went Mass Warhound into Warhound/Battle cruiser. The composition looked extremely easy to pull off. Have you encountered this yet in PvT?

No, mostly Warhound/Marine or Warhound/Hellion - warhound+anything seems to be awesome.

About the hardened shield not being triggered by widow mine. It's not a bug, David Kim commented on this:

My TvP has been working just fine in HotS thank you very much
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes. Playing Protoss is like driving automatic, playing Terran is like driving stick.
