Check out idra vs xiaozi game 2 @ 13:22 (highlander Ro8)
plagued marines don't get healed by medics within range.
Only thing i did it successfully so far was
+ Show Spoiler +
move the medic manually (by pressing M) on anything within range be it vessels marine or building

I don't know about you but i didn't know you could do this.

Ps : I don't care if you got spoiled as to who qualified in Ro8 because the reps were released since 1 week. Cry somewhere else thanks Be happy i didn't spoil the xiaozi/idra game.

This was mentioned in a Starcraft Weekly vod by Artosis. He gave credit to a European Terran I think. Nifty trick.

Yeah if you use m move with your medics they won't waste energy on healing the plagued ones.

Plagued marines always get their hp to red, no matter how good your medic is, thus wasting medic energy for nothing. And then finally no energy out for later battles. That's the 2nd strong point about plague.
Couldn't watch artosis vods sorry cauz i'm deaf. Would have been really helpful if there were sub but we can't please everybody eh ?

Pretty neat trick though.

If i remember correctly, plague does 300 damage or something similar. In a perfect scenario, medic would have to spend like 150+ energy to finally be able to recover the marine. It's huge.

I dont understand, did you just learn that if you order your medics to move - they move, and if you tell them to attack-move, they heal friendly units? Or is there some other trick hidden - Im not trolling, I cant find the vod and have no idea what happened.

cool, I knew of the method but didn't think to apply it in this way. I think some use the same method to get arbiters to follow the protoss army around and have it not attack anything. you can make anything follow without doing it's normal actions like acquiring targets using this method, it's like a "force follow." wonder if there's any other applications for this?

if you right click on something, the medic will go to it's target and then heal stuff nearby

Just select all ur medics from your group and press M then click a marine, or a vessels, or a building. They will simply follow them without healing the marines around. Don't forget to make them heal again once the plague goes off (type stop, hold, patrol, or a-move whatever).
Read my blog again, it tells you when and which game to look (highlander xiaozi vs idra game 2)

It's even worse.
On marines that is.
Restoration is only usefull for vessels, and still you have to be pretty quick to get rid of all those plagued vessels if they got stacked.

Restoration = 50 energy cost.
The trick i mentionned : 0 energy cost.
See what i mean ?
