I remember that ensnare does not always slow the attack of some units. For example, Ultralisk attack speed is not affected by ensnare.

Technically it's -1 Armor for each spore, so MOST units will end up doing +1 damage, but units like Goliaths and Scouts that have multiple-missile attacks end up doing +2 damage per hit.

In the zerg campaign I tried to fight the UED+Overmind with massive mutalisks...

THEY HAD DEV AND VALKS! WTF IMBA

18 per missile, 144 dmg per valk, and there's like 5/6 of them...

My 30 mutas just went woops! vanished

It decreases the units effective armor, meaning it will be like having negative armor.

This makes mutas amazingly strong because they can do 21 + 12 + 10 with the ricochet.

All this, yet somehow, most players morph pretty much all their mutalisks into devourers. Not only is it less effective to go pure devourer, but it costs more too. =(

i wonder if people could actually justify a devourer if it was lower on the tech tree. like for 2v2s zp vs z* they could in theory be so good. corsairs + devs.

i think the tech would have to be like much lower though, and of course that would never happen
then i stick my treasures in a treehole

No...mutas are much better for this.

Once they have 9 acid spores, you only need mutas. Mutas do WAY more damage and are small vs explosive damage.

?? devourers are used, in fact they're critical in any late game air wars for zerg
actually they're so good it wouldn't be fair to let zerg players get them before hive+greater spire

They don't have the armor or health that Devourers have, though. That's why most progamers just morph all their Mutas into Devourers. Theoretically though the best thing to do would be to have a small group of Mutas fly in and flank once the Devourers have applied 9 Spores.
