If u go mines to wraith and they exp its pointless, theyll contain you eventually in turn making the wraiths useless. Ud have to contain them before they contain u :O
How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal and you have to be willing to work for it. Jim Valvano

Wraiths are VERY useful in some maps , almost all cliff maps . Good examples are JS(Boxer goes Wraiths there EVERY game) and Char.I know and practice several very strong uses of wraiths , but I won't discuss them any more cause its CLASSIFIED.^^

Edit:Im so stupid at times ^^.
MadFrog : In my opinion, the biggest reason why WC3 is dying is because it is not such a great game as Brood War is.

if you dont get cloaking asap you might die to a very fast 1-2marine 1-2 goliath 1 tank some scv attack, i've won quite a few games that way vs careless terrans
Great minds might think alike, but fastest hands rule the day~

Hmm when you have those units, I'm pretty certain a normal T would have a tank by then, or cloak. 1 tank + wraiths is enough to fend of those rines+gols.

wraiths are a make it or break it depending on map style + spot dist + player strength in usage
gols are more all rounder/safer in general

Start out with 2 fac vults, kill scv if you can otherwise mass mine to stall him. SG when econ allows(place it were he dont see it), and exp ASAP, no more vults. What you see him doing(you have your rax there I hope) will determine next step.

1. He FE
Attack with 3-4 wraiths from 1 sg get some scv if you can, it will make him do some gols(stall him further). Expand more, scout drop and exes with your 3-4 wraiths that you didnt waste. Get up a nice tank army.
2. He goes drop.
Have scouts around map so ull know were hes gonna hit so you can shoot it down, also get cloak. Expand ,get more air and mass tanks.
3 He goes air, get scanner instead of cloak, u will have some more wraith if he make cloak.

Some strats of many in tvt which is the best mirror-mu i think.

Wraiths are excellent for cliff... you make almost impossible for the enemy to drop on your tanks so they MUST defend from low ground agains sieged tanks.

and even better are those strat switches like nada likes to do, to start pumping wraiths in the middle of the game.
Im back, in pog form!

1. Barrack scouting
2. Even without barrack scouting goliaths are too popular.

This, I think appliest mostly to non-gosu games.

haha thx evanslayer
well, i will try to write better
long time ago, all players were doing wraith coz gosu players do wraiths
but, the fact of us be such a n00b, make the wraith worthless
only now we are realizing that, and stop making wraith!!
got it?
