i know the old saying that cannons are dragoons that cannot move but i noticed that 2 hits from a dragoon cannot kill a zergling but 2 shots from a cannon can kill them.

is this the plasma damage that i have heard about?
wtf is the damage type of cannons i know the dragoon is explosive 20 damage.

hmm plz explain. thx

dragoon does explosive damage which does half damage to small units such as zerglings
so goons do 10 damage to lings and rines and such

he just said he already knew goons were explosive...

cannons are normal damage type for some reason... i guess 125 mins and 50 gas isn't enough to install better portable cannons >_> silly protoss


edit: o and btw i have no idea what "protoss range" has anything to do with your topic?? because cannons and goons both have ranged attacks??

I believe cannons were originally explosive as well and to make them stronger vs Zerg(Hydras, mutas and lings would all be SO much better vs cannons if it was explosive) they changed it. Anyone confirm this? Pretty sure it happened in like 1.03 or 1.05

this is true, but I have no idea what patch it was in.

also a sunken cost so much more than a cannon and has a longer build time

also since it was weakened by 100 health and since cannons can hit air i think sunkens are inferior to cannons

1 cannon = 150 minerals short build time
1 sunken = 50 for drone 75 for creep and 50 for sunken build time for all 3 is long

they can but usually one aims to build the cannons outside of the sunkens range where they can still hit the mineral line

cannons 20 damage normal cooldown 22
sunkens 40 damage exposive, cooldown 32
all turrets have range of 7(expect bunker of course)
dragoons 20 damage +2 per upgrade exposive,cool 30 range (4/6)

patch 1.02 - changed damage type of cannons from exposive to normal

so like cannons are mostly better at damage because of small cool and normal damage, but u need to cover them with pylons/gateways/forge high HP building because only 100 Hp and 100 shields, shields take full damage from all damage types so like vultures melt shields on 5 shots,firebats on 6... All buildings are considered large size so take 100% damage from explosive, and only 25% from concussive, vulture kills 100 hp on 20 shots((20-1 armor)/4=cca 5). Sunken has range attack equal to cannons range attack so it can attack up the cliff and also miss units.

i think it was 1.02 they changed photons to normal damage, which was the gayest thing ever. they were trying to give toss a chance against mutas. probably the same reason they turned goons gay, invented sairs.. none of those things really did the job of course and fucked up other matchups and situations even more. go blizzard!

I've noticed over the last few days that STIMEY seems kind of cynical...

My cannons will beat your sunks vs. Mutas
And vs. DT
Unfortunately, Sunks > Cannons vs. Overlords, Shuttles, and Dropships...

Question: You have a creep colony (400 hp) that gets damaged to 50 HP as it is morphin to sunk (300 hp). When it finishes morphing, how much HP will the sunk have? I'm guessing it's something like 50 hp = 1/8 of 400, so final hp is ~76 (not counting regen). Is this right?

1/8 of 300 maybe?
