+1 armor quick helps somewhat against splash damage from tanks as well, not much but i used to hear alot about korean P's getting quick +1 armor instead of +1 attack for this reason. Also obvoiusly the probe taking 3 hits instead of 2 from a vulture as well.

Good job not being specific in what kind of reps and situations he got shields, that's a little important, don't you think? If it's PvZ with Archons then obviously shield has use, if he was rushing to carrier then plasma shields would have more use than armor. Stick to limiting your mind on what's "NOT POSSIBLE HUMANELY!" instead of debating on strategy forum plz.

For the kids talking about going dual forge and armor up, instead use that 150+100/100 on something that's actually productive - another expand? If you're that worried about being harassed by vultures, that 150 + 100 will buy you two more cannons, much more useful than the extra hit that will help you when your upg is complete (fuckload of time later).

It's already been proven that it's weak vs mech anyway becuase of such high base damage by the ran units..

come on attack is better-_- once u reach +2 zealot kills mine instanly and goons kill tanks with one less shot -_-. and if you have noticed it is not the tanks that kill your zealots it is mines that kills your zealots +_+;;; so +1 armor in the beginning not useful unless u are doing something special

You'd better get observer speed to increase your scouting ability.
+1 armor sounds nice vs vutlure raids, but if vultures are able to attack your probes, something went wrong anyway.

Dude you're fucking spamming up the strategy threads with answers like "here's an idea: DON'T LOSE, then you'll win!" (Link) and doing vicious necromancy on old as fuck threads.

Threads die for a reason. If you want to bring them back alive then have a reason.

"vicious necromancy on old as fuck threads."
That is too funny.

For some reason I thought upgrading armour changes something about number of seige tank shots taken to kill a zealot/dragoon.. this right?

stop bumping this thread thats twice its been bumped now.
3/3/3 is nice v. 3/3 terran, it will stop your units melting, although as drone said on the first page, terran benefits so much more from upgrades in this matchup. It's really horrible watching 0/0/0 toss take on 3/3 terran

sorry for "bumping" this thread
Does being 0-1-0 Protoss vs 0-0 terran increase the number of shots it takes a seiged tank to kill a dragoon/zeal ?

Stop reviving this thread...
Armor does not increase the number of direct tank hits to kill a zealot or dragoon, no matter if the toss is 3-3-3 and the terran 0-0, it's the very same amount. Goons - 3 hits, zealots - 4 hits. Armor/shields affect only splash damage/vulture attack enough to make a difference.
