you can just set an scv trapping another scv behind your min line and use that. Its the easiest way i would think. plus when your using wraiths like that you are probably defending your base so you have some extra units there to use as your wraith-anchor

For the record, yes, you can stack wraiths like mutas, and the principle is the same.

If you're going to do that, I recommend you not waste an SCV by trapping it; rather, save yourself 50 minerals and just select an SCV that's building something along with your wraiths. That way, the SCV will continue building, your wraiths are stacked, and you don't lose 50 minerals. (Mind you, it does take some reasonable micro- if you don't check on your base every sixty seconds or so, you could be in trouble.)

The marine surrounded my other marines sounds like the best idea that early. Otherwise, sieged tank is the win, ofc.

For those of you asking / don't know. Thanks to Idra a few days ago in a random thread~
To micro wraith vs scourge, you patrol ontop of your wraiths. Say you're flying away, P, click your wraith group, then move away again quickly. Your wraiths will spin around, fire, and keep moving. Its fairly easy and rapes scourge O_O.

Maybe you're getting BW mixed up with SC II!? Although I don't know if MBS allows the selection of buildings and units at the same time...

I don't know about buildings, but mineral patches certainly work for stacking. Also, because wraiths unstack much less easily than mutas there's usually no need to find a trapped unit.

Boxer did this in one of the pimpest plays (2002 I believe) and it could be useful, but building up 8-11 wraiths is not as easy as building up mutalisks, which is why it isn't used as often. I guess the main reason is because it is slower and a lot more expensive. For Z, the mutalisks come 9 at a time (3 larvae, 3 hatches). Assuming you have 1-2 starports, then it would take a lot more time as well.

manner depot a scv somewhere, in the back of a mineral line or in some corner and then just group the scv with ur wraiths and they act like muta. Hotkey # 1 should be the wraith / scv and Hotkey #2 should be the wraiths only, so u can control them with hotkey #1 and then immediately use heykey 2 to cloak them in an instant and then go back to hotkey 1 for more micoing.

what G5 said + obviously on maps like colleseum where you have a block just hotkey any unit within ur base, and you're good to go.

Also, once you have siege mode, which you'll usually have around the time you've accumulated around 4-6 wraiths, simply use a sieged tank in your wraith control group. But if you can trap an SCV in your build early on, that is ideal.

Duh, obviously, you just select one of HIS overlords or larvae. Problem solved.

Heh. You need Super Shuttle for that. In fact, just skip building wraiths altogether -- build your Super Shuttle straight away, wait for his mutas to pop out, pick THEM UP and use them for micro. GG.

uhm o_O

ok, as i last check, floating building moves faster than overlord, so it's not viable i think
