Did Archons always have splash? I'm almost positive they didnt. Well now they do. Sorry if i'm wrong but someone confirm it. Just used some and they had splash, so nice.

Whoa... I just noticed a HUGE carrier change (might be because I'm attacking my own units though) but when you click the carrier to attack something he can move around freely and the interceptors will still be attacking the target!!

Wow, it looks like LaLush was spot on with some of the changes he recommended. Air units being changed to allow better control and corrupter getting looked at and redone. It makes you wonder how much Blizzard browses these forums.

Neural parasite now works on air units

DPS doesn't matter when thor dropping.

The strength of thor dropping was to drop thor, kill a unit in 1 hit, then quickly pick it up again with the medivac. It made the thor very effective at sniping units. You can't do that now

Phoenix attack an enemy air unit even when you move (that is, when you use the MOVE command and never tell them to attack): they move flawlessly on their trajectory and rotate (sometimes flying sideways or backwards) to fire out shots as they move.

E.g., you can click MOVE past an enemy air unit and they will move as normal, except that they also fire every time they can as they fly by and are in range.


It's putting a pretty literal emphasis on the move in "moving shot."

Colossus attack speed is indeed faster, from 2.2 to 1.65.

They still can't really move and shoot, still just "glide" in the direction they were going. If you issue an attack and tell them to move soon after the attack will never go through.

Well gee, I wonder why it got nerfed.

This was already present in patch 11. You could have the carriers move away from their target while the interceptors attacked their target. The only problem with it was that the range of it was fairly low.

If this is true

decrease from 21x2 to 15x2 attack on colossus will result in a loss of (19.0909 - 18.1818 ) = 0.9091 dps decrease overall.

The Phoenix micro is pretty sick right now. It can shoot flying sideways or even backwards.
