EPTYou say fungal should hit more than 1 templar at a time, but in order to do so, you need to get in range of feedback.
There is a logic gap there...
That's all I was pointing out.

Since this whole topic degenerated into the usual balance flamefest where every topic ends up if unmoderated it's time for it to clean up. Locking this down for a while. Any posts made after my post [page 233] not addressing the changes in this patch directly and containting flames or general balance whine will get banned for at least a week. ~Nyovne There is way too much flaming in this thread right now. Calm down before you post! (Page 271) ~iamke55 | ||

That's all I was pointing out. If you're retard protoss and clump them in a ball, it can hit 3-4 (hts cover the distance of about 1-2 range, and they can be on the outer rim of fungal's range. You will probably hit at least 2 with one fungal, if not, there will be units directly around the hts that you can fungal. Makes it more cost effective. OT: happy about eh neural buff, not targeting massive units made no sense to me. Destiny should switch back to zerg now :D | ||

HTs can counter infestors if you can get in range, but they are slow as dirt. They go the exact same speed as a Thor. Thats right, the Thor, the unit that can't escape anything. It is one of the huge limiting factors of the unit. It is almost impossible to prevent fungals on your army with feedback alone, without exposing them any number of dangers. The range fungal has little to do with why HTs are not the perfect counter to infestors. They help, but you cannot rely on FB to deal with them. And don't even go into offensively blinking. That is the least cost efficient way to deal with infestors. | ||

I don't really see why the templar needs to be so much slower than other casters. | ||

It seems like just making templar move speed the same as ghost and infestor move speed would solve a lot of these caster issues without actually nerfing neural or emp. My though exactly. Buffing HT speed would be much more logical | ||

You should ferry your Hts in a Prism against Terran to protect them against EMP. I, as a Protoss, would be disappointed if they would buff Templar movespeed. There's no need for that imo. It adds a bit of additional difficulty in using a strong caster. That's something that should be promoted, making strong units difficult to use / squishy. For instance Ghosts are nearly unkillable through being psionic, have moderate movespeed, a cloaking ability, and 2 high range high damage abilities and an energy upgrade. That's wrong design / unit balancing. Strong units should have downsides as well. Ghost and Infestors currently lack them. So you shouldn't really kill the deficit of a fine unit to make them easy to use as well. Make the others harder to use. | ||

I'm zerg actually, and think buffing HT speed would be much more beneficial to the game than doing an uncalled nerf to NP7 Infestor are already squishy and shut down by feedback, NP is shut down by proper micro, fungal is nerfed in the next patch Ghost are another story though | ||

Can someone explain to me what "from 30% damage vs armored to 40 vs armored means"? Do armored units now take net damage of 40? Or was it a typo and armored units now take 40% damage? This is no longer in % Fungal deal 30 damage Armored unit take 40 damage | ||

But high templar can be deployed wherever you got a pylon and that in a matter of seconds because you first build a unit and then the wg cooldown kicks in and anyways, dont compare casters directly thats not hte way it works unlesss they all fullfill the same purpose, which they obviously dont  | ||

Yeah, they just happen to completely counter those super power balls of energy. Ghosts are far better than HT, don't kid yourself. Look at how many protoss outright die to early game ghost pushes like MMA v MC even though MC spread every single unit. | ||
