I just tried it and yeah, they (Stalkers) obviously feel much better to control, but I fear what this would do in the hands of a competent progamer. | ||

Also, we definitely need to see a video doing comparisons. It's one thing to read about the changes, it's another to actually see them | ||

It was even better when I changed it to fire 2 grenades at the same time! You guys should test it out. I think blizzard should adopt this change so stalkers cant kite them. I think you're missing the point of this thread. It's not like the OP added concussive shells to stalkers or anything like that, this is just a discussion on removing the attack delay on them. It's the same as if the attack delay was removed on hellions, they would feel much smoother to control. | ||

I was just pointing out that they lose cost inefficiently even with their mobility. The unit has to attack sometime. And this wont change even after this alteration. Also, I decided to post it on TL because the comments here are highly constructive and its the best community to help produce constructive feedback on such a change. | ||

God help us if Toss had more viable units or could put pressure on in the early game. MIght not be able to 1rax fe and a-move across the map. You would think that the most expensive "basic" unit would have some direct confrontation ability.

Stalkers are horribly weak. They need to be since they have blink. That's why the Immortal is the real spiritual successor to the dragoon. | ||

The only viable opening for terran would be fast conc shell + marauder. Or you could get a bunker...... 1rax FE stops a zealot stalker poke by getting a bunker. This doesn't actually do much to change that. Every time a stalker goes in to shoot at the bunker it will still get shot x4 by marines. What it will allow is for stalkers to very effectively punish gasless zerg and terran builds. I personally don't think that's a bad thing, zergs and terran have been getting a bit complacent about protoss early pressure because quite frankly it isn't scary. | ||
