No, Pff's advice for the most part is correct - vs this build it is best to go 3 rines, fact port, wraith, bay isn't really required vs wraith but today I played a Protoss that went for DT drop instead of Reaver so I think it's still a good strat to get it - also a side note is that you can float the barracks early becuase the walking distance is so far and the scouting is just so good (you have the rines + tank anyway in the case that he tries to goon rush or something)

Thanks for the comments, I think what's also crucial is getting the siege tank protected by turrets and being able to run away the scvs (ideally through maynarding) - a lot of the times I just funnel them back and forth from gas and minerals in the attempt to nullify the scarab (and lose 39 scv instead =])

I advise any terran player not to lift barracks for scouting, unless u have securely mined up or have a lot of marines. This can lead to a disaster. Use e-bay for scouting instead...

nah, if you get a wraith, a dt drop isnt a problem, you should have perfect scouting with the wraith.

lastwish part of the reason why you want to scout is to see how early you have to build your ebay. scouting with ebay is nice but it obviously doesn't help with that.

scouting with rax is often good 6 vs 9 or 9 vs 6.

It's amazing how many talented players i've beat just by simply getting a wraith before add on and killing their drop ship. Never under estimate the mighty wraith!
as long as you scout it and know that it's coming, reaver shouldn't be much of a problem.

I'm sure an scv can serve perfectly for an early scout.

wraith can really mess up their drop. putting up turrets in the right places work nicely. another good strat is dont let him get reavers. while hes teching up. hes obviously low on goons and gateways. do a 2 fac 5 marine 2 scv 1 vult 1 tank push with mines. then keep sending in a few tanks and a lot of vultures. he will be down before his reaver is even out.

also try to put up floating eng bays or barracks in the right spots so you know when its coming.

scout harass macro micro. good key elements of the game in my opinion.
scouting is vital. youd be amazed how hard it is to beat a protoss that uses observers correctly in pvt
