How does the Anti-Air AOE work for the warhound? I don't want to make assumptions around it, but I would hope its a little more forgiving than the thor's splash. I know they reduced the range compared to a thor (as well as the damage. i believe its only 8 dmg (4, +4 to light) but im curious how many attacks, the attack rate, and how the splash is done. Thanks in advance for your time! | ||

I guess this means you wont be able to hold off a tonne of mutas with just a warhound and turrets, but en masse magic box will become much less effective, factoring in pdd, allowing more tanks, making mech super epic :D | ||

I don't know if it's going to stay this way but I heard in one of those blizzcon videos that david kim said the warhound does extra damage vs mech... and he said that every unit besides the zealot was mech in the protoss army.... im not sure if flying units are counted in that or not but kind of exciting that they want to see more mech in tvp in hots. | ||

Nope, the two attacks are separate; the ground attack does 10 +10 to mech, rather than being a passive ability that increases damage to mech. | ||

If it's really bigger then it's stupid. Splash should be smaller, just like archon's. | ||

It was costed about what I expected it to be for that purpose. It moved a lot faster than I was initially expecting. I didn't get a chance to play it against any fast or standard muta openings but by costing and stats alone (health, damage) it filled the role pretty well. Random queueing for sc-mp at blizzcon is a mixed bag. Most of everyone is there for WoW so the quality of players you run into (not that I'm even in Masters or anything) is usually fairly poor so realistic scenarios are not expected. | ||

I really wish whatever genius wrote down the stats had thought to include that. I can't count the number of people who've looked at that one number and assumed that's the total damage it deals per shot. | ||

So if it was just like archon's it would be bigger than the thor's :D P.S.: The warhound has 4 attacks with it's anti-air cannon, each doing 4+4 damage, so a maximum of 32 damage per volley (a thor has 48).

Like archon splash radius for the warhound would be good, I think. | ||

Like archon splash radius for the warhound would be good, I think. If you want to give it archon splash radius, then give it archon range too (3). Archons are "supposed" to be a good counter to mutalisks right now, but "how much damage you deal" against mutalisks is completely irrelevant when most units can't catch them (except blink stalkers and stimmed marines, or a lucky storm.) | ||
