1. the thor has incredible range, so trying to avoid it is nothing more than a guessing game for zerg 2. the thor deals massive damage, so one shot and it is over compared to the warhound, which are many small units and deal less damage, the zerg will always have a warning when the first missile of the hound at the very front hits his mutas. | ||

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). Thank god, someone remembers some details xD Otherwise though, really how can NO ONE know or have shared the details of the new units other than what blizzcon told us? (cost, etc.) ?!?! Also, is there a range upgrade on the Goliath? I would think 7 range is a bit hard to deal vs mutas you would need to spread the Warhounds out. Marines with 5 range do fine because they're so small so that so many of them can shoot at us, plus they move fast and stim does a lot of damage if the zerg messes up. But I guess they want you to split your units up more. | ||

Numbers can be easily changed an this the last thing what blizzard is doing. you dont start developing a game around numbers -.- and even if they try they would never never get it right. BETA | ||

All these questions that certainly do have factual answers at this point in time, but all that gets posted here is "I heard", "looks like", "I assume", and "I think". No one cares about conjecture or "deduction" in a thread that is just asking for what the current factual reality of the beta is. | ||

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. Even though it's multiple shots, the low damage stats means that Enemy Armour has a huge effect on their DPS. It is also means that its role as dedicated AA has to be supplemented by other units due to very low Armour Damage vs Armoured Air. Meaning pure Mech play is not viable for Terrans in most match ups. Against Toss, well pure Mech always had problems anyways and is only being somewhat "discovered" right now. Voidrays pose a potential threat. Against Zerg, Marine-Ghosts would be needed when the Broods come. | ||

Everything from looks, animations and stats just seemed really unfinished. All we can assume is that its a smaller, lighter version of the thor, and probably equally effective cost for cost. | ||

Thor deals full damage in 0.5 radius Archon Full damage: 0.1 radius (basically single target) Half damage: 0.4 radius (less than thor) Quarter damage: 0.8 However the numbers here don't mean much. Think of damage radii as being circles, and of units as also being circles. A unit is "hit" if the circles overlap, even a tiny bit. Mutalisks have a radius of 0.5, which means that a Thor's AA will hit any mutalisk that is less than 1 from the impact site. This gives the Thor splash around the same size as a supply depot. | ||

Which means that any (and many) of these attacks, skills, and abilities are highly likely to change a great deal, and be completely different by the time the actual beta is released. | ||

Their splash radius is about the same as the thors, so they'll hit clumped mutas hard, but magic box isn't as effective due to just plain having a lot more attacks. | ||

Holy #@!&. Thats a ton of damage. 32 per volley plus a bigger splash radius and faster and massable? Sounds good. Does anyone know if it requires an armory? Or just factory and tech lab? | ||
