I hope Blizzard will take their time to make a more or less fair balance instead of rushing for the release during summer just to get this piece in store... They took so much time for development, keep a clear mind and finish it properly, otherwise it might be a mess! | ||

It doesn't significantly impact my economy, so I can keep making SCV+marines, and eventually even get tech units. Its nice to have extra mineral coming in so you can create bunkers all through the Protoss base. I did it a lot in SC1 too when ladder speed was fast(more micro oriented), and River Styx was in the ladder pool. River Styx was an awesome map. Dual bridges and backdoor expansions. Truly ahead of its time. Yay nostalgia! PS. Are you Crazy~Jim~Lizard? That's old school if you are. | ||

Block ramp and pump zealots like your life its on it XD, also ppl say the second one its almost done so you can block again and get more defense before he can come in, then hes not getting any stronger and you are ^^ | ||

Even if u block it 2nd time, what u gonna do with 2 sentry and 1 zealot, apart from writing 'gg'? | ||

1. I think the second rax can be proxied. For example in blistering sands you could put it in the gold or in the 6 or 12 pos (whichever is the one next to the enemy backdoor). If you do this I think you can come in with 7 rines instead of 6. 2. Building an OC slows you down. If you screwed it up a little and you have 22 scvs before the 6 rines come out then you can get OC, but doing it beforehand slows down scv production too much 3. leave 4-6 scvs at base to keep mining and use the rest to defend the rines, never attack with them unless you can surround all enemy units (if his probes are in play, don't even try; if his probes don't come out then it really doesn't matter because you won) 4. On blistering sands at least, you can be attacking his backdoor while building up the rush. This way if he does happen to have 2 sentries you can just turn around and go finish the backdoor and come in with 8-10 rines instead of the 6-7 at the front. | ||

OC ensures that even if your rush fails to kill toss for some reason, your mule will ensure that you remain ahead or on par. 3. you have to attack with them - thats how defending your units work =| 4. making 2 sentries means he wont be able to bring his high tech up because of lack of gas ^^ so either way, it's gg. | ||

2. An OC at 22 is fine, just before that an OC takes just about the same time as 2 scvs. 2 less scvs means a smaller scv force (esp if you keep back with 4 of them). Could you use mules as extra meat? 3. I mean don't focus fire with them. They should never surround 1-2 zeals and leave the other 4 to walk around. They need to always be between the marines and the zealots. | ||

Nerfing the marines and barracks timing would change other MUs too drastically. Also buffing the zealot would throw off ZvP (but maybe making Stalkers specialize vs light would work),but bringing SCV hp to 50 seems to be a much better option. Seriously though SCVs don't need an extra 20hp just because they cannot regenerate life, and killing them while they build structures is not reliable unless the SCV exposes himself. However I still feel the marine SCV attack would still be strong even with the SCV HP reduction. If attacking building SCVs becomes too powerful from a HP reduction they could give the SCV some kind of a +1 armor buff while building. 'Scaffolding Security; armor increased by 1 while constructing a building' lol. | ||
