In Options -> Gameplay, turn 'Show Flyer Helper' to "Always". Then you get this under all flying units: ![[image loading]](http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/4307/flyerhelper.jpg) Aim for the spots on the ground and you are fine | ||

Colossi have the same range as neural parasite, they get owned by blink stalkers, and they are easily stormed/fedback by HTs. Unless the toss is an idiot and makes nothing but zealots, you should be fine. I just started to use FG recently, and today I tried it against a pretty threatening protoss ground army. FG is pretty useless against the entire protoss ground army I've found; it really only diminishes their shields and at a much slower rate than any combat unit. zealots get stuck yes, but they can still attack, so its only viable with a hydra/roach army. They will still have full HP after the FG is finished. Its useless against stalkers, archons, sentries because they are ranged and will keep on attacking anyways. And since it doesn't stack, you'll have to wait to recast, but then the battle will long over by then. And in this case, the game. So infestor 12s NP and useless FG and infest marine ... what use is this unit in ZvP really? | ||

Also if they engage, see too many spine crawlers and start to retreat, fungal is great to tag on a group of fleeing units to pick them off. Also colossi in large battles will always want to walk backwards and get better positioning - take away this option with fungal. | ||

They can unburrow while FG'd. The rest is fine, but this point is off. | ||

Sometimes I have missed fungal on a terran incoming doom drop over a crevice that would mean insta win for me and actually lost cause of this. | ||

FG will do alot of damage to probes but it wont kill them? you'll still need to fly in mutas or whatever to finish them, and even then, mutalisks kill them fast enough already? | ||

the range on ultralisks is longer than the range on zealots, so if you go ling/infestor into ultras and you run into a big zealot force that shreds your lings you get alot of free kills. | ||

Storm = 20dps Fungal Growth = 4.5 dps Here's a video that's an example of that usage. Letting Fungal Growth Set in It's like a new look force field at times too. =) | ||
