Versus Zerg- Throw a Pheonix in the mix. It'll give you vision to blink and can be useful for taking out overlords to gain map control. Versus Protoss- Observer. It'll give you vision for blink and help you take out their Observers. Versus Terran- Run a single DT in first, attack until he scans, then move the rest in. | ||

hope i never run into it before it has a decent way to counter.. though i dont tend to make that many spines and rather depend on a mobile army, could help abit atleast against the stalkers  though it does take abit of skill and prac to pull of right? so my guess is that i wont face it until i improve to plat and to fx_ great post... are you sure you dont need an power enhancer? to avoid such meaningful posts i mean... | ||

This will now be my build of choice to force me to practice micro. Really noob question (i apologize): whenever you move stalkers around an enemy base or are kiting units, what command/method are you using to quickly made them stop/shoot every few seconds. Move-Hold-Move? | ||

Move-Hold-Move? I think its move, A+click, move. Where to click is situational, but usually it's move away, a click behind the enemies blob, wait for the animation, repeat. | ||

Being able to deal damage with the stalkers seems very dependent on the map. If you can blink directly into or out of their mineral line, it seems a lot stronger (desert oasis, metalopolis.... a bunch of others if the terran has a fast expo). The proper response to this kind of build I think is fast raven - PDD helps with stalkers if you get into a fight, and detection. If you see the tech for raven as you blink around/scout with fake phoenix, then I think the DT is pretty useless. I think the main point of the DT should be to continue keeping T in his base while you expo; raven negates this. So instead of DT, 2 starports with tech probably means banshee so you need obs, 1 starport with tech probably means raven so you need HT (for feedback) or perhaps chargelots, or perhaps obs anyway? have to be vigilant about scouting in any case of cloaked banshees You might also see marauder, so after DT harass (forcing turrets/raven) then probably best to get chargelots-->storm. | ||

Move-Hold-Move? He's hitting Stop. This causes your units to stop moving and they'll automatically start shooting, then click to move them again. | ||

I'm only in bronze league though so at higher levels it might not be as powerful. | ||

Here's what I'd suggest to help though- Versus Zerg- Throw a Pheonix in the mix. It'll give you vision to blink and can be useful for taking out overlords to gain map control. Versus Protoss- Observer. It'll give you vision for blink and help you take out their Observers. Versus Terran- Run a single DT in first, attack until he scans, then move the rest in. Hallucinate! | ||

Great post, downloading all the replays right now to see how your doing it. A lot of the time i was using DT drops (early robo after my templar archives and then drop a DT shrine while i get my warp prism ready). If they werent ready obviously i could take out a whole mineral line with 1-2 DT's. Glad to see other people using strats that incorporate a less used unit and are doing quite well. Not trying to say DT's arent used all the time, but compared to VR's and colossi and such. Good work, thanks for the amazing post. | ||
