could someone tell me exactly how to micro stimmed marauders? I've seen alot of really pretty step, shoot, step, shoot dancing to absolutely slaughter an equal number of roaches. Presumably you give a move to just outside of roach range, but then do you A move anywhere? hit stop? details? | ||

Repeat this process after every attack (judge the time between attacks - it's a pretty quick alternation of right click and H in general) until every unit is in place and firing (note: this micro style may lower your dps at the beginning of the fight in order to boost it massively by the time every unit is in position - this happens because it's possible that the units in the back will not be in position to fire at the beginning of your micro). Enemy buildings are great for practice (computer buildings yar). Try to wrap your units around the building as you move into position. This works especially well for melee units like zerglings. Right click past the building so that you get a good wrap around, and then right click on the building so all of your zerglings attack with a perfect or near perfect surround. | ||

It is possible to dodge the following projectiles with Blink: (Tested multiple times) - Stalker - Marauder - Banshee - Hydralisk - Roach - Mutalisk - Broodlord: If you dodge the projectile then only the Broodlings will not hit you. They still spawn at the last position and walk up to your stalker. The Broodlord projectile still hits you if you dodge it (at least everytime I tested it). - Siegetank (sieged): If you walk up right to the edge of his range then you can close the gap between the max range and the min range with a blink. it is very hard to do but its doable. In my testing I allways walked up to the tank a few pixels after the blink. | ||

You do not need pylon power to FINISH warping in a building, only to start it. I use this sometimes if I'm hiding a Dark Shrine. Warp prism with probe -> pylon mode -> Throw down Shrine -> Fly away. The Shrine will finish building but be unpowered. On a related note, the dark shrine does not need to be powered in order for you to build DTs. | ||

Yeah. I personally find that doing this for all 6 probes is a bit too slow tho. To me selecting 3 and right-clicking 1 patch, then f1 clicking the remaining 3 seems to be a bit more efficient. (Might just be because of my lowish apm tho). | ||
