You have exactly the same problem storming mutalisks. Just something you have to get used to now we're in 3d mode.

I guess I'm a little confused. Since when did people not believe that EMP de-cloaks.... It's always been this way as far as I know.


because of sc2s 3d graphics compared to sc1's graphics, the aiming has changed drastically, where u can no longer aim directly on top of the observers to decloak it, this led many (myself at first, few months ago) to think that emp did not reveal cloaked units

Does EMP review burrowed units?

I guess you're one of the smart people, and you're absolutely right! I just happened to know that many people weren't capable of doing this (probably exactly clicking on obs), even claiming it's not even possible. That's why i posted this "how-to".

Most probably an electro-magnetic-pulse doesnt affect biological organisms. Not in the real world, and not in Starcraft II.

I have a question about this, how long does EMP reveal cloacked units? I assume it's not permanent?

About the same duration as the comast, unless its been changed.

I remember the first time I stormed a pack of mutalisks and sent my stalkers over and I was like OH YEAH pwned. Then I realized my storm didnt hit! I have had similair results with emp. Life did get more interesting with a more true 3D enviroment.
slap me I must be dreaming another "imba" arugment! fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

Oh ok. I am a Protoss player so I never have had to aim the EMP's myself. Sorry about that I thought maybe I just missed something...

Zerg players should also take note that the infestor's fungal growth also decloaks units (for 8 seconds).

EDIT: Fungal growth works on burrowed units but EMP does not.

EMP already gives Terran a 50% HP lead on their entire army over the Protoss army if their EMPs are well placed. I really think revealing cloaked units as well is too much (especially since T has plenty of detection), it de-cloaking in BW was fine as it did not do nearly as much shield damage as it does now. Also in BW there was a clearly visible projectile from the Sci-Vessel when it fired the EMP, in SC2 the EMP is instantaneous with no projectile - making it basically impossible to dodge (unless you get lucky).



that is not what this thread is about you jack ass go to a balance thread. this is about using it to detect observers, which with 3d graphics can be tricky


There is no reason whatsoever why balance discussion regarding EMP has to be 'moved to another topic' this thread is specifically about EMPing observers (and moreover cloaked units). My post pertains to exactly that. On topic.
