EDIT: Not a terran player, but isn't the cannon also good against buildings? Like with a thorship you could drop and annihilate a building then pickup and leave quickly? | ||

Cannon is used to take out core structure/key tech buildings quickly and to get rid of enemy thors/colossi etc. Regarding cannoning colo, the cannon of thor is out range, so unless you can catch the toss off-guard, it is unlikely to hit colo. but once you hit it, it is a sure kill since colossi have low HP while the barrage dealt 500 damage over 6 seconds. but you got disabling colossi as well. | ||

I wonder if it bypasses immortals shields though. its a spell so it does, and I have tested it in beta. No reason it would be dif now. Thors are good for lots of things. Using 250MM cannon is an easy way to snipe tech or even nexus/hatch. If you drop some thors you can destroy buildings with cannons. The stun means you stop dps. I wonder if it stops PF from firing... | ||

it does seem as if they only have it so they can be feed backed. there is no real point to EVER upgrade it. | ||

It's not like it takes something out of the game and some of the more casual players can use it for the cool effect. | ||

Literally never research them vs Zerg, since Ultras don't get stunned. I guess....maybe you could use them to take out Immortals and poorly positioned Colossi, but it doesn't seem like a good enough response to merit making Thors and researching an upgrade when you could just get Marines and a few Vikings like you were going to anyways. | ||

What he says, the only use thor has was versus ultra now its not even useful versus uktra since if you kill uktra while the cannon duration is on you are losing dps so blahhh. And also if you research it and get NP you are screwed. Versus toss when are you every going to use it? if toss has mass immortal ghost emp would be much better. So yeh i think the only reason terran has that ability is for thor to have energy so they can be FBed. | ||
