EPTOn scrap station, I've won a couple of times going for 2-3 immos with a 3 gate army and just plowing through the rocks in the middle in time for me to hit him right as his first collosus is coming out. Other than that, it seems like you would need some insanely good positioning or drop micro with warp prisms to beat them.

Carriers or HT are both reasonable, but Colossus are best. Colossus are pretty much required in PvP and PvT. PvP because you want to win the Zealot vs Zealot battle. Yeah, your immortals will own the Stalkers but zealots rule. I happily sacrifice 3-4 Colossi if it means I have 20 zealots wailing away. If he is not going mass zealot then you don't need to build Colossi but you will win anyway. You can't psi storm zealots fighting your own zealots, and carriers.. well.... not enough DPS. PvT because (1) Marines, you need to be able to kill masses of them from a decent range, You absolutely DO NOT want to fight through a wall of marauder/whatever to get to the Marines. and (2) because it is the only unit that prevents a bioball from kiting your units to death. PvZ, collosus are not super important because you will need to spend your gas on either phoenix or HT, the Zealots with +1 attack can deal with lings better than colossus, you are going to want immortals to deal with roaches because roaches beat collosus/stalker, and there is no way to deal with corruptors now that they don't have energy. Only time you want Colossus is if he goes straight for mass hydra, you will notice however as there aren't a million zerglings everywhere. | ||
