EPTHallucinate a few phoenixes, drain that energy, and hopefully your stalkers wont be completely useless.
Has anyone tried this in a real game? How did it go?

If you scout >1 raven it would definitly be worth it to get 3 sentries and hallucinate.Would hallucinating stalkers possible be better? You get 2 of them No Phoenix fire two projectiles, and at a much faster rate, you will waste more PDD shots quickly with Phoenix. Plus they fly so they can get a really good angle on a PDD and maybe draw some marine fire if you're lucky. I've been trying to use hallucination to counter PDD with mixed results since I saw that liquipedia article months ago that mentioned fake units still wasted shots. | ||

Meaning if the hallucinations are exposed as hallucinations does the PDD energy still get used? Or would you need to shoot the raven down first ( damn near impossible in range of the pdd lol ) | ||

The idea is that point defence drone will waste energy blocking hallu shots. Nobody has confirmed that PDDs will waste energy if the ravens detect the hallucenations. | ||

whats the matter with the detector? you only need the hallucinations to shoot the pdds, not to distract the terran. hallucinations dont disappear if they get detected ? it could mean you dont need a stargate and real phoenixes to deal with these pushes anymore, just research hallucination. i just hope its not a bug and blizzard will fix it. | ||

That doesn't mean using hallucinations isn't useful but I mean why not just use the energy for guardian shield and forcefields and focus down the PDD instead. I suppose if the PDD is placed in such a way that you can't focus it down without losing all your sentries then hallucinations is the only way to nullify it. | ||

Highly doubtful since this has been known for...well, I think the first time I read about this here was two months ago To cut the long story short: not worth it - it's not about hallucination, it's about sentries and their energy. You need to first tech hallucination, second build many sentries early enough to build up energy and third use the sentry-energy only for hallucinating stuff and not for forcefields/guardian shield. | ||
