Although that seems easy adjusted, my biggest concern though would be a zealot voidray heavy army, how do you deal with that? Hmm, the thors works as Tanks, while marines are the dps dealers. Also trade oout the Medivacs against Vikings if you notice colossi or mass VR. LaserTurken.523 | ||

I've seen variations of this 2 thor timing attack used by a few good Ts before, such as Baz (currently top 10 NA) and Janook (http://www.sc2builds.com/build/701) | ||

Not a Tactic: Build order for a timing attack Anyway, blindly using this build order seems bad. If the opponent does an early nexus they're going to have enough profit from the expansion by the time that you attack them that you won't kill them. Maybe could work against the safe 3 gate builds where they get a robo before nexus. | ||

On the other hand, I have no problem with all-in-ish mid-game timing attacks, and this definitely looks like a solid one. As usual though, with any mid-game oriented attack, an earlier timing attack like a 4 gate/ 7RR, etc., can inflict serious damage, and hence, can easily counter this. That makes this ok in my book. It's scouteable and defendeable if you catch it early. | ||

I really don't think a raven adds enough though as I'm convinced stalker-based armies have no chance against this build anyway, so do you really need a PDD? I would just push earlier or get strike cannons. I'd have to agree with this statement that PDD seems like overkill. Instead of a Raven, you could invest that gas instead into a banshee or two + cloak. Save a scan for when you push so you can pop the obs with your thors and let your banshees ride unchecked. Or you could instead use the Raven for turrets if you have enough energy to stop the Protoss from retreating back up their ramp by placing 3 turrets there to block off the ramp. I'm sure once they see a force like that, they'll be wanting to pull back. Edit: Raven is validated by nullifying DT threat. I still feel that PDD is overkill but it doesn't detract from the push at all. Feel free to use the energy any way you see fit. | ||

I would just push earlier or get strike cannons. Thor builds pretty much get hard countered by DTs. A raven protects against this major weakness. | ||

I would just push earlier or get strike cannons. DT rushes, so a raven is good. And still PDD is so f**king awesome! | ||
