But as a protoss who religiously scouts the Terran front at start for techlab/marauder. As soon as i see marines/lack of decent armour defence, i'll be knocking on the front door with first zelot/ chorono stalkers.. and terran won't have an answer yet. Hellion as an open'er vs P may never be as useful as it is against terran or zerg vs. a decent scout and early aggression. | ||

The idea is that because tanks are weak against zealots the hellions deal with them and then the tanks can deal with everything else and that you also gain the other advantages of having hellions around. The problems are that its always more difficult to win playing with a highly immobile army, its also problematic that you have no air defence and can easily get owned by a few void rays if you don't reallllly stay on top of your scouting. | ||

They do 7 DPS to light and cost 175 resources. For comparison, 2 probes do 6.7 DPS and costs 100 resources. Don't take me wrong--with better health, movement and range, stalkers are better combat units than probes. But when there's any basis for comparison, you know that stalkers really do crap damage to light. | ||

Any positioning of the stalkers in a line would result in even more splash damage. The only thing you could do to prevent splash is splitting the stalker 1 for 1 but then some would be out of range ... Be my guest to confirm or disprove the above results. Also, what kcdc said ... A Stalker almost costs as much as two hellions (if you value gas more call it even) and barely survives an encounter with 2 hellions. And in that scenario, there's zero splash damage involved. | ||
