I'm just gonna say though, even though PDD might be more useful if you're not massing Ravens, nothing will ever be more satisfying than seeing a couple of HSM decimating a Zerg ball. That pretty flash and the shock wave.....aww yeah. | ||

Well, in one game some1 tried to fungal them, i was pretty sure his fungal hit my Raven, but it didnt effect my raven, so i tested it in unit tester map. And unit tester proved that fungal is not affecting ravens | ||

You have to aim for the the ground the air unit is over, not the model. | ||

Good find! Didn't know about the BL still doing damage but not spawning the broodlings. | ||

In previous patches, if you were using autoturrets, instead of, say, marauders, which is why you didn't observe the effects you hoped for. However, blizzard has since fixed this, and PDDs no longer affect broodlords.[Video of Test] Unless I'm doing something wrong here, it appears that this no longer works. | ||

PDD should block only the dmg of the broodords shot (but let broodlings spawn) or something similar. EDIT: oh...it might have been fixed already then. | ||

Ok... first part you say I tested it wrong and second part you say I'm(well therealdj) still right... In any case sucks that they'd nerf it, never used raven's PDD for blords, but still it allowed for creative usage of ravens which was good. | ||

I said "In previous patches", I never said you did anything wrong. Just noting that the building-unit discrepancy existed once. | ||

No idea why PDD wouldn't work on broodlings, if they can hit a spike from a hydralisk in mid air, why couldn't they hit a broodling? | ||
