cool find dude, didnt even know this and im like playing top europe lol really going to start using this. The need to not unsiege for like 20-30 ingame secs is huge bc marine/viking/thor dont take that long to kill the broods.

Whoa I didn't notice this.

Also, couldn't HSM be good against BL's? They can't dodge it/spread out that quickly (they usually get pretty clumped)

Woah, this is really useful information for me. I always get to late game with zerg and usually die as soon as I have to unsiege my tanks because of Broodlords and lose half my marines to the banelings that come in shortly after. I can't believe I never thought about this. -.-

You're right. This would allow terran to snipe brood lords with marines only.
But you forget that Brood lord vs marine + Raven will never be the case (or at least pretty rare).
There will always be roaches/lings/blings/mutas or whatever.
The only thing I am worried about is that I need to build mutas/hydras/corrupters(more likely) in my unit composition to snipe the pdd before they nullify the brood lord attacks in battle.
But indeed interesting that pdds block brood lord attacks. Never noticed/seen it..

nice find but times are bit irrelevant because most of time u wont have only broodlords

doesnt stop the initial hit tho, but awesome for terrans with tanks as it stops siege tanks doing splash dmg

You know the person you quote is the topic starter right?

He was just replying to someone who asks if this was related to Patch 1.3, a bug.

In most of the engagements i see the zerg is attacking first only with Broodlords and sends in the rest of his army when the tanks unsiege. Thats why it is relevant.

If you can get 3 base pretty quickyl you should have plenty of gas to do rine/tank/thor/medivac/Raven plus upgrades. Or if your on two base you could go for a single factory, not sure how well that would work tho. Seeker Missle is actully pretty badass vs muta/ling/bling the problem is alot of people do tho is try to use it on the mutas who are way to fast. Seeker missle is a great way to snipe blings.

Zerg normally send in broods first to force unsieging and to bust the front. Man PDD's completely stop that type of play and allow vikings to get shots off while keeping siege tanks sieged.

I would always prefer (now with the additional intel on pdds) pdd > hsm.
When I play as zerg vs terran thors, which are horrible against brood lords can rape them because of the fact that their air attack do splash damage. And if your brood lords are stacked while 3 thors attack them.. well you know what I want to illustrate here.
Normally you would spread them so no splash damage can be dealt. And hsm costs afaik 150 mana so you could not cast an additional pdd without the energy upgrade (hope I am not mistaken that the energy upgrade gives additional +50 energy to the max pool).
But if you see large stacked mutas groups + brood lords + something of 46542 units that pretend to be one, then go for it and enjoy your achievement :D
