Tanks destroy both units quickly, and effciently. | ||

PDD shoots broodlings fired at units but not broodlings fired at buildings. | ||

That said, I can't imagine it being intentional. Stopping the broodling but not the direct damage portion of a blords attack just seems like broodlings are unintentionally being classified as an "enemy missile." We'll see if Bliz is happy with the mechanics next patch I guess, way to spoil it  | ||

Vs Mutas, I think unless you have a ton of energy stored up and a few ravens, I think seeker missle is the best use of energy vs those buggers, it forces them to keep moving, as good as pdd is, it will almost be used up instantly, even if it did just block 90 damage, it's also stationary, if a zerg player decides to disengage, you are kind of out of luck. Vs Corrupters, not really sure why zerg would have them unless you flashed a fusion core or a battlecruiser, they kind of fire too slow and have kind of poor range if they're going to be going to take out medivacs, I thnk zerg's best bet is to save them to be morphed to BLs. vs Brood Lords, similar to mutas, seeker missle still does pretty good, If you have enough ravens to drop a PDD I think by all means you should, but if it's a choice between a PDD and a seeker missile I might opt for the missile. Really good find though. | ||

Especially since Broodlords are always accompanied by Infestor/Corruptor to defend them against Vikings, both of which are easily able to Snipe Ravens and eat up PDD charges as well. Nice find, but imho really not the way to go when you can just use Ghosts and be much better of | ||

- auto-turret to kill workers - detection for burrow & creep tumour - PDD to stop queen, hydra, corrupter, broodlord and muta seeker missile is a bit crap alone, but if you have a good number of raven's for multiple volleys it can be devastating. | ||

They are not only extremly good vs Broodlords because Snipe, but at the same time able to handle Muta-switches, Ultra-switches and Infestor-play a lot better then Ravens.

Nice find, but imho really not the way to go when you can just use Ghosts and be much better of i think both have their merits. ravens seem much better for holding map control, like just sitting at a pivotal area and hunkering down with PDDs and possibly flying around harassing with turrets. ghosts are better at head on attacks and emping infestors. the thing about ghosts is that they also take barracks time so if you want a decent number of them quickly you have to sacrifice marine production, whereas with ravens you sacrifice medivac production and most armies dont benefit from being medivac heavy anyway. | ||
