Although this is still good for Marine/Tank because once you lay down a PDD by broodlords you can stim up and pick them off while tanks fire at any ground army coming toward your marines. | ||

Although this is still good for Marine/Tank because once you lay down a PDD by broodlords you can stim up and pick them off while tanks fire at any ground army coming toward your marines. And if a pack of infestors are waiting for the marines just outside Siege range, the Marines are fucked. Fungal Growth Range is 9 with a radius of 2, Brood Lord range is 9.5. Siege Tank Range is 13. Marine Range is 5. In order for marines to get within range of the Brood Lords, they have to go out a distance of 4.5 in front of the Siege Tanks to be able to hit the Brood Lords, meaning the Siege Tanks will hit at furthest targets within 8.5 range of the marines. An Infestor can sit at this range quite comfortably, so while popping PDD and running in with Marines is a viable option if you are caught off guard, it carries significant risk over preparing vikings. Brood Lord/Infestor compositions will be largely unaffected. | ||

Seems very inefficient to me. I'd rather not spend 100 minerals, 200 gas, and 60 seconds of build time on a unit that can only deny broodlings for 20 seconds. That's a pretty long time even by Blizzard Time (TM). | ||

SO a viable way to look at this is- make 2-4 ravens mid-game just standard and SAVE THEM, and by the time zerg inevitably gets broodlords you will be able to use your PDD to great effect. At least till your army can move up and kill them, or vikings are made. 20 seconds of immunity to broodlings is HUGE for a mech army. Props, this is a great pointer. | ||

I took a few months break from starcraft II right after patch 1.1 or something like that. Anyway, before I left I made a little joke post on the general forum about point defense drone not working on broodlings. I had actually tested this with the map editor. This change that allows PDD to shoot down broodlings was a stealth buff that occurred some time between 1.1 and now. You can see the thread I made here: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/628077469#1 please note that the thread is not actually serious. I'm only referencing it because I made it based on the fact that PDD did not fire at broodlings at that time. | ||

Now thors and tanks can rip broodlords infestors easily without the fear of getting sniped or mind controled without a tank able to snipe the infestors hehe. aha! I knew i wasn't just imagining things. Like you guys said, this must have been some ninja change, because I clearly remember PDD never shot down broodlings b4. Great change imo  maybe more people will consider ravens for PDD now. In general though...ravens are very expensive for what they do, and are best in TvT. | ||
