EPTThat said WP should be used to pick up wounded colossi too, that would be so cool to see. Imagine having speed upgrade and the warpprism directly behind colossi( so vikings can't snipe it without getting too close to the stalkers) and picking up colossi while vikings focus fire one. That would make them waste shots and you'd delay the death of the colossi ^^

I have no idea why people haven't used this more...a year of SC2 and it has finally been utilized a few times by a pro.

That would make them waste shots and you'd delay the death of the colossi ^^ Even with the speed upgrade, the sight range of a warpprism is 10, while viking range is 9. It's like flying non-magic boxed muta's around thors in terms of risk, because losing a warp prism with even 2 high energy HT's is like losing half a dozen muta's to a thor volley. I'd love to see a change to unarmoured status with 1 base armour. It'd take 8 viking volleys to bring it down then, and wouldn't take additional damage from thor's either. While a warp prism isn't weak if you look at raw stats, it's mainly that if you have just 1 or 2 colossi in your army, terran will already have enough vikings to 2shot the warpprism. | ||

But yes I agree with the change to armor type of the WP, currently it really dies too fast.. | ||

But the main thing you are forgetting is that the warp prism is supposed to be in the back of the army far past the 6 range of ghosts (the reason for thor and viking counter is their high anti air range at 10 and 9 respectively, which will hit where HT need to be as the range for storm is 9) It would be far more risky to the T to need to bring 200 min 100 gas ghosts to the front where they can easily die just to kill a warp prism that. plus the economy of it is actually worse 1 ghost 5 shots 2 ghost 3 shots 3 ghost 2 shots 5 ghost 1 shot you would need to spend an additional 800min and 400 gas (assuming 1 ghost is already on the field) to be able to achieve what 750min and 400 gas of vikings. and if the P has collosi you would have the vikings anyway. of course unarmored would be the best buff, but simply changing to light would in my opinion make warp prisms strong enough | ||
