I don't even play Protoss, but reading this guide has helped make it more clear the mindset of a Protoss so I can better deal with them. I just wish you played Terran so that I could benefit even more from these guides ^^; Keep up the good work. You haven't read my other guides? | ||

I've actually been going through them. I don't play P but all the PvT (EDIT: well the PvX ones anyways) ones help me understand the match-up better. | ||

Also whats your take on Heros robo-less version of this build? He usually takes a third and then goes into double robo. | ||

Also whats your take on Heros robo-less version of this build? He usually takes a third and then goes into double robo. Robo bay timing comes from an average of the first 5 game timings, but as I said, you shouldn't take that timing too seriously. Link me a vod/replay of Hero's build. I don't know the exact build off the top of my head. | ||

He uses pressure instead of an obs to scout his opponent. Game 2 normally would be risky to things like ghost timings or marine tank. The econ advantage from 15 nexus helps against ghost timings, but marine tank pushes would be hard if you do this build blindly. Hero, however, does spot a marurder pretty quickly, but not before somewhat committing to the build. | ||

What everyone seems to forget is that he cuts probes! I know to most higher level players cutting probes when you hit around 50 on 2 bases is common knowledge but people still neglect to say this. Watch the production tab. In at least 2 of the games he cut probes somewhere between 48-52 and then chronoed out probes when on 3 bases. Thank you very much about this. I really needed to ear it from somebody because I wasn't sure about it  | ||

Even then, fast factory into drop play hits much faster than my drops. I delay medivacs for stim/shields and delay getting a second gas until my factory is complete (which is around 27 food). I assume Fast Factory takes much more gas sooner rather than later, thus port-tech is up earlier. | ||

My drops are in-base at 9-minutes, 10 if delayed by not macroing properly. 8 marines, stimmed and shielded will eat your probes or kill some tech. Many times I continually drop afterword if I see low unit counts (mainly vs Z since they want more drones faster). I assume I can trade stim-marines with a medivac well enough vs a small count of stalkers. Even then, fast factory into drop play hits much faster than my drops. I delay medivacs for stim/shields and delay getting a second gas until my factory is complete (which is around 27 food). I assume Fast Factory takes much more gas sooner rather than later, thus port-tech is up earlier. Sure, but if you get drops that fast, you will have to sacrifice a lot in safety. For example, fewer bunkers, bio units, and no eng bay for dts. In addition, your drops have to do a lot of damage to stay even, because if you delay upgrades for too long, you will be horribly behind. One base drop plays are a whole different issue all together and this guide basically has nothing to do with them. | ||

I've been playing like this with storm instead of archons, and never realized how storm isn't taking advantage of my upgrades. just a comment, its still good to have 3-4 templar for storms and the rest for archons, this way you still take advantage of the upgrades and the raw power of storming, also you add targets for emps that arent archons which means the archons themselves will theoretically survive longer as there are less emp's directed at them | ||
