The only useable are listed on the first page... feedback: you would feedback on 0 energy... WHy would you want to feedback several times?? Second: Try this first. It is not as easy to move your mouse in the speed that you scroll your wheel - there will be many overkill-feedbacks. makes Overlord drops super effective XD | ||

If this hits popularity there goes zerg's entire T3 endgame. getting like 8-9 ghosts would already wreck any ultra composition and would trade extremely efficiently with broods. I can't wait to see this break a gsl game. snipe vs ultras requires a LOT of ghosts, with a LOT of energy. Something that is neglected in the video with the ultra vs ghost is that all the ghosts had 200 energy, 11 ghosts to 4 ultras, 2200 minerals, 1100 gas to 1200 minerals, 800 gas. At the end of the video almost all the ghosts had little to no energy, making it easy pickings for 4 more ultras. Yes, this will help immensely in ghost vs ultra/broodlord unit comps, but I doubt it will "break" a gsl game, because while no longer as limited in snipe time, you are still limited by the fact you need a high ghost count and high energy on those ghosts to make it work. | ||

How many times do you see a Terran fail to beat a Zerg army of Broods and/or Ultras because they couldn't snipe everything fast enough?? No matter how fast you can dish out the Snipes, you still need to spend time doing other important tasks such as splitting Marines, EMP'ing Infestors, avoiding Fungals & focus firing with Vikings/Siege Tanks, blah, blah, blah. If you have enough Ghosts to legitimately roll over an entire Zerg T3 army without needing to focus on other elements of the battle, chances are you had the battle won before it even begun. | ||

I can't wait to see this break a gsl game. Doubt it will break a GSL game as: 1. I think the top pros already know of this. 2. They are fast enough without this and this trick if not known will give them maybe slight edge in multitasking, but not much else. | ||

edit: nvm, I don't use this anymore. The repitition of my r key when holding it down is not quick enough to keep up with my scroll speed. It keeps deselecting my ghosts, this is too fast. | ||

So I got one for gaming and the other one for other stuff. edit: nvm, I don't use this anymore. The repitition of my r key when holding it down is not quick enough to keep up with my scroll speed. It keeps deselecting my ghosts, this is too fast. just press settings and set the layout hotkey?? mine is numpad 8 and 9 for the normal one. btw the programm is making sc2 lag. on your edit: use shift? its all explained.. Update: I tried Warp in in Ladder games. Works, BUT sc2 slows down at the moment when using a high scroll speed... it's not the grafics: I still got 60 fps. Perfectly fine in custom games though... Im wondering what the reason is... Pc beeps in every case with high scroll speeds. Side note: I can't find the video on youtube with search words: starcraft 2 snipe scroll wheel even though that's almost the name... Has this to do wiht SOPA? making me not find videos certain countries??? | ||

The Starcraft 2 End User License Agreement does not allow the use of unauthorized third-party software. Also, if you look in your Starcraft 2 Hotkey list, it does not allow you to rebind any mouse buttons (at least, not on my mouse), therefore, necessitates the use of a third-party program in order to bind the click command to the mouse wheel. Again, unauthorized third-party software is against the SC2 End User License Agreement. I imagine that major LAN tournaments would not allow you to install a third-party program onto their computer in order to gain an edge. The program linked in the OP allows it for non-gaming mice, I assume. Pretty sure that most, if not all, gaming mice already have the capabilty to carry customized settings inside them. Steelseries allows for multiple different customized profiles in one mouse. So there's no need for a third-party program. | ||

If you actually did the math, you would know that it takes 12 snipes (300 ghost energy) to kill one ultralisk. 11 snipes leave ultralisk with 5hp, and 5hp ultralisk dies to one shot of reqular ghost attack. Full energy ghost are cost efficient vs ultralisk that way. | ||

The difference is that with this, you're just about fast enough to use up snipe before you have to worry about anything else since all you need is to get in range, hold down a button, roll mousewheel to oneshot a majority of the T3 army before it does any damage at all. | ||

edit: more recently it was used to duck jump very fast and move as fast as running without any noise (been banned too to bind crouch to the mouse wheel) so in both case tournaments did update their rules, lets see what happen in sc2 | ||

No, I'm almost positive the snipe bug only happens when you hold down shift. Otherwise I would be pretty sad I`ve been doing it wrong all this time  . | ||

The ghost just have to reduce the units below critical mass. Having 15 broodlords is awesome, if ghosts immediately kill half of those, you're screwed. | ||

edit: duck jumping was a bug in the engine, and didn't really require the mouse wheel to do. Trick jumping was never banned. | ||
