Shields aren't that much better than armor though. Keep in mind that it's only when the stalkers have taken enough damage that at least would've damaged the health without the +shields, regen and then taken damage like that again that shields are more effective than armor. Which isn't very often. If you're adding zealots in the composition, armor gets a lot better already. | ||

But would be nice to see a protoss composition that aren't as reliant on the mass aoe. Feel it all comes down to forcefields being in the game so basic gateway units can't fight straight up vs basic terran units. | ||

Which isn't very often. If you're adding zealots in the composition, armor gets a lot better already. It's not that simple. Stalkers have 80 hitpoints + 80 shields. Ignoring the fact that they already have +1 armor , which makes armor upgrades slightly better,statistically speaking (assuming units deal with a single hit a low amount of damage compared to the total amount of shields, and the type of damage dealt to shields is the same dealt to hitpoints) the damage reduction is proportional to the damage taken. Stalkers have the same amount of hitpoints as shields, which means you'll never take more damage on armor (which is permanent) than on shield (can be regenerated), in particular well microed blink stalkers can absorbe much more damage on shields than on armor. That being said this works only for stalkers, most protoss units have more hitpoints than shields, and there's always the fact that they have +1 base armor, which means that adding a further +1 will make more difference. EDIT: and obviously EMP. | ||
