It would be like stasis from BW but the entombed player could attack them to free the unit, it could still be used for mineral harass by targeting workers and it would give the Oracle a more offensive ability to use as well. Just an idea I had while reading the patch notes. | ||

I'm not sure if like the new purify changes, it created some very interested PvZ early containment scenarios. Recall changes are good, much more balanced now. *What is the range on the MS-core now? Does anyone know? | ||

Does anyone know? Range on the Mothership Core is 5 using normal attack (Repulsor Cannon). Its Purify ability allows it to attack with a range of 10, but it must be attached to a Nexus. | ||

Who else is looking forward to the Mothership Core harass? A Queen would solo a Mothership Core, 8 damage a shot vs 350 hp, that's about 35 hits to kill 1 Queen. | ||

I feel like would have worked far better then, and its abilities could be far more powerful and interested when it wasn't some weird unit/staticd hybrid. | ||

I agree with a previous poster, the mothership core's functioning may seem a bit complex for the casual player. It feels a bit out of place considering the fact that most of sc2's design is usually clear and concise. | ||

The new mothership core kills off a queen with 55 health left. That means it would only be able to kill off one queen, before it takes enough hull damage and unable to kill another. Keep in mind that the MS-core deals 8 dmg per shot with a weapon speed of 0.85, while a queen deals 4 damage a shot at a weapon speed of 1. Also, the mothership core is perfect for denying overlords now and keeping zergs in the dark. Interesting thing to note: the mothership core can also solo a single stalker. edit: Sorry for the misinfo. Mothership core can only attack ground. | ||

Mothership Core is the speed of an Observer Um no, mothership core is 1.875 speed. Obs is 1.8x as fast with speed, and 1.2x as fast without. You have to remember though that zealots, colossi, immortals, sentries, archons, basically most of protoss's shit moves at the same speed as the obs, which is 20% faster than the core - and has speed upgrade, if you dont have the upgrade, you hang back a little bit sometimes, not a big deal, but core is a great deal slower. | ||

Swarm host change is clearly in the right direction. To be worth anything at all the locusts have to reliably get in for damage, but the damage they deal once they get there is an easy knob to adjust. | ||

-oracle is too slow -locusts have too much range -mother ship core is too expensive for the somewhat useless abilities it does. Its damage is too low now. Edit. When I said mothership core damage, I meant purify damage | ||
