-Splash hits friendly units -Able to hit enemy workers -Supply cost ( I've read somewhere they changed it? ) -Speed of missle. Are they like Seeker Missle where you may outrun it or do they kill units immediately? | ||

The Mine change seems like a unit replacement instead. (more like it Mobile Missile Turret) I am fine with that, but yes, will need more rebalancing for sure. so it basically only auto-acquire cloaked / hallunicated units? wouldn't that just make the DT useless against Terrans instead? So far, I think it is a poor choice. But I think the community will find that out soon as well. dont see this unit last more than 2 weeks | ||

I think the initial damage is way too much is should live of it's splash. Terran doesn't need anything with high damage . | ||

I think Siphon might be a useful ability if it was tuned differently. It fits with the Oracle's design (economic harassment unit that doesn't belong in deathballs) much better than Phase Shield, which encouraged oracles to join the deathball. Siphon needs to actually steal minerals, not just generate minerals out of nowhere. If it remains a slow-acting ability then it shouldn't cost energy, it could even be the Oracle's a-move. If it remains an energy-dependent spell then it needs to act very rapidly, forcing opponents to get enough antiair to rapidly kill the Oracle instead of just guarding a CC with one marine. (1 stimmarine will kill an Oracle in 15 seconds, far less than its break-even time) In which case, congrats you've spent 150/150 plus whatever's guarding it to "mine" at the rate of less than 2 workers. Last time I checked, a probe on a close mineral patch harvests 45 minerals/minute which is 0.75 m/s. So at 3 m/s the Oracle "harvests" at the same rate as 4 probes, slightly better than 1 MULE. 4 probes cost 200/0/4 and can keep mining all day, so long as you have bases with minerals in them. 1 Oracle costs 150/150/3, is almost as fragile as 4 probes but has to harvest from ENEMY bases. Oh yeah, and it has to spend 50 energy every time it Siphons. Not a very useful ability right now, but it's a matter of tuning and not design. | ||

My English is not so good obviously,and I really try to make it possible to understand.I was trying to say that even if Terran got more Splash Options,it does not mean they all are viable or good to use in the game. My name is "Duriel" but written as in old Rome where the "U" was same as "V",ok? Duriel is a Demon from Diablo II... | ||

Also seemed really weird being on the Oracle when the Oracle is a fast moving 'harass' unit, not really sitting in your army. So I'd rather phase shield have been on the sentry and given the Oracle hallucination or some form of halluction (like clone itself or something). Void siphon.. doesn't fit much either as you have to sit there to do anything and the Oracle is meant to dart around not sit there being immobile. | ||

In a way it get's to be a moveable turret with extrem high damage, that's got it's cost amortised once one (!!) shot has been fired... | ||

I would call it "Ant lion" because it plays along the theme of Spiders and only attacks when burrowed. | ||

But after considering that zergs usually have a mineral bank and queens, its probably not a huge deal at all. And i love the mine It may be a bit strong but it seems like a unit that can really hold space well, which is what the intent was in the first place. | ||

I want to confirm that Void Siphon does not remove minerals from an opponent's bank; it harvests minerals from an enemy structure while damaging it. We've updated the text to make this clear. http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/110ixw/beta_patch_notes_5/c6ia9ft | ||
