Oracle basically can probe-attack buildings for spare change (33 seconds for enough minerals for a zealot)..? I really was hoping for Oracle to gain some army-combat useful spell  Mothership core change was expected and fair. It looks more like a tactical spellcaster than an early anti-ground assault blimp. | ||

I see Hallucination becoming a popular spell in the near future, on the other hand. Hallucinated Probes to scout for Widow Mines! :D I'm not sure about Void Siphon. On one hand, it steals your opponents Minerals, which is very valuable against Terran. On another hand, it takes a very long time to get a lot of Minerals, and any amount of air will shut this down, especially if said air is faster than the Oracle. Edit: I do think that it needs a change to be more like Entomb in terms of time and strength. | ||

I hope they add some sort of requirement for it, or zergs will be forced to rush to lair each game... You don't need lair, just a spore at the front of your base or some lings to kill them before they burrow. | ||

The Oracle changes keep making me rofl, I really think Blizzard has no clue what to do with the unit at all, every patch it's "Welp, that idea sucked.... lets throw a dart at the board again and try out whatever it lands on." | ||

I think they were more focused on the Widow mine and the MsC. Hopefully, they buckle down and give it a useful skill next patch. | ||

But it would force defensive structures or units to be in position to defend it. I wonder what happens in PvP when you cast it on a proxy pylon. The other player can't do a whole lot to stop it. May be the point is to reduce the number of proxy buildings. | ||
