Forcefield is what, 2? EMP is 1.5, I'm sure about that.


Storm is about 1,5. That radius is huge, it can slow down an entire deathball. (which is good)

Yeah, I was actually worried they'd make it uselessly small. I'm excited to see how this plays out.

Yeah, slightly bigger than Stalker range.

With the new Oracle, MSC soft detection and the Tempest buff, Stargate gains a lot of viability.

Even if in a bizarre way.

Blizzard finally did it! I've wanted a detection option off cyber core tech for 1.5 years now. This + oracle changes...holy stargate play, batman!

Forcefield radius is 1.7. Guardian Shield is 4. EMP and Psi Storm are both 1.5. UI changes are not coming today.

I'm a little bit worried than Time Warp + any kind of aoe damage will make it impossible to play Boi against protoss. :/

How do you dodge storm if your whole deathball is slowed from 9 range away ?
Vikings can't even prevent that :O

MSC detection is fantastic. Good balance between soft detection but not completely inhibiting cloaked harassment. Really excited to have stargate as a solid option for opening in all match ups.

I can't help, but have the impression that they have no idea what the hell they're doing over there.

Nice cast range, effect radius and energy cost on time warp. Also a damage buff for pulsar beam from the number we heard mid-week. They're finally getting serious about making the oracle worth building.

Keep in mind that if they are investing gas into a stargate and Oracles any AOE is going to come out much slower

I still feel pulsar beam is not as cool as it could have been. It'd be great if it could target and drain energy for harassing macro structures and queens.

Oracle/Phoenix openings are going to be brutal. First thing I'm trying when the patch hits. 2-3 Oracles doing damage to a hatchery with 2-3 phoenixes lifting/killing queens, possibly with MS core for support. That's some brutal harassment potential.

That's my main worry too. I feel like it empowers the protoss deathball too much. We'll see i guess, all in all it's still a great patch, which changes a lot of things in the right direction imho.

Vikings have 9 range, I believe and a small number of them will be able to insta murder any oracle that comes into that range. As long as you don’t keep them clumped, in a ball over your army, I think they can zone out the oracle.

Anyways, I would rather have the ability be to powerful in beta, than weak and useless.

Finally going in the right directions. These non-unit killing spells are what really makes RTS interesting.

Well, it makes things more about positioning. I like it in theory. Not sure how it'll actually pan out though. I guess we'll have to see.
