If you take AA-from widow mines you need to massivly buff the new Thor anti-air.

Dunno how I like these. Seems like protoss oracle got the short end of the stick. 25 energy to start is quite a lot if you are rushing out oracles.

Goliaths aren't all that great vs Mutas since they only do 1/2 their damage vs mutalisks.

If they want mutas to be used in zvt they need to make it so widows can't hit air or it can't hit mutas at least -_-.

Kinda surprised at the sudden terran weapon attack nerf that seems fair though.

Not sure if they gave the oracle pulsar beam a buff or a nerf? How much energy did it cost to activate before if any?

Tempests doesn't matter I don't go broods and dark shrine increase saw that coming xD.


None. It was a free toggle. So this is a nerf in a way.


It's an interesting change. It makes it a buff against one base, so they run in and kill everything there since the beam will last much longer. Now it's just a question of how much energy is wasted going between bases, since you choose between keeping it activated or reactivating it again for another 25 energy. If you wait for 100 energy then you have 32 seconds of pulsar beam.. which seems like plenty to kill 2 bases worth of drones.

Most likely because you would have 3/3 vikings vs 1/1 broodlord/corruptor which felt a bit too strong. The only problem is now vikings are back to being terrible on the ground @_@

Well if for whatever reason they take anti-air from the widow mine they should re-introduce the warhound as a highly mobile anti-air with limited ground attack.

Yep, more mobile, massable and attack faster without being capable of ridiculous all ins with repair.

The issue of Terran mech/air upgrades is that both upgrades and armory are too expensive.
Why all terran upgrades costs 100/175/250 while zergs and protoss 100/150/200? -.-

They should've shifted out the Thor for the Warhound like they originally planned. I mean the Thor was never really liked anyway..

zerg costs about the same 100/100 for melee/range 150/150 for carapace, then 150/150 for +2 for air/melee, 225/225 carapace, then +3 is 200/200 ranged/melee and 300/300 for carapace.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I think the muta buff is okay but the problem is Zerg can tech switch much more easier than T or P.
