So I think their idea is that we have to activate detection to see if there's a widow mine, and if not we can retreat, but if we do that we might not harass with the oracle anyway since it spawns with 50 energy takes about 30s to get to the enemy base so you have 80 energy -50 for envision. if there's no widow mine you can activate pulsar beam for -25 energy and then you have enough energy to kill 2 scv's and scare one a little and then you're out of energy. I don't think 1rax expand is a very good build anymore. CC first is still really good, and you have a ton of things you can do with gas openings. Just because a particular WOL build doesn't work anymore doesn't mean that the game should be fixed to work exactly like WOL. | ||

- Still no nerf to protoss air, they are too much reward for little risk. So they respond by buffing the Oracle's Envision spell. I guess it's nice against DT rushes in PvP but it does nothing for TvP. Oracles still feel kinda overpowered there. I still want to see some MSC nerf. I don't care what they do to it, make it take longer to build, make it higher in the tech tree, I don't care. It is too good of a unit for how early you get it. It makes TvP stale as fuck. - Widow Mine buff is nice but it was already pretty good before. Still doesn't make pure mech viable because the tank still blows. I don't feel like a buff was really needed. | ||

Now that I think about it though, if you gave the maurader aoe, better dps and 10 more hp (at the cost of lower range), and pair that up with an extremely fast medivac you basically have the old marauder drops on crack lol. Marauder drops are nothing like hellbat drops. Hellbats can destroy an entire mineral line in seconds, and they do enough damage against everything else that they can put up a decent fight against the defending army. Hellbats are cheap enough that the drop basically always pays for itself. | ||

It seems a little too conservative in one sense (making mild damage buffs vs. specific targets rather than reworking the units as a whole), but also a bit too complicated in another sense. I'd really hate to see us 5 patches down the line with every unit having a bunch of extremely specific +damage modifiers. They've been doing that with SC2 from the very beginning.  | ||

It is too good of a unit for how early you get it. It makes TvP stale as fuck. I might be biased because I'm toss, but I think it's good that there's something that forces terrans to play less greedy. You can easily deal with a msc/stalker rush if you don't cut marines while 1rax expanding, or if you open widow mine, or if you go cc first / 3rax So basically you'll always be fine unless you rush reaper while 1rax expanding... which is somethin you just can't do simply because of the threat of msc and oracle. Alternatively if you scout a single or no gas opening you can just go ahead and cut corners because there's any threat of a msc at your front any time soon. | ||

Have you seen any Progamer use them past 10 mins??? xD If they want to improve TvP,why no apply this "+Xshield damage" to the tank? Still impossible for Zerg to beat Skytoss.... One month Dayvie and the BETA is in ALPHA State and you believe its almost done...Soooo sad :-( | ||

I have only been watching a bit of code S (which doesnt have many protoss in it) so this is an honest question. Also, do you think it is a good decision to have things do a complete 180 so that the other side dominates for an extended period of time? Or should they actually strive for balance? | ||

Are they trying to make SC2 simpler? I'm not opposed to that because it opens it up to more gamers, but that's a pretty big dang change. | ||

Protoss is supposed to have the strongest late game army. It's Terran and Zerg's job to utilize their mobility advantage to shut down Protoss expansions and engage this army on favorable terms, then quickly remax with an economic advantage to finish it off. Protoss can't rebuild the army if they have no economy. Suiciding armies into a Protoss player's Skyball who has a strong economy is just asking to lose. | ||

Because if it does it's payload and then does 35 shield damage ontop of it the only thing that effects are shots to Carriers and Colossus :/ As a Terran player I was really hoping for some kind of Hellbat nerf. I simply cannot find the will to log into the beta knowing I may roll a TvT which quickly became the stupidest matchup (worse than Reaper wars, imo) since the Hellbat drop build. What I'm really curious about is, what if you have a protoss whose shields have been knocked down below 35 but aren't at 0? Will you get the full +35, or will the bonus damage stop once the shields are gone? | ||

It basically works like EMP. | ||
