EPTFrankly corrupters have a great spell early game because with just a few you can stop their production it's great if you're pushing.
infestors god dam useless building that i need to get to hive tech.

It takes about 10-11 NP to get the CC finished. I am not sure what happens if you don't NP them again, but my guess is that either the SCV will stop building it automatically or the player who owns the SCV will be able to stop building if they spot it. I think cost and ownership of the CC is determined at the time the building starts. Nexus on the other hard are easy to ninja, since they are self built. | ||

Zerg are reall starting to feel like the overrunning with lots of little units race. Regardless, this Infestor is a much needed improvement. It can also parasite all units now. Not just biological... I agree, and I jsut tested with a friend, parasiting any unit means YES YOU CAN CONTROL THE MOTHERSHIP. This means all your units cloak while all theirs un cloak SUPER USEFUL! I love it. | ||

It makes them relatively useless in the fact that u have to wait so long to do anything. With consume, and a tweak on these useless and corny infested terran, the infestor can be a viable unit... | ||

Idealy I'd like to see the infested terran go and a dark swarm-esq ability replace it. The only issue is that the sentry seems to have taken that role. | ||

I wonder if their attack scales up with zerg melee upgrade. If so, as is (50 hp / 5 attack), it's a slightly crappier marine which isn't too bad. If nothing else it can be used as a meat shield for battles. | ||

A. Infestors die in 3 seconds or less to a couple of marines. B. In the "Faster" setting all ladder games are played in, the MC time is quite short. C. It's energy you could otherwise use spamming fungal growth, or if you're inclined: Infested Terrans. | ||

That.Was.RIDICULOUS. I was like uber-wtf the whole time infested marines were popping out.AND IT DIDN'T STOP! Scary shit.. Idea is cool I guess, it requires positioning, can be used like zealot bombs against tanks or used to harass mineral line. But it just...Doesn't fit in..And looks weird. Like someone here mentioned (I'm lazy to search for the original post), it seems like they really want some sort of infested terran back in the game for some unknown reason. They didn't struggle to remove lurker, but they try so hard to fit this rather random unit in.. Neural parasite looks hella' cool though, sort of like that bug from Starship Troopers lol. Can't find many situations where it would be useful though, unless it has like 8 range. | ||
