How is that epic? The video only shows the WEAKNESS of auto-move. It makes you THINK you have invincible Phoenixes, but look at how low those Phoenixes became. If you want to actually efficiently micro, you have to...well, micro. Also, people should test Corruption in-game. For Example: Does the damage calculation come before or after the Hardened Shields? | ||

There's pretty much no difference between what the guy in the video does, and what would happen if you just attack-moved...except you can't focus fire at all, so it's actually worse. The proper way to Phoenix micro is to run the Phoenix around just out of range of the Mutas, so that the Phoenix can attack them without being attacked themselves. THIS way, the Phoenix are quite deadly. Really, the fact that Phoenix can now destroy Mutas is really not a problem in my book, since it's specifically designed to counter them. Now, if we hear that the Phoenix is way too powerful against Corruptors, then I'll be worried... | ||

But an ultralisk attacking a corrupted unit does 5 extra damage per hit. It depends on the damage of the attacking units, not on the health of the corrupted unit. what both of u are saying is the same thing. doing 40hp to a 200hp unit all at once, or doing the 40 in extra damage via ur attacking units - is 40 damage either way. | ||

This moving thing wont work against anything else..and phoenix itself isnt good against non light air | ||

This is the case with a lot of things in this game. | ||

It's effectively like a secondary attack where the corruptor can do 50 damage or so every minute. Completely bleh. Together with the reduced damage to massive units, the corruptor now kills corrupted Colossi around 5% faster than before. It's not worth the effort. The only thing it is good for is getting rid of that energy to prevent HTs from feedbacking you for 200 damage. | ||

No, 40 damage instantly happens instantly. 40 damage via attacking units...doesn't. time is a factor here obviously. A different example: 25 hydras attack a thor once. They do 300 damage. 25 hydras attack a corrupted thor once. They do 360 damage. That's 60 additional damage. 60 > 40, do you see the difference? | ||

This moving thing wont work against anything else..and phoenix itself isnt good against non light air corsair doesnt exactly rape infinite mutas at all if were talking about muta scourge here. mass corsair vs mass muta scourge, zerg can win if he microes it well. (look at some of the games on outsider for example) | ||

The only things I disagreed with were HOW they made ultras stronger and brood lords weaker, but everything else was very good. Reducing sentry dmg is the smartest choice to nerfing force field effectiveness. Archons could probably be buffed a touch more.. | ||

It'd be fun to see Zergs actually use the ability on their own units just to get rid of energy. That should be a hint to Blizz that nobody wants this shitty ability. | ||

I don't see why corruptors really need an ability when they already have one: morph to brood lord. Brood lords are good enough against any enemy. | ||

They are already extremely tough so I think the damage increase will be enough. How are they more viable when their biggest issue was that they simply didn't get to attack at all because they couldn't catch up with the enemy? | ||
