The Thor Strike Cannons have become an upgrade to try to help out the Ultralisk, who is countered so hard by this attack that we see very few Ultralisks in Terran vs. Zerg. This is (of course) not enough to really change that relationship, but we have some more plans for the Ultralisk in the next patch. sweet ultra ling could be back and i could build late game shit that isn't broodlord hydralisk mass hatch and overlords. | ||

A damage buff for ultras is just the strangest idea ever to me. The problem isn't that they don't hit hard enough, it's that they die way too quickly against any of the pile of +armor damage units. | ||

zergs main stream unit is roaches terrans mainstream units are marauders protoss mainstream units are stalkers So no, because they designed almost all of their units to be used with the "mainstream" units, marauders will never never ever be replaced. ever. EVER. | ||

So between patches with nerfed NP and crawlers, zerg early game suffers. And now that Broodlords get nerfed, zerg late games isn't as good. I really seems as if they're setting up zerg to fail and calling it an ultra buff. If they want to make Ultras viable, they need to cut the cost and/or buildtime, get rid of those silly upgrades for speed and armor, tone down the +armor bonuses vs them, or let them attack air. | ||

Dustin isn't seeing enough MARAUDERS guys, we need to get some of those MARAUDERS. Does Browder even play this game? Seriously. amen.. im so sick of marauders.. and seriously, whats with terrans complaing about broolords? broolord is only way zerg even have chance at beat terran ground army.. how is broodlord different from carrier.. oh ye hes much weaker.. maybe bit cheaper.. i saw carriers only once, in my 60+ games, but i lost that game so badly.. 2 cariers + ground army.. ran me over so easy, i couldnt believe.. carriers had 15 and 16 kills.. i barely had 30 units at that point.. as i was loosing.. but that battle was such massacre that i couldnt believe.. only reason protos doesnt build them.. well why would they.. every ground unit protos have, is hard counter to zerg unit.. pretty much same to terran.. why we see broodlords.. um, cuz zerg got weakest army.. and just 9 combat units.. vs 12 and 13 for terran and protos.. oh and it takes just 5 marauders, to stop all in lings + roaches rush.. while teching to banshees.. oh and i thought early rush/ timing attack is supposed to counter a god damn teching.. oh look wallup.. with couple of marauders infront.. so i wont get in without banelings.. and even then, marauders can just stand on gap.. and wtf pwn you , makes me sick why doesnt hydras got + armored attack.. they spit a cid.. which should melt armor.. and burn shit inside.. but no.. a rocket.. which blast should be absorbed by armor.. supposedly deals more dmg.. than if rocke hits you naked.. and blows you to peaces, awesomesauce logic.. | ||

Poll: Do You Like The New Patch Yes (101) No (46) 147 total votes Your vote: Do You Like The New Patch adding a poll to see what people think of the new patch. wow...Thors just got weakened hard! So sad. Overall, i think this is a good patch...BroodLords often killed me, so its good to see that they have gotten weaker. I don't think that the use of sentries will be lessened. There still a good unit, and many people just use them for the force fields. I hope that ultralisks are used more often, they were so helpful in Brood War. | ||

Um, can anyone explain to me how moving and firing at the same time is accomplished? Do you use patrol towards enemies and then move away after the shot? | ||

This made me rofl quite thoroughly. ...But I think its important to note that because of how banelings/colossi/ exist in SC2, marauders are the only "medium" armored tier one unit Terran can viably build. Really the only time you see a Terran get marines vs Zerg is if he gets mutalisks out. | ||

I was just starting to get used to used sentries to defend against mutas, and now stalkers+sentries will have a harder time holding off mutas, and I'm not likely to begin making mass archons just yet..... Um, can anyone explain to me how moving and firing at the same time is accomplished? Do you use patrol towards enemies and then move away after the shot? It's completely automatic. If a unit is in range, the Phoenix will fire at it, even if given a move command. | ||

So I can just move-click and my phoenixes will fire automatically, even while moving? If I move-click rapidly, will the shots get interrupted? I might actually contemplate using phoenixes now  especially after that SENTRY NERF (%^$#%!).EDIT: And can we just move-click, or must we attack-move? | ||
