Fazing - I loved this trick so much, I just edited the Void Ray article on Liquipedia II. The edit is awaiting an authorized review for permanent addition.

To all screaming imba/'ba' - Blizz'll have game stats to see where this falls, and will do what's appropriate. Next time, do something productive, and make an unbiased Liquipedia edit.

This most certainly works. I won a few practice games against my friend melting his early marines this way.

I said confirm me. I saw the 2 posts before, which is why I tried it in the first place. I was asking for insights into fazing with charge and it never hurts to have more than 3 people to look into a new concept and discuss about it. But thanks for the useful post.

Confirm me? What does that even mean? If English isn't your first language, then I guess I can understand, but just so you know, I'm fairly certain that that combination of words has no actual meaning.

you are right. Confirm me is wrong grammatically. It should be confirm my statement.

How can someone seriously think this is good/balanced?

Voids' damage should be turned into a damage over time only. It's bad enough that the thing counters it's intended counters soft or otherwise. People seem to forget this is not Brood War and while micro tricks are nice, ridiculously imbalanced things only one race can do are not.

I noticed in the shift-queueing vs A attack video, you started queueing from the BACK of the probes, which would make them die much faster as there's no movement time while in the A-attack video the void rays obviously start from the front. What if instead of A-attacking, you simply attacked a probe at the back then let them A attack? How many seconds would that take?

See its things like this that slowy make sc2 a unique game. I hope they don't remove this. Knowing how to phase and when to use it takes skill! we like skill!

idk, honestly i thought i was gonna lose the game anyways, but it was still somewhat close imo. Our armies clashed and my stalkers literally disappeared instantly. I'm a huge fan of tricks and stuff, anything thats cool to look at and involves micro is awesome, but this one might go a little too far...
BUT i gotta play way more games before i determine that

They fixed the 1.04 BW reaver/shuttle no cooldown because it turned every game into invincible reaver drops, and they'll fix this too if it turns out that toss automatically kills everything once they get about 8 voidrays.

The reason I started from the front side is so that the probes wouldn't run away. But they still tried, so the VR's moved up with them. This means that when they killed 1 target, they were already in position for the next one. The strength of the targeting isn't the movement, it's the fact that the VR's auto faze. There isn't really any time between 1 target and the next, and that's what makes it so powerful

what do you guys think Blizzard should do, if they do, to balance this but still keep it in the game? Make the attack delay even lower like .5 real seconds to require you click even faster to get the benefit? (With adjusted damage per .5 seconds ofcourse).

How on earth do you get that zealot to board the warp prism so fast ??

hotkey stalkers as 1

hit 1 - a, then click on the stalker and really fast hit 2 - right click. should be pretty easy for anyone to pull off in that kinda setting.

Anyway, to people complaining that its a ridiculous 'exploit'... i suppose you hated muta stacking in broodwar as well huh =\. This community as a whole is kinda funny, people complain about how the game doesnt have enough depth compared to bw and how theres no fun 'micro' aspects, then when we start discovering the things that will give the game depth, half of you scream exploit and demand it be removed... We have no idea how much this actually breaks the balance of pvt/pvz/pvp, and we wont know until a good player starts utilizing it in his play.

I thought this same thing, but intuitively this seems like it will be too strong. However, it should be given some time before it's removed to see if it really does affect the game negatively.

How would they patch it without destroying the void ray as a unit? The whole point is that it can switch targets and stay charged (worker harass and so on) so making a cooldown would totally negate the need for a charge up.

Xahhk has a great idea! Perhaps Blizz already tested this extensively, and fell upon this cooldown time... but I'm thinking not.

How fast should we make progamers click?
Should the attack just be a fixed damage over time, regardless of clicks?

I love this trick, I think it should stay. It's a cool SC2 technique, reminiscent of some of Brood War's. But it should be adjusted to be balanced. If this is, in fact, imba, then just just apply Xahhk's solution; make it more difficult to use, narrow its use.
