Fazing doesn't increase the damage done to a single target, it just does equal damage to additional targets. Think of it as making your VRs AOE to as many units as you can click in 1 tick.

Dustin Browder called it fazing. Mission accomplished.

Went against a toss that used mass charged void rays with fazing in a team game. It's horribly broken and overpowered.

Hm? I thought it didn't even work when they were charged.

It didn't when this was first discovered. However when the beta came back up for phase 2, for what ever reason, it does work with charged rays.

You can tell right away that SC2 isn't going to be successful. Its going to be about as good as WC3, especially with blizzard micromanaging every aspect of the game that they don't like.

haha apparently the fazing name stuck

Joke post? Fazing is ridiculously broken and needed to be fixed.
|
Has anyone discovered if this trick also works with sentries? They have a similar attack animation, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that it would. I can't test it out now because I'm at work though.

I thought it was proven by several people earlier in the thread that fazing won't work with charging.

That's what I thought too, until a handful of void rays insta gibbed my viking fleet. Normally that would require about 25 void rays, but he was able to do it with about 10.

Sad this might go Be nice to have tricks like this in the Protoss arsenal.

That was pre-patch. For some reason, it works now.
Also, it does not work with Sentries.

If it works with charging now, couldn't we go back to the old mechanic where it only worked uncharged. I could see charged fazing (grats on the name btw) being horribly broken, but uncharged fazing just makes Void Rays a viable early option.
|
Is fazing a "new" thing? The reason I ask is because I used to keep my void rays charged when moving short distances by attacking one of my own units and stopping quickly. Now whenever I try that I either take a large amount of damage or lose one instantly.
|
Damage on Void rays is now front loaded on the charge, specifically to prevent charge from building up like that.
Edit: And therefore fazing works when charged now.
