Also once charged there is a delay when changing targets so it no longer works. I say leave it its cool. I dunno if anyone noticed this... but i tested it and its not as strong as everyone is making it out to be. | ||

You can easily write a macro that can click between two units as many times as the game physically allows in a second, insta-killing them. I haven't tried it, but if it truly scales with click speed, this would be a serious problem. read the comments in this thread | ||

What's actually happening is that the attack is being 'split' into two, targetting the two hydras. The problem is, when it's 'split' the damage itself isn't being split so it deals full damage to the two hydras. But it only attacks them both once per 0.6 seconds (the cooldown). So while it still does twice the amount of damage it should be doing, it most certainly does not scale with click speed. That's why all three hydras die at the same time in the video. | ||

I read the comments, the OP said it scales, I haven't seen proof either way yet. Edit: above post was more helpful than this one, thanks. | ||

This is basically the identical situation that happened with reavers in SC1 where they were missing the cooldown when they unloaded from shuttle. Sure it sounds fun, but when every game involving P starts becoming Void Ray gayness it won't be fun anymore. Plus, this is like many times more Imba than the reaver bug was, coz you can do it by simply spamming right click. Reaver+Shuttle at least demanded some more mechanical skills and didn't have as much potential if you wanted to mass them. I want this out of the game the first chance possible. EDIT: assuming this scales as APM goes up, like OP said. | ||

If the unit is shown to be much more powerful than expected; either it needs to be less powerful or more expensive. This should be obvious. | ||

There is nothing to suggest that this is imbalanced in any way. Leave it until there is any evidence of it being so...... Edit: Also there is people that have been aware of this for quite sometime while beta was still up. | ||

I was thinking about the same thing. But the critical mass is quite high: Against Probes and Drones, you need: - 8 VRs with +0 air weapons - 7 VRs with +1 air weapons - 6 VRs with +2 air weapons Against SCVs, you need: - 9 VRs with +0 air weapons - 8 VRs with +1 air weapons - 7 VRs with +2 air weapons Seems interesting, but we need to wait and see until the Beta is up again if it's truely OP or just a nice trick for good players. | ||

I may regret it one day, playing Zerg but everything that involves extraclicks for an edge is a good thing imo. I would say that demolish an entire army without him being able to do the slightest thing about is a bit more than an "edge", it's quite obvious a design flaw. | ||

Here's what happens. A unit can dodge projectiles if it is picked up by a Warp Prism/Medivac/Overlord, you should know that. Now I do this with a Zealot and some Stalkers. As expected, the Zealot takes no damage. Then I put a second Zealot next to the first Zealot. When I repeat the experiment, the second Zealot takes all the damage. Now I take away the Zealot and bring in a Sentry so that there's a Sentry and a Zealot next to each other. I repeat the experiment and what do you know? None of them take damage. How odd. I take away the remaining Zealot and bring in a second Sentry. Repeat the experiment, the second Sentry takes the damage. I then bring in a group of Zealots and try the experiment. It seems as if the closest (don't quote me on this) Zealot next to the one that was targeted/picked up takes the damage. Conclusion: For some reason, only when two or more of the same units are next to each other, the damage that was dodged by the targeted unit is taken by the like unit next to it. If someone could further test this out and explain the mechanics behind it, I'd be thankful. It's just something I found while doing some bored testing because of the down beta  | ||

Some people will call it skills, most people will see it as an exploit because it gives a unit a damage potential that is waay beyond the specs that is set. | ||
