i wouldnt mind the emp projectile being faster. atm a monkey could emp a toss army. projectile like vessel emp would be awesome, although they would have to nerf feedback then but this is offtopic.im gonna try out this fazing some vs some computer units on the editor  | ||

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. Is this it? Isn't it that the void rays are doing their initial damage over and over again for as fast as they change targets? | ||

I also must agree that EMP is currently pretty bland and needs some work. | ||

The key to combatting this is outmicroing your opponent. If the void ray accidentally charges to stage 2 for instance, they can no longer use this technique. Also, keeping your queens far apart makes this much harder to accomplish. | ||

Wouldn't this mean that with every additional unit the enemy has, the potential damage increase of this method increases, too? So if you managed to click 4 Units in those 0.6s, wouldn't all of them take damage, followed by a second portion after the first 0.6s are over and you start a new "round" of clicks? This would obviously only work if it isn't the Attack, that is splitted, but the COOLDOWN of its damage TICK on every unit. what would you say? | ||

edit: also... voidray has no graphical cool down, but it does have a damage cool down, damage is not constant overtime but comes in quick bursts overtime... | ||

All you need to do is keep your units moving. You can either patrol+hold spam to keep them spread while moving around, or have one half standing+shooting and the other moving in alteration. That makes it almost impossible to spam click your units and should not allow all void rays to get into range for trick 2. Problem solved? | ||
