EPTI mean shields rebuild pretty fast once combat is taken away.
The assim has the same hp/shield as it had in BW yet the refinery and extractor both lost 250 hp.
[d] Overlooked issue ?

 Blizzard probably did it to allow for a somewhat better gas steal to compensate for the fact that there is 2 gas now and gas steal is not as good anyways as it was in broodwar | ||

They can be given transfusion and being repaired like you said. Maybe this is why as compensation although quite a big compensation in my opinion :p Don't mind seeiing it get a nerf as a Protoss player myself  | ||

But if it were a game of gas stealing and gas sniping, protoss would win for sure. I would say dropping it down to 300/300 would be adequate. | ||

To clarify: I think Refinery / Extractor had more HP but it got reduced when the aforementioned problem arose. I wouldn't mind making the assimilator's hp a little less, just don't bump up the HP of the Extractor / Refinery to make it "balanced" P.s.: In SC1 the assimilator had more HP thant he refinery / extractor too, go and see it for yourselves I can't believe I replied to a topic by CM with a serious answer, I need to get myself checked out. | ||

Well aren't you special re: ps duh, I'm not saying it shouldn't. Also the assimilator has the same hp as it had in bw as it does now while the refinery and extractor were lowered as I stated in the op. | ||

Protoss really rely on 2 gas for almost all of their viable builds. Terran and Zerg getting gas stolen isn't really a huge problem for most builds as the gas heavy units don't really arrive until tier 2. Protoss have sentries almost immediately which are 100 gas. | ||

The races are meant to have diversity. I can point out tons of things that the other races have advantages against protoss and we can pretend they are imbalanced too just because they aren't the same. | ||

Metabolic boost, lair, glial reconstruction, overlord speed, overseer etc. Factory, tech lab upgrades, etc. | ||
