In fact, Terrans are so weak thanks to this obvious exploit, that Raven's auto-turrets should instead be actual planetary fortresses. Maybe if you can spam them behind a Zerg mineral line, *a few* will deal some damage. Of course, the Zerg will probably have at least a dozen zerglings by then, which automatically trump PFs, so maybe not... | ||

You're rocking the terran and to BM the extremely OP PF that is his last source of money just run a few lings around it to mock him. Other than that, it is useless unless for some reason the only things left on the entire map are a ling and evo chamber vs a singel PF or something like that. | ||

And because you could die in a single shot from the PF, I'd definitely go INSANE trying to beat such a challenge  . | ||

I realize that the idea in the OP of using only a single ling is a joke and isn't viable. However, using kiting to limit damage and win battles that would be otherwise winnable is a pretty common technique in high level play. You don't find it interesting that the PF can be kited? Assaulting a PF, this could easily save half a dozen or more units depending on the force used, and isn't much harder than other forms of kiting. | ||

use 2 lings, one above the pf, one below. right before the pf attacks one of them, burrow. the pf now has to do a 180. right before the second ling gets attacked burrow it, unburrow the first one, rinse repeat. next level would be 4 lings (3, 6, 9, 12 position), etc etc  | ||

The PF still has to do a 180. On September 16 2010 07:42 Ketara wrote: The number of replies this thread is going to get that are totally serious is going to be incredible. 10/10 You called it.

I just tried it and was able to take out a PF with 1 ling and just a few hydras without taking any damage at all, and with the hydra dps it doesn't even take all that long. This is what you do: go in with the ling and kite the PF to make it turn around, then a-move the hydras in. If you don't attack with the ling, eventually the PF will lose interest and turn to the hydras, but if you attack again with the ling before it turns all the way toward the hydras, it will immediately stop and turn back toward the ling. Juggling the PF like this with 10 hydras will take it down in around 30 seconds without taking any damage whatsoever. yea but PFs are usually accompanied with scvs....... this makes repair so dam easy and taking down the PF even that much more of a pain in the ass... and the scvs can atk the ling pretty dam easily | ||
