This reminds me of the Dragon bosses in Dragon Age: Origins. You can do exactly this, and the dragon can't even attack because it keeps turning if you just run.

I think there is more to this trick than meets the eye. Notice that the "Death Star" was also vulnerable to small fast moving fighters(Lings).

Blizzard may of designed the Planetary Fortress with a true weakness. I will re watch Episode's 4 and 6 and get back to you guys with my findings.

Can anyone make a compilation of all the retarded replies in this thread? Or, even better, someone should make a Wall of Shame thread in which we point and laugh at those who post them.

I want to see someone win a stale-mate scenario (Zergling + Extractor vs Planetary Fortress) with this.

if the 1 ling has PF aggro then you can have a group of other lings on the other side and keep them on the opposite side of the PF and take down the PF maybe 5x faster i.e. in perhaps 2 minutes with constant micro

of course it requires 2x control i.e. 2x gosu.

Yeah. Of course. You're absolutely correct, palanq.

Totally 2x gosu even with sick aggro but still such a money idea.

This reminds me of using ghosts vs Zerg, great in small numbers but when you pile up ghosts and energy to do 50+ snipes, GL using it before you get overrun by whatever units the Zerg has..of course in theory with perfect micro it would work!

I love it... I also think that this thread should be a test to see if you are intelligent enough to contribute to the TL community. If you didn't understand the sarcasm in the OP and left some moronic comment about how this isn't practical; I suggest you go ahead and voluntarily remove yourself from the community...
