EPTFinally Archons are usable in PvT.
Patch 1.3.3 PTR - Page 8

Massive units are not affected by concussive shells. If you think they are, you are wrong. It's SPORE crawlers that are being changed, not SPINE. Please read carefully. | ||

 It seems zerg still has a hard time against protoss. How come sentry is not nerfed. | ||

Not to mention Archons do 35 damage to zealots and stalkers only do 10. Oh hell yeah, I'd love to see that tactic. Archon rush sounds epic. | ||

guess we'll see how the metagame adjusts to the Protoss changes. would have preferred higher salvage time than a reduction in salvage return so that it is a much better punishment against a Terran that over commits with their bunker pressure. I think the ghost min/gas change is great. it makes Terran's counter to HTs and infestors more accessible and should result in more entertaining play. would have also loved for spine crawlers to also get a 6 second root time. oh well | ||

Don't agree with the ghost change, emp is already strong, fast to tech to, and cheap on gas compared to psi storm. All they need is a ghost academy and all that requires is a barracks. Emp doesn't even require research, it shuts down casting, does 100 dmg (shield) and is can't be dodged once cast. O yea and it's a form of detection. Storm requires 150/100 twilight, 150/200 templar archive, 200/200 to research, it does 80 damage much of which can be dodged. So it's 650 gas to get 1 HT out with storm, but only 150 gas to get out 1 ghost with emp....? Also, Terrans get so many extra minerals from mules, and their core units (MM) are very cheap on gas. 3rax emp all ins could be devastating to protoss. Emp is so good vs sentries, stalkers, zealots, and immortals and that is the only composition your likely to have that early. Maybe voids but emp still is okay vs them too. O and your warp gates are going to be delayed some too? I'm thinking this change is to help terran vs infestor and broodlords where ghosts excel, but I see it having a huge impact on TvP. Archons being massive is cool  Wonder if you can only put 1 in a prism now? (not that it matters too much) | ||

Pretty much every terran is floating a ton of gas mid game, since their core units are very gas light, and mineral heavy. Mule doesn't give them spare minerals, it lets them keep up in production with races that use mins/gas in a more balanced manner I don't think any good terran is floating gas... | ||

But why are they making ghosts less expensive? I mean seriously? EMP and now 200/100? 50 Gas > 50 Minerals... | ||

They're so good in TvP Like 100/200 gas may be | ||

I guess the archon, bunker, and spore crawler changes are fine though, otherwise it just sucks for me that Protoss is getting nerfed. | ||
