Yea stalkers, sentries and templar require no micro right?



they do require micro, but i personaly dont consider stalkers and sentries micro heavy. its not that hard to click on a weaken stalker and press the B Buton to blink it away. especially when u have the HP tabs of units displayed on top of a unit so u can know exactly which unit is weak enough to blink back. FFs are the same. shift+F and click on the ground. the only hard part is knowing how and where to place correct forcefields.

so ya they require micro, but its not a very significant ammount of micro because of how this game is designed and how noob friendly it is.


Lol that's just silly. Get in an equal food blink stalker fight with Huk or MC or any other high level micro heavy Protoss and you will see how noob friendly it is.

someone who says shift+F is the best way to force field obviously doesn't know much about the race or how it works t.t. If you shift forcefield then the first sentry in queue with have to use all his energy first and has to move to do so, as oppose to just f click, which is the closest sentry near the location will place the ff.

Same can be said for pretty much any non AOE unit in the game

In a straight up fight with 10 of any unit vs 10 of the same unit (pro vs masters) ya.. they will be pretty even regardless of which race those 10 units belong to

But when would that ever happen?

they do, but i want a harass micro unit*

Zealots
Stalkers
Sentries
DTs
HTs
Immortals
Colossus
Voids
Phoenix
Carriers

All harass micro units buddy. Are you familiar with BW at all?

This isn't BW buddy and how exactly do you micro melee units? Enlighten me.

Yes buddy, but the principles still apply. Any unit is a harass unit.

For microing melee units:
Positioning them correctly before battle, optimizing which units are assigned to attack what, surrounding, run-bys, blocking opposing units from your ranged, running behind minerals, flanks, concaves, etc.

New theory.

The Protoss unit's preview is slow in arriving.

What Protoss unit is excruciatingly slow?

That's right. THE REAVER.

As a result, I'm pretty sure it's a Reaver or Reaver-variant, or perhaps even a cloaked Reaver assuming that my previous theory is correct.

All I want are viable carriers and a replacement for collis. THATS IT!

That's not a good bet, since Blizzard already said that they're revealing all the HotS units at BlizzCon.

Uh... every unit except the phoenix, speed warp prism, and the stalker is excruciatingly slow compared to bio with stim or anything zerg has excluding the hydra.

so you want marauders?


No i meant our unit would have low life. deal +damage to armoured. it will be light armoured. it will have 7 range.

wasn't asking for a unit that was inexpensive, prevents opponent from microing, has armor, lots of life, deals lots of damage to armored, and scales really well.. that would be unreasonable

now thats actually pretty much bullshit. i want to see sentries harassing as well as mutas, blink stalkers, or hellions. glhf

its true that protoss lacks harass abilities until pretty late in the game, so chances are theyll change that in hots. from a terran perspective however, if they do, id require something that gives T the ability to actually compete with toss lategame as exchange.
