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. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||
