EPTlike the radius as big as a natural or main. enough to protect anything within your base but not way across the map.

HOTS isn't something we should be worrying about right now. We should just be playing WoL and enjoying what we've got. If it's still able to 2 shot probes at 5 of the 8 mineral patches when hots is finally released, then yes, we can have some problems. But there's absolutely no need to be concerned atm. | ||

Like getting pylon blocked as Z. Not game ending by a far stretch for either side, unless the cheesee became totally unconscious while Arc shield was on the assimilator. | ||

And it seems like it already requires a gateway, so the offensive arc sheild rush shouldnt be that much of a problem then? | ||

i hate the fact that the game isnt even already in beta, and people are complaining about how good/bad units and how certain builds are already op they should have EG announce when the beta is coming out. The SC2 community would explode | ||

The shield can only attack units, not buildings, so you cannot use your own arc shield to kill it. This leaves you with two options. Either take BOTH of your gasses before your opponent can or use your own arc shield to rush him. Both of these make for games that aren't very fun. It's broken because the only ways to stop it are so bad. Even if you do stop it by taking both of your gasses, they can just build a pylon instead and use that. | ||
