EPTIf you see someone take your gas and doing that, well just move your probes out of the way for 20 seconds on the mineral patches that it can target etc. Seems totally fine to me.

On another note: I wonder when people will stop suggesting balancing things in regard to the distance of a nexus/orbital/hatch. This is not how Starcraft works. | ||

Fully wall off with a forge and another pylon and when the initial gate finishes, you should be good. (Assuming you are building at the top of your ramp against zerg, as you should be.) | ||

I don't really see it as a big problem though, it's probably gonna get nerfed anyway. I would rather see someone experience with the shredder  | ||

how about saving up energy yourself? if you fear that he is going to do that then why not simply use it on your nexus and let it shoot the building before it even finishes? it's not a problem, it's available from the start for both players. it's not like a cannon rush where the person without the forge is screwed if he doesnt scout it in time. and you cant possibly build it out of enemy vision... you cant work your way towards the enemy like you can with cannons. if probes attack the building you have to arc shield it, probes run away, wait 20 secs and then return to kill the building. so it must be near the mineral line from the start, and if people see that a pylon is warped in, they will simply force the cancellation by pulling probes or just arc shielding the nexus or whatever. it's not an issue. | ||

This is not meant to help against cheese because cheese can be defended easily without this mechanism. This is for early game aggression, probably specifically terran since early terran is so strong and can even kill a greedy toss. This could probably help out against drops as well. | ||

Doesn't work. The cannon does bonus damage to light, not structures. If you save your energy to use it defensively on your Nexus, it won't actually kill the assimilator. Quite simply, this is going to have to be changed and is broken atm (which is, after all, the point of having a beta so that Blizzard can find and fix this sort of thing). It is a cannon rush at about the same speed as a worker rush. I doubt they will change this to require cyber though since that defeats the whole point of it to stop early 6 pools/proxies. Should change it to only work in a certain radius from your nexus so it is only defensive. | ||
