basically they need to make it an area only near the nexus.

Or they could just make the assimilator an invalid target. 4 SCVs were able to kill an arc shielded pylon without taking any losses when Artosis tried it.

Let me see, writer got the equalivalent of a 6 pool done to him and we scream broken?
Chill out... 1stly this cheese is so easy to break it is deserves no mention.

Others have already said, set drone next to extractor as scouting probe comes in or failing that, arc shield your own Nexus set some drones on it and continue mining...

Come on!!

Same thing popped into my head too lol.

Funny to see all of the silly bugs / abuses surface as blizzard develops this game. I'm hoping that upon release it will be slightly more balanced than WOL was upon release.

ya i cant see this being on the retail game in it current form, shuts down too many options for the other races and opens up too many for toss

Again, just because one person lost to it one time doesn't make it too strong. Cannon rushes are strong, proxy gates are strong, 6-7pools are strong. Can we all stop concluding that you can't do anything against this?

Yeah, it's not like it's the 1/1/1. :p

It's mostly to help hold drops and early aggression, which is a big reason toss loses right now, especially PvT. That's basically it.

Yeah....also the spell is on the building for 15 seconds supposedly and costs 50 mana.


I have the ultimate counter.


Run your scvs away for 15 seconds and you're still way ahead. You're welcome all.

Exactly. I'm quite sure that arc shield will be able to destroy an assimilator with or without drone assistance. If Artosis of all people can deal with it, quite frankly 1 of 2 succesful attempts does not make a good sample size for discussion.

This is really broken. Make the assim and the guy must attack it. Then you just cancel the damn thing. Did blizzard just not test at all?

lol not even close, 15 seconds of halted mining is totally worth 75 mins and 50 energy, running your shit away would put you so far behind

No, its not. They've sent a probe early (lost mining time), planted down a assimilator (delayed tech, lost minerals), used energy (crucially slowed their economy down early game by not chronoboosting nexus). All for denying 5 mineral patches for a few seconds (which will be less than 100 minerals lost). Actually, sounds like you get a bargain if the enemy is dumb enough to attempt it.

Pretty sure you didn't understand my post at all bro. It costs more to attack it than to cancel it.

I can see it being limited to buildings that are supplied with pylon power, or a pylon itself.


Why has no one else quoted this guy in this thread. This is literally the best solution minus the ability being able to be cast on a pylon. Just make the ability cast only on buildings that have pylon power and add the Nexus to the list automatically. Problem solved.

Should require gateway? would still help against early pools and marine cheese if the gateway was up already.

No he means that if you attack the assimilator while its building, the opponent thats offensively assimilatoring (lol) can just cancel and force you waste mining time.

Not to mention he could probably do it twice before it was destroyed.
