Ghost don't need to have snipe against caster, they have fucking EMP already. | ||

I don't understand why Blizzard sees it in TvZ and doesn't see it in PvT where protosses attack only at 200/200 4000-3000 resources? | ||

I hope the phoenix buff works out the way they want it. If it does, that may give the carrier another chance on HoTS, and id love that  | ||

Especially CPM ( how did that take this long? ) thank you for this one blizzard. Terrans I know you might be mad but you have to admit Ghost v Z were pretty good. Does any one wonder why they made it a range upgrade at the beacon instead of just a straight buff? Having to get the beacon /whine. | ||

Another way to put this: When would you use Snipe now? | ||

So it could be useful to both kill the mutalisks and to convince the Zerg to stop producing mutas altogether ^^ That would be awesome, or at least be like TvZ in BW where you make a rd of mutas to harass but eventually switch. I generally don't like people making mutas then just massing and massing until eventually throwing in 3-4 infestors. | ||

The important part is, that it was pretty much good vs everything lategame. Protoss can't mass one single unit, that is good no matter what your opponent has. | ||

They will have to babysit their vikings like crazy now. I cant imagine how hard it will be to deal with infestor/Blord comp. | ||

Protoss gets a bit more efficient for dealing with Mutas. Everybody's happy now :D I agree. Ghosts will still be far from useless. EMP is still very important, despite the nerf it got. Snipe will still be vital, despite the nerf it's getting now too. I just think that now, Terran will need to be a bit more selective on what to snipe in an army, instead of "fuck it, everything!" ^^ | ||
