The warhound really needs an air attack imo!


Or you can just build vikings, you know..like mech terrans who need anti air should :p


@Fragile

What do you mean again? Thors are fine in TvZ. And why would you want to get warhounds in TvZ? They're supposed to be anti-mechanical units.


Because there is no mech unit that can go toe-to-toe with the Ultralisk.


Ultras aren't immune to stun anymore, I heard. So the 250mm cannons will vapourise them if true.

2 minutes on preordain sounds like a really freaking long time.

Also I'm surprised no ones mentioned the fact that the energy recharge makes templar broken. 8 templar can throw down initial storms, and then have up to another SIXTEEN. And if they get emp'd before an engagement, they can recharge after the EMPs are wasted.



Special Ability – Energize (25 Energy):
At a range of ~8 the Mship Core recharges the energy of any unit/building at the rate of about 25 per second. If energy is spent during this recharge time the building/unit will still recharge to maximum energy (Basic Application: Mass Chronoboost).


It's still to early too say "X is broken". Are you at Anaheim? Have you tried it?

On the other hand, that quote basically means that within 8 range, with very good micro, a high templar can do infinity storm. :D

On the other hand, I see tons of potential for trolling in Bronze league with proxy Nexus+Mothership Core rushes :D

It's like a Protoss version of the Planetary Fortess rush :D

Then you read it different than me. I read it as it says that: when you cast it, it will keep on loading the energy of a specific unit untill it reaches max energy. (So one time energy cost on mothership thingy. And it will keep loading energy untill max is satisfied.)

However; if the other unit uses energy during that period, it will keep on charging it up.

That would imply infinity chronoboost/storm, if well done. No?
I love.

The main weakness of Storm is the cooldown, you can rarely cast 2 storms with a fully charged high templar. Either because the high templar dies to random shots, or because there are no more units to storm because they're all dead.

LOL i just noticed, now that battle hellions have more HP, do damage in a cone not in a line, and do 10 instead of 8 damage vs non-light units, they will do even better vs stalkers. Of course, they won't be able to retreat/chase at will in battle mode, but in a straight up fight they will be even better I think. Maybe I'm wrong about the splash though. Of course the stalkers can just kite and run away, but battle hellions tanking/supporting siege tanks seems to be much much stronger now:D. They could also take down immortal shields faster.

But tanks outrange the immortals/stalkers. So it's not like the immortals/stalkers can just kite all the hellions, and even so it would take forever to kill them all. And it would take forever for stalkers to kill hellions too. Sure they could engage and back off again, but ideally they don't want to have to do that because of the tanks.

Yea, 135 hp is a pretty good tank, especially since stalker/immortal don't do extra damage, and gives them some more lategame power instead of being the food-inefficient hellions they are now (in battles i mean, of course they're still useful for harassing and such).


75 energy only? o.o i feel like it should be like 100 or 125. And yeah I don't like consuming buildings too much, even if it makes your extractor/defense/hatch/tech easier to snipe/kill. I think it was more interesting consuming units like in BW.

The tempest seems to be good if you have already won the game, and maybe against colossus where with +1 upgrade will 3-shot one.

I think this is one of the few points most people agree on. The Warhound looks more than ugly.

Interesting...what happens if you use a unit that can cast many many things at once.

I have a feeling that this wont work but if it does it will probably be patched anyways. (to give the units full mana amount only)

Will test
