For instance, the Immortals die faster to reapers than to sieged tanks. I don't think simply making it 'explosive damage on a small target' or whatever can account for such a weaker weapon killing something with so many hit points at a comparable rate. . | ||

It says "2 [zerg symbol]", but it doesn't actually cost you any psi, because you are also consuming two psi by losing your mutalisk. Similarly, an unmorphed psi prism takes up 2 psi. After morphing, your psi goes up by 2, but it also goes down by 2, resulting in net change of 0. | ||

I think that was one of the big limitations of BW, and they probably agreed. For instance, the Immortals die faster to reapers than to sieged tanks.

Since the shield only has 100 hp and resisted THAT much damage I guess that the shield has either massive damage reduction or each shield hp counts as alot of normal hp. Once the shield went down though the Immortal took heavy damage from the siege tank. | ||

E though, that letter is barely in Phasing Mode at all (last letter). Now I'm really wondering how they're planning to set up the hotkeys. | ||

I would be surprised if they didn't let people define their own hotkeys (I don't know about default hotkeys, but if you don't like default ones you can probably change them much easier than with BW) | ||

How do you know this? WC3 armor is simply a % of reduction and different types of armor/damage types interact in different ways(Similar to SC, but instead of being halved/doubled there is some bonus amount). I find the WC3 armor system absolutely convoluted as hell. Im really hoping they stick with the SC system as it is pretty good(Though lent itself to be stilted towards weapon upgrades in the very late game as armor simply wasnt as useful vs anything with a 2 or more attack bonus). | ||

The armor/attack type table is just like in BW, but the damage varies between 35%(if we exclude divine armor type, which is campaign only and takes 5% from everything) and 200%, while in BW it's between 25% and 100%, but the armor effect is simply bland +6% hp effective increase against normal attacks, while for BW armor is effective against low damage/fast attacking units, while hp are more efficient against high damage/slow attacks. | ||

I think I remember them saying so in some interview, cant remember where now though. They basicly said that to make a good gameplay video they didnt want to use the fastest speed setting. | ||
