that being said pvp is kinda boring because the mu is so 1 dimentional, blizz needs to think of a way of integrating dts back into pvp without messing up the balance in other mus | ||

I wouldn't say P micro is anymore difficult than T micro. I'd even argue the opposite. Infact, P micro is mostly 1a ffffffffff except for like.. making sure your immos target armored units. With T you carefully have to position each unit group to be effective. | ||

If you start winning with terran and zerg even though you've been playing toss all the time, I think you're style of play is more suited to other races than protoss. | ||

There's just a huge number of paths you can choose to go as Protoss. A lot of maps even allow fast expands to be reasonably safe. most pvp's only revolve around robo play or 4g/3g b.os, its impossible to dt because if u do and if it gets blocked(which it does 99% of the time, the only way dt rushs work is if u get lucky and ur oppo doesnt robo or if he robos late, this statement alone shows theres a flaw with the unit because in a game ur never supposed to rely on what your opponent does) your automaticly fucked because theres nothing to transition into, in sc1 pvp there were alot of follow ups u could do, players wouldnt necessarily dt to kill their opponents, if u did it was a plus but even if ur build was perfectly countered by your opponent it still wouldnt put you in such a huge disadvantage in sc2 its impossible to follow up a dt rush without dying, if u go for a macro build ud end up getting overrun because u wouldnt have enought time to temp tech and the other alternative would be to allin(3g stalker blink/4g mass zeal + charge etc.) its impossible to have an advantage after dt rushing.. p already has an ob out so he can see w/e transition u decide to do, ur basically dead because EVERY follow up to a dt rush is so easy to counter, i challenge anyone to come up with a perfect macro build that u can transition into after dt rushing (assuming your dt rush was blocked) that is safe vs every b.o | ||

ive done my first steps in sc2 with protoss and ended up pretty much 4 gate or robo all inning. I switched to zerg, because i really thaught for a while that this were the actual style of playing protoss and it seemed boring to me. But after i gained a certain amount of skill and was matched against better protoss oponents with my zerg, i got used to many variable protoss strategys... Also, the pro scene arround the sc2 protoss evolved and showed many fancy ways to play with protoss... So i decided to go back to them to test out some more stuff and there is plenty of variations to play with protoss... just get some inspiration out there and try something new  ... and dont throw ideas away only because it doesnt work on the first time. | ||

The only problem is forcefields. Good usage of that will hurt dts a lot. DT rush quite nicely counters 4gate. If your dt rush fails, you can still use the dts for harassing here and there for the rest of the game. | ||
