**** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

Instead of right clicking, or attack moving an enemy, you right click (move) past the thor until your mutas fly directly over them. Then hit H to hold position and your mutas will stay in formation and attack. They won't stack up and let the thors do massive splash damage - the thors will only hit 1 muta at a time.

it does, its just its more effective when there are lots of mutas.

If they were all together then 2 thors would take them out after 2 shots but they were spread out.

You made it sound like a game breaker, vs MM and Thors it's completely and uttely pointless with 4 mutas and won't change the flow of the game at all.

Hold is bad, stop is a LOT better.
 
I had a bit of luck tonight against mass marine / marauder by using HT's mixed in with zealots. Psion storm is amazing against them.
 
Just started out in the 'Practice League' and am finding success with void ray rush. Kinda feels a bit cheap though, I prefer the long battles, but I can never seem to win them :(

Ditch the practise league and get into the proper ladder, the game speed is faster and you aren't protected from early rushes. Rushes can put a dent in your VR rush if you don't handle them right. :)

it was a game breaker, I had 4 tanks and 2 thors vs 4 mutas, they destroyed my thors, then my tanks.

If those thors beat 4 mutas I would have won.

If they were clumped (is that the word?) together my 2 thors would have taken them out, he didn't actually micro them, its just how they stopped. Was just a luck on his behalf

Im generally quite confident v zerg and protoss. When its a mirror TvT I can't seem to read the game at all!. :

TvT is just tanks and vikings, although the recent patch may have changed this.

He did thats why he raped my offensive. My 2 thors and mass marines got raped by bainligns/speedlings and 4 mutas. My 2 thors couldn't take them.

I'm also pretty sure 2 thors beat 4 mutas regardless, and since you change your story there's no point debating with you.

Debating? dudre calm down, you misunderstood me and I am clarifying.

If you want the whole story flawlesly, here it goes:

I went with my marines, there were a lot, about 4 tanks or 3 don't remember and 2 thors.

His banelings killed off all my marines, then tanks handled speedlings.

So 4 mutas and 2 thors with 3-4 tanks left in the battle. They took out my 2 thors, 1-2 mutas stayed alive that then killed off my tanks while they were running back.

Don't know why it is such a big deal for you mate, just sharing my story with people. Mutas weren't clumped up so there was no aoe damage, thats it, maybe bainlings took some health off thors too, but it was painless to watch 2 thors kill mutas 1 by one with no aoe effect.

feel like im being interrogated with all the " inconsistent information", really man you killed my mood for today, be proud and be consistent

I'm perfectly calm, you seem a little strange though.

It's not a big deal. I like helping others, and dislike misinformation, nothing sinister with that :)

hmm..notice you got +1 armour upgrade. Presumably as T1 units have at least as much health as shields? Usually I ditch armour in favour of weap/shield, but i think i've missed a trick here :p

Against Terran +1 armour means marauders take an extra shot to kill zealots. When they mass rauders, and you mass lots, it makes a difference.

Also +1 armour with guardian shield means marine deal just 3 damage to zealots :)

Against Terran it's worth getting armour over weapons.
