Starcraft 2 Armory - Unofficial Starcraft 2 Fansite

Jesus Christ, listen people, the Protoss only have ONE, count 'em ONE, attack spell. Look at the Terrans, they've got Snipe, EMP, Nuke, D-8, HSM, Yamato, Missile Barrage, and whatever the Thor has now. That's EIGHT. And you're complaining because another race has ONE powerful attack spell? Please.

I was speculating on why the Psi Storm has a 1 second cast, and everyone else was saying it wasn't op. Even the op said he was joking. The entire last page was working off of the site's info, which said 80 damage per burst. Obviously 80 a burst sounds a bit high :/

Know that this entire thing could all be based on outdated/speculated information.

I think plague is worst than psi storm. Psi storm is only good to shoot down burrow or cloak units. Storm can be dodge easily, the only sad part is moving your units to another casted storm. Beside the HT needs to move in to take the shot, so you'll be able to see it and take him out with your HSM. Zerg, infestor mind control. Caster units war. Those are all common since to use in the game, since im pretty sure it take time for spell caster units to come in mid game.


Plus with the salvage ability, I always knew that was going to affect balancing issues. Even now Dustin ammits it. C,mon 100% recources, tell me thats not borken.

Well, I think it's fine now if it takes a second to actually take effect. Assume this is the info in the guide. If a HT comes out of the fog of war running at you (most likely you'll be moving all over the map), he'd easily be able to throw a psi storm at you before being killed, or even if he isn't in range, shooting it somewhere close by so it still hits you.

And since we're using the guides info, 80 dmg per burst + instant cast would mean you'd pretty much be screwed if an HT appears.

no were not. 80 per burst is not right at all. and it isnt insticast.

chill out, its not outrageously OP

Damnit.... That's the exact opposite of what I've been saying.
I never said it was outrageously op, I've never been trying to say it was op, I was saying what I was saying before, when we were using the guide info about 2 hours ago. This entire time I've been been saying it's fine :/ I know it's not OP. I know it's not an instant cast. I know it doesn't do 80 dmg. All I was doing was explaining what I said before, namely reasons why the it's not an instant cast anymore.

Sorry if I seem a little angry, just that I've been saying it's fine, and everyone turns on me for explaining what I said a little while back, which I said could easily be based on false information :/

...Also I'm hungry.

I am so tired of seeing someone type "OP," with little or no context. Ever since that horrible HSM thread, this type of post has been filling up the forum. Please find a better way of expressing a point or argument. It is enough to make one leave.

Well, you know how it is. Someone doesn't like something, and they complain about it; sometimes even if they have no backup for it - -

what? this is BS, protoss have one offencive spell, and they dont have majoority splash either.

Nil, you got a lot of money! Lemme get some xD

And guys.............. P-Storm is OP! It always was OP! It was TP!!!! But we all adopted to it, right? I mean what about Swarm/Plague? Irradiate/EMP? Those were some pretty fucking powerful spells too..... You just need to learn how to counter them...

And cmon, you definitely had to escape the storm. The most I usually lose (when I try) is 2 hydras(lings) to a strom and if they were right in the middle... Surrounding units usually get away with most of their health! Like someone said it's between 15-20hps/second damage... just move faster!!!




Anyway... I think we all just need to wait for the game to come out and play it and then see if anything's OP or not... I mean Blizzard have over 10 years of experience with SC and BW... Don't you think they know how to balance shit by now? lol

I think that pretty much sums it up XD
I'm always annoyed by those people that think that just because they play a good RTS, that means they know what makes a good RTS :/

how the hell is it op?

its the one damn spell we got that damages things, terran have the f*cking nuke!

the only other thing is planet cracker and we all know its a matter of time till thats gone again, and even if it stays it wont do much coz its so far up the damn tech tree!

The reason is quite obvious my good man...

The Terrans don't have it :p

lol yea....thats the point why the F*CK have the terran got a huge buff!

So true. Anytime another race has something you want in yours, it's automatically "OP". It's in the troll handbook somewhere. :P

I think Psi storm is great and is fine as it is. Plus it seems like the new animation in motion rocks.
