    In a PvT match up, assuming each player has at least one or 2 expos mining, should P ever bother to get the Templar Energy upgrade?

    I might disagree. Templar energy is less important in PvT than the other 2 MUs because you rarely expect your templars to live long enough to cast 3 storms anyway. If you're making optimal use of your resources you should probably wait until lategame to get it.

    Hm... okay. Would you say the same for the shields upgrades? (Same MU, PvT)

    I've seen in replays some progamers get them late game, and some didn't bother getting them at all.

    P question: if you mind control a shuttle you will get what is inside but what happens if you hallucinate a shuttle loaded with let s say 4zeals.
    Will you have 4hallucinates zeals as well?

    Again with hallucinate: can you halucinate a carrier's interceptor (but not the carrier itself, not very usefull but anyway). If you hallucinate the carrier it wont attack (because no interceptors) but if you get the interceptor does it fly by itself?

    Hallucinated shuttles can never hold units (even hallucinated ones).

    If you try to hallucinate an interceptor: -INVALID TARGET-

    As for shield upgrades, they're very rare especially in PvT. Vults and tanks do so much damage per shot that shield upgrades are pretty much negligible.

    Thanks again.

    Another question, a bit more general, is there any easy way to "spread-cast" spells like Psionic storm, Disruption Web, Dark Swarm, etc. with multiple units? I've done it before with like HTs, occasionally if I storm with 3 or so selected, they storm in a nice triangle around where I selected, but other times it's just one stacked storm. Is there an easier way to do it, or do you have to individually micro each cast?

    All I know is, it has something to do with how far apart your templars are when you try to spread-cast. It's just like when your units are close together they'll move in formation, but when spread out they'll clump to a point.

    There is no easy way. Try searching for "starcraft magic box cast".

    I have one BWChart question..
    I played against this Protoss-user, which turned out to be a very skilled player. After the game I decided to watch the replay and I then saw that his macro was very stable (good), thus I harassed him through out the whole game.

    He had an average APM of 221, but no hotkeys attached to anything according to BWChart. (In other replays I can see the hotkey-setup)

    Is this possible? KEKE? Or is it a bug? Or a hack?

    I have about the same amount of APM with hotkeys :$

    Thanks in advance..

    Well, I'm pretty sure it's possible, there'd just be a lot of micro spam elsewhere. It's not that hard really once you play enough to just instinctively click a million times. And with just a mouse, and ctrl-1-2-3 you can get around 300+ APM(spamming in my case haha)

    I was wondering about that myself earlier today. I think the vulture micro trick might work, assuming Probes have Patrol... I'm pretty sure they do >_<

    1º How does some Z pros micro a Drone like "hit n run" reaaaally fast and kill a scv?


    2º Should I have defilers away from the army? Or send them together in the middle of the units?

    meaning,
    Ctrl +1 = 1defiler + 11 lings
    Ctrl +2 = 2defiler + 5 hydras + 5 lings
    (this way I have to click-select them on the field)

    or,

    Ctrl +1 = 8 lurker
    Ctrl +2-3 = lings
    Ctrl +4 = 3 defilers

    (this Way I can deselect defilers on the Hud unit-display thing)



    what's the best way?

    136 u need Lan latency and i think micro or even attack and move could work... but lots of micro needed anyway

    About the defilers, usually u want them to arrive asap, i think both can work, just use the more u are used to, if u havem them grouped like u said 1st, they can die to some tank splash/storms (as they are in the middle of the groups) but if u put them as in 2, they can be sniped by vults rines etc if u dont take care... i think the best way is putting them just in 2nd line of ur army's formation to attack, this way all ur units get the 1st ranged shot (tanks goons etc) and u can swarm/plague fast enough and without many looses

    ZvP - Plague or Ultra vs Zealots?

    hydra Lurk lings etc VS Mass zealots

    Go for ultras or defilers? assuming swarm would suck against zealots, is plague worth it? or only after you have ultralisks?

    138 usually consume

    139 Ultras > Zealots so plague isnt for zealots it is just for ARCHONS that make only splash damage under swarm O_o, Ultraling > zealots badly, if u can afford it plague is a good option most if he is going for some reavers late game, but think that is better to "counter" arks --> swarm, than countering zeas---> plague because they die so ez to ultraling O_o
