Siege Tanks. Make a ball + ~4-6 siege tanks. 1 volley from even 2 tanks will kill a huge clump of marines.

4-5 Tanks will blow the living shit out of Marines and Marauders. Have your units in front of your tanks to soak up the damage and the battle will quickly be decided.FoxSpirit said:TvT, what's a good answer to the bio ball?? Except "have a bigger one" :lol

Hazaro said:You need to have a few stalkers (or an immortal) in there plinking away while your zealots are taking the brunt of the damage. You'll have to dance them in and out of range as the T player tries to target fire them.
Hazaro said:For damage I am only talking about Zealots. Like you said a stalker dies in 5 hits to a mard with no shields (remember stalkers and zealots both have 1 armor).
Hazaro said:That's about as much as I can try to help you from a Terran players perspective.
From my viewpoint if my initial push doesn't work and P has his expo up it's an uphill fight for me. You want to be holding off the T push, delaying and dacing and using zealots as a meat shield over the entire course of the map to buy you that extra 30-60seconds to get your first immortal or 2 out while you tech and get your expo kicking in the extra gas.
iamblades said:4) against a terran ground army, you definitely want to go with a robo heavy build. lots of immortals and colossi, with gateway units and immortals out in front of the colossus to be the meatshield. Make sure you use the sentry's guardian shield ability, it reduces ranged damage against all units inside the shield, and since all terran attacks are ranged, it is really useful. Also research and use charge(this one is an autocast ability once every 10 secs) if you have a bunch of zealots, it makes your zealots 100x more useful vs terran, and since you are going to have extra minerals to blow on them with a robo heavy build, you might as well get some use out of them. Blink might be useful as well if you have enough stalkers. Note that protoss have a lot of spells they can cast, so you want to plan your army composition/hotkey grouping accordingly. I generally hotkey my whole army to one button and hotkey just the sentries on the next button so I can switch over and pop guardian shield or lay down some forcefield(not as much against terran), if I go stalker blink I make a third group just for them. Also since you have 2-3 robo facilities, you should make a couple observers and put em on scouting patrols in key areas of the map.
TvT is never about a bio army. Tanks, vikings, banshees..its really the most stressful kind of game you will haveFoxSpirit said:TvT, what's a good answer to the bio ball?? Except "have a bigger one" :lol
Mr Cola said:On my road to my first win, i was really doing well then, as i was expanding and he was almost crumbled he sent out two Dark templars and because this is like my third game i had no idea what was going on, no idea where they were, no idea how to uncloak them and because my natural resources were so low he killed 2 expansions and moved into my main and well...shit
Someone hold me
claviertekky said:Anyone here have a Nvidia card? I've been having trouble with this game that I can only run it on low settings without crashes/freezes. I don't have issues with an ATi card.
Nvidia + Blizzard needs to fix their shit ASAP.
Nvidia forums has a small thread here:

Make void rays. Those ships are so annoyingSarye said:so after playing extensively yesterday, I'm still having trouble PvT. I just cannot for the life of me stop the first MM rush. I think my issues is not having enough meatshields (e.g. zealots) and focusing too much on teching up to Immortals/Colosi and sacrificing my unit size. I'm also having issues using the sentry correctly.
I'm also terrible at the Macroing and I think ultimately that's what i need to focus on. My eco stats is always last compared to everyone else.
Time to review my replays =(
Des0lar said:Just had an EPIC game TvT. I'm in bronze league, so don't expect some uber micro, but well, this was probably the most awesome game I had.
My enemy knew exactly what he was doing, and nearly killed me off, but when his tactic failed, he was clueless. Sitting on 8000 minerals in the end :lol
Uploaded my epic recovery here: http://www.mediafire.com/?0yz5czlwyz4
Would be glad if someone actually watched it and gave me some input in how to improve myself

My 8800 GT runs fine too. Loud but fine :lolMengy said:My 8800GT runs the game great. No problems here at all.
I should note that I am also not using the latest drivers. I'm a few revs behind, 190.xx something or other I think. I was going to update them but I'm not having problems so I'm just going to leave it alone for now.

Thor? Way too early in the game.
Help!

I just began toying with Ghosts. They're quick to get, no need for a Factory prior to building them, and quite devestating in an early rush, sneaking them in during the big fight and launching nukes.mbmonk said:Wow. I just looked up how the Immortal is effected w/ EMP. Damn.. not only does the EMP remove his shields, but by doing that, it also removes his "hardend shield" as well.
This 1 spell is an AOE damage spell, shows cloaked units, removes casting abilties, makes immmortals mortal again. It's pretty crazy the utility that this spell has. I must be missing something because as Terran I would have ghosts by default :lol

Psy-Phi said:No, unless you don't mind not getting constant FPS. At ultra (max) the FPS dips to below 30 in large army battles with a mothership involved. If you want to keep 40-60fps constantly regardless of whats going on, dip it to high.
Ultra settings in game say they're for GPU's with 1GB of memory. The GTX 260 216core I have has 896...and it definitley shows on Ultra. It's fine on High though. This is on a Q9550 @ 3.2GHz.
