reaver drop

[Merovingian]

it seems that everyone hates reavers on this site...but i loved the reaver/templar drop a lot good old days when we were doing TCP/IP with my brother and his 20 SCVs go bye bye...

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

a classic, and i dont ever remamber dissin on reavers, i love the little scarabs... right up untill they are in my base

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

You're not alone man. I like to use Reavers a lot too. It just seems that most people are expecting a drop or an air assault from anyone playing Protoss, so their defenses are always heightened.

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

dont matter range plus boom = anti defense.

i do like seigies more tho, added w/ the alltime ultimate masters of the univers (scv's) they are really good.

 

[Merovingian]

corsiars with dweb own siege tanks i've seen koreans do it. not reavers tho.

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

why doesnt it work on reavers?

 

[Merovingian]

cause they dont have to deploy.

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

what do you mean? cus they cant attack except scarabs?

i dont really know EXACTLY what d-web does, pretty sad i know(i dont play toss... at all), but i always thought it made it so ground underneath couldnt attack air, the oppisite of darkswarm...

 

[Merovingian]

yeah. so its extra painful for siege tanks cause they need to undeploy, move, and redeploy each time the web hits them. not only does it take time, in the middle of a pitched battle its also very painful microing

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

The web prevents any ground-based ranged attacks from leaving the affected area.

thats why its good to have mutaliks fleets and scourage fleets on your flanks of the base, i raped many a drop/air assaults. *sigh* I miss playing starcraft..

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

0.o You mean you aren't playing it now? How long has it been?
Hours? Days? Weeks? MORE?
lol

 

[FatAlbert]

nope, sadly my mom delcared the game evil and took it.

 

[Merovingian]

starcraft is not evil...its more like a religion lol.

do u swear by the starcraft manual that u are speaking the whole truth, the truth and nothing but the truth?

 

[FatAlbert]

lol, to be clear she took because of kerrigans picture on the broodwar case, i tireid explaing it was just an alien infestation, but she took it. i bought the game again but my comp at the disk, and i had to resart my whole system one day, so i could not install brood war without the original, so i havent played in a long long time. So i've role plyed to satisfy my starcraft needs.

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

You poor, deprived soul... Get me 50 cc of Zerg Rush in here, stat!

 

[Merovingian]

that would kill the person i am guessing.

once i saw an island game where a shuttle reaver dropped every expansion without getting caught...it was amazing

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

Wow! That takes some crazy skills (or enemy stupidity). Did he use the same pair of reavers for it all?

 

[Merovingian]

one reaver. -.- however it got chased down by scourge in the end...after killing around 50 drones

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

I would say that 50 drones > 1 Reaver + 1 Dropship.

A great exchange indeed.
