I have returned: StarCraft II

[Kaylia]

Is fungal grow able to kills unit, or is it like the defiler's move in SC1 and leave them at 1 hp?

[Bweigelt]

I'm pretty sure it's the same as plague.

Next question, is it stackable, or you have to wait until it wears off to reapply it? I'm trying to find a cheap counter against marine balls and mass mutalisk

[Bweigelt]

Definitely not stackable in the sense that it won't double the damage if you cast it twice. It think refreshes the duration though if it's cast on a unit that already has it though.

In any case it's very effective against Terran bio unless they have ghosts, which is quite rare in TvZ. Not sure of it's effectiveness against Muta's as I avoid ZvZ like the plague.

By stackable, I meant refresh. I do wish it was stackable like storm though, would make that unit a lot more useful.

A players did it against my muta in 2v2. Since muta range is incredibly short, he managed to freeze all 12 of them and do lot of dmg. I was lucky enough and broke free before the thor got there, but I could imagine how deadly it would be in a different situation. (with the long cast, you can stunlock them and bring some hydra to complete the rape)

[Misuicide]

Fungal Growth can kill units. Atleast i think thats what i remember, its the anti MMM as you've said.

No, it can kill them. Loves me some FG against the Terran balls.

edit =( should have refreshed before posting...

[Bweigelt]

Really? I guess I was just really lucky then. I had a Fungal Growth go off on a bunch of my Vikings and it left three of them with 1 health without killing them.

Oh god at some of the errors in those last few posts, lol.

Fungal can kill (2 casts will take out workers).

Storm doesn't stack damage, and actually does work the same way as fungal (refreshes the effect making it last longer).

In short, yes fungal is awesome for your listed aims. It can really help against mnm and is pretty much a hard counter to mutalisks if you can land it (it addresses their strongest traits, mobility and stacking).

Edit: fell into the same trap of not refreshing with regards to fungals killing power

Digital purchase is live and ready for pre-install.

Pretty sick how early this is. Expect to still get a substantial launch-day patch to download, and you probably can't download this and use a boxed-copy CD key to skip the install.

[Kaylia]

I feel like I'm going to regret ordering it on amazon. Bet its going to be late and wont be able to play for 3-4 days.

You could always buy a copy at a local store, then use your Amazon copy to return to the local store when it arrives.

Two questions

1) Is it possible to make the game save all the replay. Right now, it's only saving like the last 10 or so


2) Anyone in crystal league 1v1, and can I add you for a few games?

I went to edit my post for clarification, but apparently, failled to do so. Storm duration is pretty damn short, and generally, I'm not even done microing my other units by the times it's back up. For fungal growth, you have to wait a long time before using the next, making it much harder to micro.

[GRT]

there's a crystal league now?

i need a 1v1 practice partner myself, but i'm pretty bad, especially with toss, and i wanna practice with it to get better so i can ladder as random

anyone who feels like practicing 1v1s over and over holla at me

Edit: This new patch sucks donkey balls, We're just getting droped about 5 mins into each game. Retarded
