Does Chrono Boost work on Photon Cannons?
I made a Test map and proved that Chrono Boost = Stim when applied to units. now I ask myself since Canons are structures can players chrono boost canons to "stim" them?
Re: Does Chrono Boost work on Photon Cannons?
Hmmm... if you bothered making a map to compare CB and stim... why not test CB on a canon while you're at it?^^
Sorry I can't be of more help, but that would be pretty interesting if it works (only for vsAI games... but still it could be cool).

Wait, how did you prove that CB = Stim? The ability only works on buildings (and only buildings that have tech/units)...
And no you cant chrono cannons sadly.

So, I guess the answer to the question is: if you set it to.

Sadly? imagine that imbah DPS with chrono boost.
What is really sad, that you cant chrono boost your allies buildings.
Re: Does Chrono Boost work on Photon Cannons?
During the beta you could, and it was horribly imbalanced. Not sad at all.

Imba? Cannons cannot move, so you can move back, and it would be a lot of wasted CBs, which are single-target and share an energy pool. Stimpacks on the other hand, can be activated for all units, costs HP that can be healed, and it also makes the unit faster, so it's actually much harder to run from them.

OH MAN IF I COULD"STIM" the collossus to attack faster that would be insane XD imagine a carrier or mothership...they hit alot as it is but with 50% faster rate of attack oh my gosh thats just so much damage!
Re: Does Chrono Boost work on Photon Cannons?
At first I was like, how had no-one yet discovered you could chrono boost units? Was there a trick?
Then you were like, I changed the validators in the editor so I could
Then I was like facepalm.jpg
I wish you could use chrono boost on allies structures. Been a few times when a protoss leaves/drops in ladder team games and their chrono boost gets unused.
Can you imagine? Mules and scvs twice as fast?! Even faster reapers. Faster banshees. Your nightmares just became real

Well.... for one thing the colossi won't work, if u try to recode the attack speed the beam scan will take atleast about .8 second to finish, even if u code the attack speed to 0.01 (lowest value) so colossi due to the beam scan will not nearly be effective with chrono boost due to their "haste cap" (lol WoW vocab kicking in (ex-WoW player))
But carriers and motherships oh my....

531 was it? without improved aspect of the hawk. I forget it was a while ago but it was something like that.
lol that'd be crazy if u could. start the second beam before the 1st one finishes
Re: Does Chrono Boost work on Photon Cannons?
Wouldn't mind if CB made buildings warp in more quickly - Have never stopped to check, does it speed up the cooldown of a Warpgate?

Yes it does.
