Your picks for Beta

[Arkalis]

With Beta may or may not be near, think about which units will have the greatest impact in the testing phase and beyond. We've all seen the hard-punching Marauder, the tough Roach, the raiding Stalker...

In your opinion what units are fundamental for each race? Analysis and breakdowns are welcome. Nominate your own units also.

In my opinion, the Warp Prism is a must-have for the Protoss as well as the Marauder for Terran and the Roach for Zerg.

What are you trying to ask exactly? Marine, Zealot, Zergling will forever be the staple units. That hasn't changed.

All the macro mechanics, disruptor, and maybe marauder.

Every Gstar I watched the same non-aggressive builds were used to go straight for the queen/OC/Obelisk as fast as possible. I hope they're not so good it kills any build variation before that (like an aggressive 2 gate, 12 hatch before pool, or bbs).

We're still pretty much in the dark about a number of casters, so not sure what to call there. Even if force field isn't actually overpowered it's going to be complained about nonstop it wrecks an unsuspecting newby.

I used roaches in the alpha at Blizzcon 08 and just could not lose, it was pretty overpowered then. By Blizzcon 09 they were considerably toned down so I don't think that unit will be much of an issue. I have a feeling the disruptor has the potential for some pretty ridiculous exploits, well just have to wait to see what comes out during beta.

Which reminds me, do we know exactly what they're up to with the roach right now? Last I knew they were experimenting with burrowed movement, and I haven't heard anything since.

[Blazur]

Stalkers.

No one knows.

[ChaosSmurf]

And lo, the minions did ask "What ith thous situational reckoning regarding this and that, in the current build of this most late of games?", and quoth all:

No one knows.

I want Ghosts to be a big deal, but frankly anything that's new is gonna get a lot of testing.

[ArcherofAiur]

I swear if we get beta and the roach is a flying unit that shoots exploding scourge and the colosus cant climb walls and the hydralisk is removed....



well im going to have some choice words.
