D-8 Charges:
— Can be selected
— Can't be destroyed (no HP shown — like an invincible unit)
— Take about 2 seconds to go boom

This came up in the "Wont survive beta' thread (courtesy o' me) - but I think I'll post my concern here too:

Looking forward to Reapers myself, but frankly this is the concern I have about this new turn of events as well - I mentioned in an earlier post that if you dont get some type of, 'under attack' notification upon the deployment of the mines, there is next to nothing you'll realistically be able to do in two seconds unless you happen to be in that particular spot at the time.

3 seconds?


Edit: Then again, they have not mentioned if there has been any change to their damage. -

I'm told that they do friendly damage, so you can't just throw them anywhere.

they've become unkillable? Terran seems so OP right now. They've just got too many options.

(I play Terran - I'd like my opponents to stand a chance though)

I don't get it, why are they selectable if they can't be destroyed? That's like being able to select doodads.

They do splash, right?

To find out how much damage they can do.

Was wondering if maybe they have plans to make them susceptible to particular spells as a potential counter. (?) EMP, Force Field, Vortex?

Pft, not destoyable

thats just stupid
at least give the static defenses a chance to survive

They're not static defense because they explode about 2-3 seconds after you put them down.
