I'm Sick & Tired Of MutaRoach!

[DemolitionSquid]

FUCK.

This build is driving me nuts! I have no effective way to counter it.

I need Robo to gets Obs for scouting, and Immortals to counter Roaches. But I also need Templar or Phoenix to counter Mutas. Stalkers just aren't cutting it, they're too slow to catch Mutas raiding me, even with Blink. There's just no way to tech both paths fast enough while making sure I can ward off an early attack.

I need advice, it's crushing my soul.

I'm with you on this.

I imagine you could build a single gate with sentries and block use forcefield to block roaches, then tech to fenix. After you get 4-5, tech to immortals and observers.

Sentries should be able to hold roaches untill he gets a lair and moves them while burrowed. Either you get a fast observer or a cannon, for prevention. Getting a cannon would allow you to upgrade shields, but the observer would allow you to scout in the mid game.

I you tech to fenix first you can go around scouting, picking up roaches and attacking mutalisks. Immortals should be after, or else you will be defenceless against mutas.

This tactic might also be used to harras zergs so its also an agressive build.

My sole speculations though...

Are you even playing beta Blade? Sentries are 100 gas a pop. There is NO WAY to get enough for a constant FF without a very quick expo, which is also suicide.

[The_Blade]

Nope, I'm not in beta.

Stalkers beat Mutalisks. If you have mass Stalkers + Sentries with Guardian shield, you should beat MutaRoach. If you don't, then the other player is already way ahead of you. If he's harassing you, then attack his base for a change. Chrono boost one or two Immortals into your army to basically destroy every Roach he has.

Watch the last replay of HDstarcraft in youtube...Im sure it holds many answers...

Stalkers beat Mutalisks.

Unfortunately, the Zerglings that Mutalisks are paired will will eat your Stalkers alive. And if you add enough Zealots to deal with that, then you don't have enough Stalkers to take on his Mutalisks.

Did you miss the "too gas heavy" part?

Thank you. I know you're a Zerg player, so your insight is invaluable.

It's the general consensus that Protoss AA needs a buff.
