The Thor's problems up til' now..........

[Krikkitone]

More Raw hp for the Thor and a better air attack, possibly make it a LOS blocker
More Armor for the tank

[Triceron]

We have things like the Battlecruiser with X8 attacks and Mothership with X3 attacks, each of which can attack multiple targets. Thors CAN be made to attack different targets, but I would figure there would be great imbalances if that were so (4 Thors completely raping marine armies, unaffected by zergling swarms etc)

Your comparison is flawed. This is how 2x attacks work. So it's completely intentional.

If it were a regular 45 damage attack with half the cooldown, you'd have a point, but it's not.

i was wondering when you would show up back your 'buddy'... And have you seen the animation closely? First shot kills target after a second comes the other shot hitting nothing...I'm NOT saying it's not how are 2x attacks suppose to work,but rather that the animation is really sucky...that's my whole point !

No they don't,they only hit single targets...The battlecruiser attacks very fast,and even after the target is dead several of the shots are wasted,before switching to the next target...And btw they don't have X8,they have fast attack speed dealing 10 AtG and 6 AtA

Do you know how many times I've had tooth and nail drag out arguments with Nicol? Seriously.

Anyway, your insolence is noted.

Then why are you arguing with me or Nicol? That's not how 2x attacks work. Period. You can argue that they should change it, but that's just not how they work.

I think the Thor is pretty strong. It's air attack might be a bit too specialized, it might not fill it's tanking role sufficiently, but I think it's really strong regardless of that.

Finally you noted it,good job man,aren't you a smart one...The whole 'arguing' was that Thor's one of a kind double attack is seen in the animation as TWO separate attacks...And the second hit of the double attack hits NOTHING despite that there is a big delay between the two hits,it's quite ridiclious to compare it to normal double attacks(zealot,vikings,etc),It's not about mechanics it's about ANIMATION... get it already? oh,wait you still need to make a 'comeback' with something,go ahead >....

No it doesn't. That's the way EVERY x2 animation attack works. Unlike SC1 where sometimes something would fire with two missiles as it's animation... ANY animation in SC2 where you see two missles, two projectiles, whatever, counts as a x2 attack.

Zealot uses two blades. 2x attack. Viking fires two missles 2x attack. And so on and so on. Thor has two cannons. 2x attack. That's just the way the game works. That's not a 'comeback'. I don't know why you're being so sensitive.

As I suggested in another thread, they should try making make Thors into LoS blockers.

I dont remember this, but I support 100%

I'd love to see this tried.

ok so be it... Doesn't change the fact that the difference between other 2x attacks and Thors are VERY different regarding the animation,which in turn is very deceiving,It's like vikings shoot 2 missiles to kill a target at the same time, one is enough to do that BUT the other is also flying a fraction of a second behind the first ,so explodes around the target without damage....The Thor on the other hand-shoots the first cannon kills the target,THEN shoots the other into thin air...see my point finnaly?
