Psi Storm....

[Drkie]

Can someone tell me if sigh storm is actually useful in sc2 no matter what unit i spam it on it doesnt seem to make a difference. Even against lings it doesnt matter if theres a large amount of them.

I try to use sigh storm on roaches while i my zeas handle the zergs meat shield and did barly anything to them and both zergs and roaches slaughtered my zeas/stalkers/immortals

Round 2 he switched to mass hydras and i tried again and didnt work so well

I tried this against a terran who went MMM and all i did was kill some marines and the mauraders just slaughtered everything

Am i just unlucky? Bad? or is sigh storm really useless in sc2?

PS well aware i call it Sigh Storm cause im disappointed with it atm

First off, it's spelled "Psi Storm" not "Sigh Storm".

Psi Storm is only ineffective if your opponent moves out of the way. You have to trap your opponent by either:
1) Going on the offensive, so that your opponent's back is against the wall and that retreat is not an option. Works perfectly against people who camp their army in their natural expo or somesuch.
2) Trap with Force Fields.
3) Flank.

Psi Storm also has critical mass. If you saturate the battlefield with enough psi storms at the same time then your opponent's army will get hit no matter which way he tries to run, especially in SC2 where units clump up more.


But from what I hear, it's apparently more cost-effective to make Colossi for your ground-damage-dealing.

Psi Storm is a bit hard to use, I tried to use it but wasn't great effect.

Dunno why they nerfed psi storm. IT was a great spell, but wiht the range decrease it's a lot harder to use especially Air units which completely screw up things.

Zeas are called Zealots.

Psi Storm is great. Because it gets paired with feedback. I use lots of High Templar in both PvZ and PvT

Feedback the Medevacs, Storm the Marauders.
Feedback the Overseers, Storm the Hydralisks.
Feedback the Infestors, Storm the Roaches.
Feedback the Banshees, Storm the Vikings.

And let your mass of Zealots mop up.

wow that made me lol.

I manly use psi storm to protect the choke leading into my base, I find it works quite effectively there.

Anyone got any replays i can study for psi use?

[DemolitionSquid]

I posted two decent Storm replays here. Im not sure if the first game has Storm, it was more to showcase Zealot/Sentry, but the game on Scrap Station has good Storms.
