Carrier question

Hey Phoenix, why do you say carriers are strictly for PvT? What does the P and Z readily have that can counter carriers quickly and effectively?

Well, using them against toss isn't such a bad idea since toss is stuck using goons/temps as a counter. Neither of which can keep up with carrs so you might be on to something about that.

I've always felt using them against zerg is dangerous because of defiler's plague(not swarm) and everything else perhaps. I've seen reps of toss using them against zerg but I've been fearful to even try against zerg.

That's pretty much why I said strictly pvt but I do use them toss once in a while. And even then it's highly situational.

if u want to try carrier vs zerg, u have to do a early expo bo with good sair/reaver harass

Do protoss players EVER use a scout?

 

[CuteGuyNo.1]

scout are just a pressure unit, it has been used in pvt but not commonly due to the fact that u really need good scouting inorder for scout pressure to work

corsairs r best air unit Not to mention hella cheaper than a carrier

 

[Crazy Demon]

Yes-I always use Siars and Scouts and a carrier for range. Great Combo

I only use Scouts when VSing the computer, only because that's the only time i can really use them :rolleyes

Scouts are not used in any MU, corsairs are only used in PVZ and pimpest plays! There two weak, too slow, if you HAVE to use them scout rush instead of sair rush, if you double stargate in a hidden position in your main or out, and if you have a 3-6 Z P basesetup their ovie won't be able to see for awhile, thus if you hide it a bit even longer, if you catch a zerg with no evolution chamber, no hydra den, and teching to mut type gg.

lol, it's weird. When I first started posting here, I used to think scouts were the best air-to-air unit in the game. Now I NEVER build them and think they're WORST unit in the game.
