Dragoons or Immortals Which is Better?

if i am not mistaken,the Immortal can attack air units as well,right ??
anyway,i like the Immortal better.it looks better and has this nice shield upgrade,there's no way a Dragoon could be better than a Immortal.

 

lets just have this thread rest in peace ^_^

 

Can you even compare the two. One is sweet early game support/ awesome in mass unit. The other is a damage sponge used for breaking into bases later into the game.

Honestly, I loved the dragoon but I really can't wait for the Immortal.

 

Uhm, you CAN compare them, as storywise they are in fact the replacement for the dragoon which had been made obsolete by the absolute pwnage of aiur.

 

i agree

 

I liked dragoons too, but the immortal is better. The new powerful shield makes it really useful against terran and any powerful units

 

Dragoons really were better at anti-air than ground, but Immortals can't do that. Overall, I'd say that Immortals will have more strategic uses, ie better, but I'll still miss the Dragoon. At least it's still in the map editor.

 

I will always miss the 'goon but the Immortal is cooler and better.
It would win in a fight too

 

stalkers are the new dragoon, immortal is completely different in its role, and no, the immortal can't attack air

 

yeah, but although it has the blink ability, stalkers has a lower vitality.

 

I like immortals better because they're powerful.

 

for attack i like goons cause they have land and air, immortals look better

 

i like the dragoon better, it's much more versatile

 

The dragoons are so stupid they can't even make their own way. They get stuck just for a second and they go backwards trying to find another way out when they could just go a little to the left or right. And the phase disruptor is just overrated for me.

 

that's not the fault of dragoon itself ! blame it on the lack of computing power and stupidly inefficient path finding algorithms of the late 90's

 

josh: that stuff is just pathfinding, a problem with every ground unit in the game. Supposedly the SC2 pathfinding will be better, but...it doesn't have anything to do with the actual unit.

 

I really like Immortals, I just felt that Zealots+Dragoons felt more like the backbone of the toss army. Zealots+Stalkers just doesn't feel right.

 

Thats why the stalker is technically not the replacement of the dragoon. The Immortal is. I would not take stalkers around as actual attacker. It has minimal HP in comparison and is meant more or less as a stronger base raider. I'd use the Immortal in the same capacity that the goons were used.

 

yea but immortals can't attack air anymore and are more expensive. The stalkers are the same price as dragoons, but are weaker by a long shot. I guess this is justified with the blink ability, but i'm pretty sure stalkers are the replacements of dragoons.

 

i thought the stalker cost exactly the same as dragoons and had the same combined hp/shield as dragoons. they only have a slightly weaker attack, 18 instead of 20, it can hit air too. so it's more or less a dragoon with blink.

immortal, on the other hand, has much more hp/shield, something like 300. it also cost more resources as well as supply, it also has hardened shield and it cannot attack air, apparently it's range is also much shorter as shown in the protoss demo video. it's role is completely different from dragoons. dragoon were weak against tank, but immortals totally owns tanks. it took a tank in siege mode 3 shots to kill a dragoon, it takes 12-15 shots to kill an immortal
