Reapers

I don't think so and it does make sence that reapers don't have anti-air, I meen I can understand a magneticly propeled bullet ( marines gause rifle )hitting a battlecruiser a few miles above the ground, BUT A PISTOL SHOT?

 

instead of tanks and turrets t;p camping it will be tanks and bunkers with turrets camping... unless they are nurfing the whole camping thing in general

 

lol

 

people that quote things that was said in the earlier post makes hulk angry!

 

pro, someone has to man those bunkers; that's pop and money cost just to sit around. The more you waste defending hard points (which terrans can obviously make very well) the smaller your army will be to attack.

But yeah, as a raider using reapers I'd only go for the weak spots; and I don't think they can handle real defences.

 

does anyone know the tier of the mine ability

 

It says so in the sc2 website, but from the icons on reapers i just saw the charges icon, and not the stim pack icon.

 

reapers + stimpacks? thats gonna be some way crazy combo. way crazy.

 

Will I ever be the first to comment...
I don't think they would give a highly claimed crime doers stim packs,furthermore they already have mines.

 

I think stimming them will be overkill. Come on look at them already. They are set to market. I would think stimming them up would bring them above what they are designed for, being raiding and scouting etc.

 

i just thought reapers and stimpacks would be somewhat overpowered.

 

From the SC2 website:
Perhaps unsurprisingly reapers are also enthusiastic users of stimpacks. The dangerous cocktail of combat enhancement chemicals suits their high-speed tactics perfectly, and the long-term side effects are scarcely likely to prove an issue.

 

so i guess that is it. maybe at the time you saw the screenshot stimpacks havent even been added, or the player didnt research them.

 

obviously they are just good at raiding economy,thats the only thing/strategy we know right now about them anyway...scouting,well yeah they make good scout but not all terrain the fact that they are good scouts are just for early game maybe,scout the enemy base & destroying workers.Other then that they fragile(look to me).

 

nah, they are good at attacking slow and powerful units, as well as what you said.

 

I've actually seen them move very fast in some videos and slower in others, so i have a feeling the fast movement was due to stim packs, but the place i saw only the D-8 charges and no stim pack was in the gameplay movie at blizzcon. So im still wondering what they plan on doing with that. Things seem like they will have stimpacks, but what i saw from the game play presentation makes me wonder.

 

Oh yeah your right,I forgot about their fight against the immortals,add that in.
@DKutrovsky
There might be jet pack upgrade

 

No im talking about the one at blizzcon.

Jet Pack is not an upgrade.

 

nope. if blizzard said there will be stimpacks, there will be stimpacks. everyone agrees?

 

Its hard to tell, blizzard is changing stuff right now, so if it proves to be overpower they might cut it
