Your next balance patch predictions and suggestions!

[Crane-1623]

What I would suggest?

• Change Microbial Shroud to be like Dark Swarm
• Allow Carriers to forcefully recall their Interceptors for high-league micro potential (avoiding Widow Mine shots etc).

[Extension Mod] Dark Swarm-style Microbial Shroud (and more Carrier micro potential!)

So I’ve been working on this for about a week now to get the mechanics right, and I think it is finally ready for testing. The main extension that this mod provides is that it reworks Microbial Shroud so it functions effectively like Dark Swarm from Brood War, namely that ground units under the cloud are protected from ranged attacks, which will largely miss and do very little damage (it will do fractional damage for some reason, but this is a nice side-effect because it still allows you to dam…

Other things, mostly to give Protoss more choice in how to respond, give Sentries an energy upgrade at the Cybernetics Core:

[Suggestion] Sentry Energy Upgrade

With the post-Blizzcon patch in the works, I would ask about a simple new upgrade on the Cybernetics Core: Khaydarin Matrix - Costs 150m 150g. Sentries start with +25 Energy. The idea being is that a Sentry would be able to cast Guardian Shield the moment it warps in, and combined with Stalkers, it would allow Protoss to better deal with Battlecruisers without having to keep Tempests at home (since you can’t use Feedback any more), and otherwise reduces the requirement of having to nerf other…

And maybe, just maybe, remove the Biological tag from Hellbats so they don’t get so badly shredded by Archons.
