dont forget build time

If you saw the push before it happend, then you wouldnt be in that situation, that means OBSERVERS. and turtle rans, arbiters would be pretty terrible because of there cost and tech, so just out-macro and go mass carriers lol, and hes fucked.

btw gol < zeal/carrier/templar

Typical ever so used strategy face me with it and watch the outcome ;)

you terran? or a turtle ran... -_-

Wasting a few zealot and using psy storm to kill tank would be quicker and more efficient then wasting resource on a arbitrer no to mention the build time they have.

Zeals > Gols btw, less cost.

still, mass gols are easily controlled with shocks

Care to explain what shocks are??? Im lost.... Arclite shock cannon from seige tanks is the only thing that i can think of that can be called "shocks" or even has that in its name.

Psy Storm is what ehs reffering to im pretty sure. They are quite affective against all races but more effective versus zerg. If your toss and dont build high temps vs zerg your sadly not playing even close to the protoss's full potential.

Arbiters are Dark Archons would also be a great combo against zerl. Use the arbiters to recall, and use the Dark Archons to maelstrom the little suckers. Mwahahahahaha.

Any unit can suck if the user doesn't know how to use them correctly, the best unit and worse unit threads are kinda pointless for this, you might be good with arbiters while I'm good with dark archons, it all depends on your skill.

ok, no. Dark archons are only needed for Ultralisks, but for anything else, shock (PSI STORM... writing shock is a habit) will rape anything else.

Im not sure if your aware but thats a shit load of gas.
I would prefer hallucination on some archon.

In the long run it will be more then worth it, trust me ive done it

Eh, aribiters and recall are only really effective against terran, any race can just drop units, nothing too special.
