At this point, the only real changes needed to make Hogs balanced are the correction being made the Hunter(so that it can actually hit them), and a decrease of damage multiplier that Gauss deals vs. Buildings from 0.6 to 0.4.  Doing so would decrease Gauss Hog building DPS from 200 or so to 150 or so, whereupon it would not dominate other units at building fighting.

That is necessary, because as it is, thanks to Hogs running circles around everything that isn't a Banshee, even if the opponent builds a mess of Scorpions, the Hogs can simply avoid them and wreck the Scorpion player's base instead, then either win outright if the opponent can't rebuild their base, and through attrition if they can.  It doesn't help that it is far easier to kill Scorpion production (kill the vehicle depot or reactors) than Hog production (kill the central Base building).  Or you can replace the word "Scorpion" with any other unit in the game, for that matter.

Maybe not gremlins, at the same tech they can waste hogs if mircoed well.

orcle:by the time the enemy has a scarab i have already won

 

By the time you've already won I could have Power turret researched with 6 tanks out.

Cuz they work?

My golden rule when using Cutter is to spam Gauss Hogs if the other side even LOOKS half competent.  A few exceptions would be with the Arbiter or if there's more than 1 Forge.

They soft counter air, they completely destroy buildings, and they're excellent against other light vehicles as well(contrary to what people say, Gauss Hogs WILL rape Wolverines).  Well would you look at that!  They do exactly what infantry are supposed to do(but they don't)!

On top of that, they will analrape 2 of the 3 covenant leaders, they're almost impossible to hit with leader powers, and they have a reputation for raping their own counters(Hunters, Grunts, ODSTs, Wraiths). 

Trust me on this wraiths kill gauss hogs any day un less the wraith is very outnumbered

You hit a button and the Scarab turns into 20 Gauss Hogs.

If you know how to micro well enough, then Gauss>Wraiths.

drugiS:I use uber units for scouting. But that's just me.

By the time you have a Vulture out, I have Gauss and Medium Cryo.

By the time you have a Scarab out, I have 20 Gauss Warthogs, and I know how to micro.

only 20?

 

More Hogs=bad pathfinding.
