No idea if the topic was legit, as it is now removed, but here is it's content:

Fungal Growth, Corruption, Contaminate, Graviton Beam, Concussive Shells, Abduct, Revelation, Vortex, and 250mm Strike Cannons – Phase Shield removes the effect and prevents units from being affected.

EMP – Phase Shield removes the anti-cloaking effect but not the damage dealt.

Neural Parasite – Phase Shield will not remove this effect but it will prevent units from being affected.The energy upgrade has been removed.

Entomb’s duration has been reduced to 25 sec, but the health per Entomb has increased to 100. The cost per unit has changed from 150/200 to 150/150.

no way...

Reaper has a new passive ability: Battlefield Awareness – Allows Reapers to see up cliffs

thats crazy :D but i like reapers haha w40k ;)

hm strange, the thread is still there but my link seems to be wrong^^ us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/…

Reapers being able to see up cliffs is huge. Still can't exactly outrange queens or marines, but itll keep them alive much longer. Warhound is only temp removed, I believe while they rework it.

yea reapers might actually get useful again, and the i also fear that warhound might come back :F

PS while the official SC2 forums are cool, there's way more discussion over on the TL thread teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php/?topic_id=368782 :-)
