GDI is bs. It is just a defense mechanism for the top players. I get SS/PS farmed/land grabbed and I can't fight back with GS or AB. Who is to say what a harmful attack is. SS/PS are extremely harmful to me and I just have to take it on the chin

yes, the GDI version here is the same as in Primary, though I didnt know it was here till I started.
It also why I dont play primary anymore unless I get a hair up my as* to play a big indie, So usually once every few years.

Or you could run a decent strat that doesn't get you grabbed as much.

I ran a risky strat this set with too little activity, and got grabbed hard because of it. I didn't come to the boards and piss and moan, and call parts of the game BS....I went all jetter and took my land back.

just a thought...

There are starts that can incorporate getting hit and using DR.

Taking hits at the start or at the very end isn't as disruptive as a bunch of random max hits in the middle of the set. Learn to attract hits in the beginning and deter in the middle of the set.
