I've seen Maelstrom used in some PvZ. Saw some dark archon tos top carrier in PvP. But that pretty much it, is there any use for the dark archon?

if you can maelstrom a bunch of mutas and then storm them, they're all gone.. i've seen eriador pull it off in 2v2, and I don't think he did it for cuteness factor alone

It works and is VERY annoying. Only 50 mana to kill a templar? Full DA with upgrade can kill 5 templar at once.. 250 minerals and 750 gas gone in a matter of seconds. :O

feedbacking science vessels pisses me off... same with mcing/fbing my medics ¬_¬

then there is the decoy thingy

my friend used to haluc DA and send em into my base with one true DA in the back, i would freak, drop what i was doing (upon seeing 20 DA stroll up to meh expo) and immedietly despence useless firepower on the halucs... in the end he would run off with a marine or something, but it always freaked me out O_o
Telling the truth is like an enema, because it may be a bad idea at first, but in the end, it all comes out.

I believe the DA to be the most underestimated and underused unit in the game (save maybe the queen). Maelstrom and Mind Control are both awesome spells in there own way. There is no more cost effective combo than speed shuttle + mc da vs any race using top end units and Maelstrom vs ultra ling with dt archon/temp support is nearly unstoppable. People keep complain about a imbalance of ultra ling vs protoss army try using DAs PLEASE PEOPLE. Think about it...the defiliers are Ps greatest threat because they basically make archons 1/3rd as effective and can plague...which is awesome. But 1 feedback renders them useless. This combined with the ability to complete freeze a large group of ultras (and causing the auto ai to fry to lings instead) is sooo good when youre dealing with 3/3 cracklings. The DA is pretty much the sole key in changing the current z v p belief. Remember Grrr...'s game where he actually won vs a zerg with a huge economy and massive amounts of ultra ling. People should learn a lesson from that and should pretty much always be using das vs hive tech zerg with ultras.

One or two DAs in probably any Matchup would be worth it but ppl in general don't incoperate it into their play cause it makes their over all preformance worse. Pros would probably do it more to but while learning to use DAs more, they would probably get worse since they already have so much to remember and that is something they can't even afford to happen for a little bit.

That's just what i think;D
