They walk? Booh! What are they effing infernos from WC3? Jeez... and the way they attack... what's up with this one handed palm kungfu strike? Totoally half hearted.

I want archon to HOVER, not walk
I want Psionic energy and blue flame to gush out of the archon's eyes like what they do in SC1
I want archon to strike as he really mean it, reaching out with both hands kamehameha style.

Below is the current archon face, check out those gushing flames from the eyes! OMG bad ass!
[image loading]


Below is how I want the archon's handshape to be when he's attacking:
[image loading]

Like he really MEAN it! All out and rageful, clawed around a sphere of energy!


An extra thought:
Wouldn't it be extremely cool if archon's attack isn't just lightning looking but it actually concentrates some of the flames around him and push those blue matters out? Like you are projecting part of your own psionic energy forcefully upon your enemies.
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

I'd rather no form at all. Just a badass ball of psionic energy. I may stretch to a pair of glowing eyes but there wouldn't be any corporeal eyes there, just glowingness.

Yea was the first thing I noticed .. please remove the legs.
Someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.

Why are you complaining so much? They look absolutely okay in comparison with many other new units.
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

Because blizzard will change it for the better if we are discussing it here. Blizz want all the inputs and feedbacks it can get, and we're doing just that.

Doesn't make logistical sense, along with the shadow.

I will forgive Blizz if the archon says "You're dead mothaf'cka" or something though.

I might be wrong on this, but I think twilight archons are the result of a dark templar and a high templar merging. It talks about the new ability to merge them together in the description. Now what I want to know is, what is the difference between a twilight archon and a regular archon besides the name?

Any two templar, high or dark (or both), makes the Twilight Archon.
