Man you just ruined my whole night.
That thing seems like it would actually be useful. I would take that over crappy chronoboost any day, Though the initial use of cloaking buildings would have been kinda crazy. Cloak your DT Shrine.

Cloaking your buildings would be pretty worthless, given that all 3 races scout with detection (scan, overseer, obs).
Yeah, that's true. I was more discussing the boost to probe gathering capacity in the first part of my post.

why is everyone complaining about the phoenix and want it replaced? phoenix are fucking awesome. they're viable in all matchups, are great anti air, extremely mobile and can be used for harass.

Ok kids, its obviously going to be a replacement for the warp prism. It will be able to drop and it will be like a medivac but instead of healing life it charges shields.

That, that's distinctive. If they got rid of the warp prism, it would be horrible.

Yes, and those look like ZERG buildings. Not @#$()@#()#$( PROTOSS BUILDINGS!!!! Blizzard's art design team is once again dropping the ball. Zerg and Protoss are too similar.



ppffffff

SC2 has no links at all to any command and conquer games. To suggest that someone on the design team has influence from anything in the command and conquer universe is just ridiculous conspiracy theorizing.

I dont think the void ray of phoenix need to be replaced. I want SC2, not WC3 so hopefully the mothership is replaced with an air spellcaster you can get more than one of. or a carrier buff would be nice too! protoss need a good tier 3 air unit.
surgical tossssss!

I don't even care if they borrow from other series. Keep zerg sharp and pointy and keep protoss round. Ugh.

It seems fairly obvious to me that it's a harass unit since bliz publicly stated that they would give a pure harass unit to protoss in HOTS.......

Calling it here first, its a mobile shield battery. Possible floats along the ground, not necessarily flying

It does seems like a flyer.

I don't know if I kinda like that path because P has already 3 flyers. I think gateway or robo type units needed more love imho.

Not really great anti-air though, can't stand up to much except mutas in low numbers (not gonna happen), dropships (marines be there), other phoenixes (don't count, every unit will do exactly the same against itself), and warp prisms (current state of PvP makes this not worth it in most standard games) and BL's assuming player is dumb and has no infestors/corrupters.

I hope this replaces the phoenix as a better (more versatile?) air harass unit. Phoenix harassment can be powerful but it requires a huge investment to get high numbers and are useless in battle when out of energy. Also it's essentially limited to picking off stray units and workers. They can't kill any buildings so while they can be effective, they are almost purely an econ harass unit except in huge numbers but even then are energy dependent. If this new unit can at least attack ground (damage would need to be tested of course) then that would be an improvement.
