hmmm, thinking about the new unit makes me wonder what is missing in the protoss race?

already in the game for protoss:

good scout? check. (observer)
early game melee/tank? check. (zealot)
lategame melee/tank? check. (archon, immortal)
ground harras? check. (DTs and all kinds of unit warp-ins via proxy pylon or prism)
air harras? check. (phoenix, voidray)
heavy air? check. (voidray, carrier)
ranged ground? check. (stalker, sentry)
siege unit? check. (colossus)
anti caster? check. (HT, Feedback)
aoe caster? check. (HT, Storm)
mobility support? check. (warp prism)
army support? check. (mothership, sentry)

this leaves me with absolutly no clue about the role of this new unit, but I doubt it`s a simple DPS unit. It looks like a flyer though.

Pretty sure Blizz already stated protoss lacks in the ground harass department (i tihnk the word the used was that protoss lacked "raiding" possibilities), that is a fast somewhat disposable ground unit that is good for killing workers, think zergling/reaper/hellion The problem with zealot/stalker warpins is that they require a prism and neither stalkers nor zealots are that good at killing workers, zealots can be ran away from and stalkers dont have the dps. And they arent as disposable as marines or zerglings.

This might or might not be a unit filling that role, but Im pretty sure Protoss will get some kind of buff/change in that area.

Feels to me like an air unit with an chargeable type attack, due to all the electricity and its shape.


And probably it shoots Kamehamehas..

If only it would do, would be much cooler that the voidray.

Maybe a unit that doesn't suck versus Marauders or Roaches ;D

Stargate definatly, but i doubt it's a spellcaster since protoss has alot of them but idk. I doubt it is a harass unit aswell. Mabie a stargate unit that can do well vs hydras/marines.

Sadly, the company they outsource the CG cinematics to has a better grasp on the StarCraft look and feel than Blizzard themselves.

My guess is that the electricity in the middle can charge up and then you can shoot it ala reaver for air-ground harassment purposes.

I am hoping for a DPS air unit which attack chains to enemies within a certain range from the the target, thus requiring the opponent to micro (air splitting of sort) to reduce its effectiveness.

Could be an air spell caster, or some hover unit for early harass.

I think it's an air spellcaster support unit, which is something I thought would suit the protoss race quite nicely for a while.

This is definitely the best looking new unit, looks really cool. The zerg one is kinda cool too...the terran one looks terrible.

How about, it's a ground unit. Much like the sentry that has a big orb inside it's "wings". This orb can uncharge and heal other protoss units shields.

It looks like a flying unit. I was just recently talking to a friend of mine, saying that the new Protoss unit will probably be a flying unit since in my opinion Protoss' ground unit is pretty strong when compared to the flying units.
