I made a version of my own of the original image, maybe we can see it better.

To me the design is pretty boring, and I am sad about that.

I hope its capable of harassing ground units sufficiently...

What about the mothership? not viable
IMO they should remove this from the game

Pheonix...



Pheonix is a harass unit (that ceases to function as a harass unit once they lay down static defenses that cost a fraction of what the pheonix' cost.

Pheonix is not a spell caster

Do you consider marines (stim) marauders (concuss/stim) to be spellcasters too?


Do you really now compare marines with Phönix? MM cast for themselves the phönix cast his spell to an enemy unit .. so yes one could say it´s a spellcaster


Anyone care to help me out on this little disagreement?

What do you think more aptly describes the roll of the pheonix in SC2:

Poll: Pheonix Role

Harass Unit (44)
 
90%

Spell Caster (5)
 
10%

49 total votes

Your vote: Pheonix Role

(Vote): Spell Caster
(Vote): Harass Unit



+ Show Spoiler +

While the pheonix does have a spell, I consider its roll to be for harassment. It certainly does not have the "Spellcaster" role that a Raven, Infestor, or HT have.

For example, just because medivacs can heal, or banshees can cloak doesnt classify them them as spellcasters.

Medivac would be more appropriately classified as support/transport and banshee is harass.



Woh, man! stop right there--the Phoenix is, as blizz says: 'An air-superiority fighter' which means that it's main function is control of the skies. it takes too many of them to really effectively harass. Not the same as harassing with Mutas, or Banshee/hellion/marine drops.

Also, not really a spellcaster, either. sure, it has a function, but blizz gave that skill so that the phoenix would actually be built. Could you imagine if the phoenix couldn't lift units? Who would use it?!


It takes too many of them to effectively control the skies too though, especially for their cost. That the Phoenix couldn't actually move while shooting initially leads me to think Blizzard don't really know what to do with it.

Replacing the Phoenix.
keeps the bonus dmg vs light and crappy dmg vs armored, but it's AOE now.
has a harass ability that let's the unit warp in bombs to drop down below, dealing aoe dmg quite like baneling bombs.

Not going to talk about number ^.^
could be anything, maybe it will be slow as fûck or it cant shoot while moving anymore or both or it has to stand still while casting its bombs or extremely low hp or whatever.
so many thing to change.

Like a transporter? What's the point? We have it.
Like a recall? What's the point? We have it.

they said in multiple interviews they want a harrass based protoss unit. it looks like it will be in the skies! i wonder if it will replace an exisiting stargate unit that's the real question. You can bet your ass it's harrass based.

this might not be the only protoss unit they add into the game, so it might not be a harras unit and the other unit they make will be a harrasment unit.

Only thing I know is that the lightning attack will have a chain reaction and jump to multiple close units. Thats what will make it a hurass, it will attack worker lines much like a hellion. U mad Terran/Zerg?
