the only thing i really hate is the oracle stop mining thing atm. There should be nothing that does that at all, and it seems impossible to balance (not enough time = not worth it or enough time = OP). Also just imagine if it wasn't limited to only 1 or something? just spam all day and not allow any mining, and if only 1 just stop mining on one patch or whole field..honestly idk just seems stupid that a unit has that ability.

replica=banshee from wc3?


hopefully more viable


Banshee was viable, one of the strongest undead units come to think of it. It was due to "Curse" however, not the last skill.

Anyhow, the new protoss guy doesn't seem to steal units, only copy em.

the new "Dark Swarm" sounds more like a Guardian Shield tbh

I didn't like them at first, but they're growing on me. I need to see them in action. I think some of the abilities might be broken but that was typical in alpha WoL as well. We will see them improve as we go into beta. I just hope they remove FFs.
all's fair in love and melodies

Hmmm the oracle looks like an upgraded form of a stalker?

Maybe this is how blizzard is giving protoss earlier scouting options? Scouting options without going robo?

I never thought Blizzard would give us Dark Swarm, but they actually realized how great of a spell DS is for esport and for spectators. It turn the game to overdrive mode when reached, and this is great since this gear has been lacking in Star2.

It is such a natural spell for a melee based race that one wonder why they didn't have it from start. Fungal + Dark Swarm...
"It is really good to get the double observatory if you want to get the speed and sight range for the observer simultaneously. It's a little bit of an advanced tactic, and by advanced, I mean really fucking bad."

This guy says he played a game with artosis using these units and describes them.

Might want to note the burrow movement banelings!

Ehm, so theoretically a few dark swarms over some swarm hosts while infestors fungal any melee units trying get close should be pretty good yes?

Blizzard can't leave both the infestor and the viper, it would be ridiculous.


it's more of not having both fungal and dark swarms.

if you want fungal to stay, then the whole immobilizing shit needs to go

Fungal will probably do sustained damage now if the infestor stays. But in my opinion that seems like too many spellcaster for an armer (newlurker + viper + infestor = a lot of gas probably) so I don't see the infestor staying in the game.

Can't wait to see these new units in a BETA. Glad they're not fucking bringing back all the old BW units like all so many twats here are whining about. This is SC2 not SC. Go play BW if you want those units. I for one actually want NEW stuff, not the same shit recycled over and over.

So to sum up the new units:

Zerg:
Flying defiler
Lurker that shoots broodlings

Protoss:
Permanent changelings
New unit
Protoss battlecruiser

Terran:
Goliath
Firebat
New unit

I guess terran got the most boring units now ~_~ // Cant wait to see them in action,

I reallllly hope the oracle does not replace observer. I prefer having cloaking over what is basically contamination.

Damn, I LOVE the new zerg units. The Viper is a kind of flying defiler with dark swarm, and some kind of pulling ability (It kinda reminds me of the grip spells in WoW). And the swarm host kinda feels like the lurker... just a bit different. But I like the idea.

Quite like the look of all of this stuff actually. Should make things a lot more interesting once everything's somewhat balanced out!
