Protoss can already be really defensive with what they have. If what someone posted earlier is correct then they are very weak and would likely only see use in fighting off cheese and are relatively worthless by themselves. "The new nexus defensive ability seems to be decent for super early game, not much else. Basically you can cast it on any of your structures and it gives it a weak attack. Artosis built a pylon in my mineral line and cast the new spell on it. My SCVs killed it and it only managed to take one SCV to 5 health." | ||

What exactly would you do with recall at the 7 minute mark? Recall your 5 stalkers? I think it would be fine if it would be available all the time, no need to force protoss into a certain tech direction to make use of it. It forces the Toss to decide between chronoboost and saving for recall, so they have to actually select the right nexus if they want to CB to not accidently have the main nexus without energy when the drop arrives. I also like the "anti-light gun" spell, it allows protoss to save energy early on and then defend against 6/7 pool without having to get a forge or play more risky and CB probes. | ||

That means you can simply build an extra nexus somewhere in your base and stock the energy up without having to stop making probes/spend gas like the mothership required. Nexus is effectively 300 minerals because they supply you with 1 pylon worth  | ||

I'm sure things will change by release anyways, anyone else remember the soul surfer (hunter) from P? We all remember how long that lasted. ![[image loading]](http://www.sc2blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/sh1.jpg) | ||

Yea, I guess it was basically a nexus-spell before to the extent that you had to produce the mothership out of the nexus to get access to recall. I wonder how the spell is unlocked...I'm assuming the fleet beacon. | ||

Confirmed: Mothership. Carrier. Overseer. Dunno: Thor? Broodlord? Marauder? Hope to see some information about Terran after all. All I see is Protoss and Zerg stuff  | ||
