Hahaha Rest assured I don't think they'll make THAT much of a drastic change on a core unit like that. | ||

Hopefully the game will become as balanced as wings of liberty has became Wings of Liberty was pretty im-balanced and has come very far since it's release in terms of balance the same will be done with HoTs and just like DB(dustin browder said) if they feel it's to im-balanced they won't release it and will continue working on such until it's ready for launch. | ||

Blizzard said they are taking balance very seriously with the expansion since they realize peoples' careers depend on balance! | ||

Meaning yes, you can give your Nexus full energy to chronoboost. From my personal opinion, this ability will need so heavy nerfage/removal because that's just absurd. I played all 3 races during the trial period, and I have to say so far P>Z>T is what I'm expecting. The mines seem okay (haven't checked there splash when exploding), but the detonation takes forever and is easily visible (though I'm not sure if the enemy will see the flashing red?). Anyone with good control will be able to isolate said ground units, though perhaps it is quite useful when dealing with strong units like Ultralisks. The warhound really does not seem to add much to TvZ, and I'm holding my breath for it's use in TvP. It seems it will really only affect TvT when playing against mech players. Glad they kept the Thor, Terran can still find it quite useful in many cases. On another note, Zerg T3 just got even more insane... Those ?vipers? gain energy by stealing life from your own structures, and can cast 10 second clouds that heavily reduces ranged units range to like 1-2?. Either way, from my perspective Protoss will be the strongest if they do not change things from what I currently played. That energy giving spell realllllyyyy affects a LOT of timing attacks in particular. | ||

It would severely cripple the spell usage. Of course, I wouldn't like losing my Cruisers to your abduct but I am sure I'll find ways to emp or snipe your psionic disgusting snake things before they could do me harm. But I am no flash I am pretty sure my shit will die pretty pathetically horribly. | ||

What you do is 2x Toss and Core Orgy the energy give (can you?) and then use the now 2 fully powered core to recover more energy on other stuff. | ||
