Cyclone (throwing things in the air) got moved from the Nullifier to the Phoenix. This might not be completely up to date but it's the last I've heard! | ||

Force Field Acquisition Usage Energy Energy 30[2] Researched at Already researched[22] Duration Creates an invincible "globe" over a small area that lasts 15 seconds that blocks the movement of ground units and melee attacks. Units caught under the shield when it is placed may escape. The colossus may step over the shield.[9] Force Fields can create artificial choke points to channel enemies. This is particularly potent against melee attackers such as zerglings, since some might not be able to reach the protoss forces.[10] Force Fields can create walls, which stalkers can blink across, attacking enemies from relative safety.[10] The render of the Force Field has been redesigned to resemble Stasis field of the Arbiter.[13] While Anti-Gravity removes chokes, Force Field excels at creating them.[23] | ||

But what do I know, it all depends on how it's balanced. | ||

There was a guy in the arby who channeled his psi through the machine to cast spells right? Are we supposed to believe that there is some overseer judicator guy who is controlling these robots and able to channel his psi from great distance into them? | ||

Imo it should just be stasis field, much easier. The SC2 spell is distinct from WC3 cyclone, though. Can be cast on buildings, lets units pass under the unit it's cast on, and units it's cast on can be attacked by air(this is major.) You can't just replace the effect with stasis like you would be able to do with a copy of WC3 cyclone. Besides, cyclone is only such a visual barrier because of the massive wind effect that's a huge pain to see through, as long as they make sure the effect for anti-grav is simpler and doesn't obstruct stuff behind it it'll be fine. | ||

This creates a temporary wall/block that units cannot pass. I assume you cannot cast it on top of units and must be casted before they get to the target land. | ||

Whatever happens to be under it will automatically move out of the way, kinda like a castable worker drill. Hmm, that could be pretty exploitive imo. Chain displacing, pretty much free hits on units, break any wall, create any wall, etc. | ||

Can we place a forcefield over our own stalkers and have them shoot at stuff like zerglings that can't move under the field? Can we place a forcefield over our cannons so that they can't be reached by ling + swarm? | ||

I really really doubt that. I was thinking that Force Field was actually a rather recent spell (2008 at the earliest) and so I did a little searching through the pictures at IGN. Turns out, the earliest picture of Force Field I could find was June 2008 -_- I think you are talking about the Mothership's old ability Time bomb | ||

Maybe its more like technological thing rather than a magic spell, Like corsairs web thing. Think of it as them making some forced field by manipulating matter around a certain spot with its antimatter leetness machine in order to make an area impassible for a short amount of time. | ||

The psi blades are protoss psionic powers being amplified and focussed by a wrist device etc. It's a fusion of mechanical and magic. The answer to the robotic mystery. Well by the looks on these, Protoss seems to have the best support spell casters in game like in Brood War (or am the only one thinking of that) I hope Terran still has enough firepower like before and Zerg is still has gazillions of units to produce. | ||

Corsair is just like arby, there is a guy inside channeling the energy. with the other robots, obs, probe, reaver, shuttle, interceptor, scarab - none of these have psi power and there are no protoss controlling them. Dragoon is half robot, still no psi power anyways. The nullifier is a small robot like the probe so no way a protoss could fit inside (unless it was dead protoss brain alone or a judicator was RCing it from far somehow, both of these sound really dumb imo). Robots don't have psi power so why does the nulli get it all the sudden? | ||

They no longer attack ground though, so it's like a corsair with the added ability to attack ground units one at a time, with added usefulness as a support unit for ground armies. | ||

Lol ok, so there is just a room full of protoss tech support ready to remote control these nullifiers all over the galaxy 100s/1000s of light years away? | ||

That kind of logic doesn't necessarily work with the Protoss. I mean, come on. Terran has a nuclear warhead and a tank that shoots really fucking far. Following that line of reasoning, you'd expect the Protoss to have something that outclass both by FAR, but nope.. | ||
