    I voted for Queen cause it'll be very interesting with the Queen being able to protect various bases quickly. Nullifier because it's a very unique unit and Nighthawk cause of its new casting abilities.

    The classic Templarai!

    None of the other casters seem interesting to me.

    HT. Everything else brings to mind the phrase "if it ain't broken, don't fix it."

    I'm kinda liking how the Ghost is becoming more useful then a unused nuker.

    I used to say queen, but the infestor got cooler (Fungal Infestation ftw!) while queens lost their purpose.

    I voted high templar for protoss, but the nullifier is also so cool. (Force Field makes me drool with envy.) Basically, I chose the better looking unit (I generally prefer infantry to ... weird things.)

    For terrans I voted nighthawk. I don't see ghosts as spellcasters, and I'm upset that cool snipe was replaced by lame psi bullet.

    I chose Infestor for its ability to move while burrow and infect buildings
    Nullifier for a powerful dmg (from what i saw in the gameplay) and force field for choke/blockage
    Nighthawk for detection and auto turret.

    powerful damage? i havent seen a video where the Nullifier uses its MD ability. besides that it has a little attack.

    as for the Infester, it doesnt infect buildings anymore, it just lays 5 or so eggs and in a few seconds they spawn into Infested Marines.

    I voted for the infester, nulifier, and nighthawk. IMO, infester is more useful than the queen. The nulifier seems to be the most interesting atm, and the nighthawk because I felt like it :D
     
  11. Nighthawk; because of the name :)

    Does anyone know where i can find a site that lists the current abilities for each unit? I'm not sure what the abilities are for about half the units I listed. :/

    yeah, SC2Armory has kinda been slowly left behind. and SC2 Scource has been left behind, i might have to drop them as sources and rely on Wiki, which i dont want to do, because i hate Wiki. but i seems i have no other choices. but me thinks ill wait and see if SC2Armory will get back up speed or not for the Admin. seems to be having trouble finding the free time to pay attention to his site.

    yes, i agree that Wiki is very good place for information for most people, but i still hate it because almost every time in the past i used Wiki to get some sort of info, they dont have it. <.<. but it seems that their SC2 info on almost eveything is up to date, i can find a few flaws, but only if i really look for them.

    Its kind of hard to rate casters seeing as they constantly seem to shift their spell lists around. However, the ones that stand out to me are the Nighthawk and the Nullifier. The Nighthawk's turret building perfectly fits the Terran way of doing things, much like the Ghost was previously the only caster that had an attack.

    However, the Nullifier is cooler yet, simply because it is the only caster available in the first Tier, which given the fast pace of Starcraft games, means that it is far more liable to make an appearance than the others, especially since it has a decent attack of its own.

    I know, I was wondering what people though of the casters at thier current build. Sadly, there is no way to allow ppl to edit thier own votes in this forum programming, else I would have enabled it so people could.
