Dark Archons making a return?

I really miss them !

Hopefully they do not take them out its one of my favorite unit in protoss.

 

Re: Are they gonna put back the dark archons ?

mind control, one of my fave skills when im fighing against computer opponents while im using cheat. lol

i dont use it on real games and campaign tho.

yes i hope they will be back with new useful abilities or maybe just give the mind control to the high templars in starcraft 2 etc. the mind control should be useful in real games so it must be enhance say it will be AOE and 2 to 3 will be mind controled at the same time in one casting.

 

Re: Are they gonna put back the dark archons ?

They might merge its abilities into the twilight archon

 

Re: Are they gonna put back the dark archons ?

I don't see the need for bringing them back.
Use High Templar Stasis barrier to fence the enemy into one spot and unleash some Psi Storms. Bye bye Maelstrom.
Feedback was a meh ability, or atleast it was to me.
Mind Control was meh too. Maybe for Medics to heal Zealots, Siege Tanks, or whatever but if you have enough time to tech up a 2nd race then you
A) Have a bad opponent
B) Are playing a computer
C) Are on a Fastest Possible Map, and we all know those suck.

 

Re: Are they gonna put back the dark archons ?

twilight archon will have mind control? cool. but i prefer the high templar to have mind control.

so you can actually attack anything on the barrier shields? even a psi storm will hurt anyone on the barrier? sound imba to me. yah mind control is useless thats why i suggested that if they keep mind control it should be AOE.

mind controls are useful in fastest possible map? i always fastest possible map and the enemy send waves of units after another. i dont see the use of mind control here. care to explain? give me idea so that i will use them effectively cause i always play on fastest possible map.

*edit* sorry i got it. make a 2nd race. hhmm. kinda hard tho.

 

feedback was the answer to BCs!

 

yea feedback was very useful... I use a lot when I have a chance to make dark archons cause for only 75 energy, you can heavily damage or kill a unit in an instant.

 

what i think would be cool is if the TA could MC. It would make the TA useless though, because it would have no shields.

 

Dark archons wont be in the game. For those of you who think theyre so cool looking the tarchons look about the same just not red, which didnt make sense by the way, as all other psionic energy was blue.Twilight archons are composed of 2ht 2dt or one of each. I dont know what combination of units you want to make a dark archon, maybye a dt and stalker archon with multiple l3egs and telaportation abilities that looks like the soul hunter that would be awsome! i hope they bring back the soulhunter in some way it was just so uber cool looking (like a boogieboarder with a unrealistically large gun). Feedback was the most useful and underrated dark archon ability, good at one-hitting medics and high templar.

 

What the heck are you talking about Major Willy, DA's were great things. Maelstorm vs Zerg is the best. Maelstorm PsiStorm was one of the nastiest combos you can pull since you can STILL attack them. Mind control was better vs Bigger more costly things like carriers or bcs. Feedback vs ANY caster would own them hard if they had a lot of energy, so I really don't understand you.

 

Yup, Feedback either killed/heavily damaged BCs, Science Vessels, Ghosts, Medics, Wraiths, Queens... the list goes on and on.

Anyways, if mind control is still in the game, I'd imagine it would be a Star Relic ability now.

isnt mc the ultimate weapon of DA ?

 

Maelstorm PsiStorm wish they are still back

 

i remember reading something thats says they got repalced...cant remeber the dang site

 

They've been replaced by the Twillight Archon. Since it used to take 2 DT to make 1 DA, and now it take 2 DT to make one TA, it would probably mean the TA replaces the DA.

 

It should be like this: HT+HT=A
DT+DT=DA
HT+DT=TA

(Good job if you understand that)

 

They've already been scrapped Slug.

And having 3 different Archons would drive every non Protoss player nuts. Or the player him/herself. Sitting there by your Gateways making Archons for 10 minutes.

 

i dont like the idea of having only one archon, but as long as its really powerfull as it should be, i dont care, oh and i really hope that the mind controll ability is coming back!

 

I can think of one good use for having only one Archon: no matter which structure you build first, Dark Obelisk or "High templar-required-structure-4got the name", you'll still have the stability of having a fighting Archon if the need arises, in either case. But I'm also pro-3 archons returning.

 

but ihope dark archon will be back in starcraft2 ,, why because of their mind control you can able to control the two races zerg and terran...
