    The dark templar is already a pretty well rounded unit so any new ability needs whether its the dar templar losing its cloak for a second or it is undable to attack for X number of seconds ot needs something to balance whats added. Here is another idea similar to what Hillz said ealier. How about the dark templar gains a 50%+ chance to avoid any attack coming its way but the dark templar cant attack while the ability is active?

    How about this.
    Follower of Shadows: The Dark Templar moves with incredible speed(50% more) underneath terrain objects with shadows or that hide units.(Such as trees, bushes, grass, ect.) Note* Attack speed does not change, only, the speed at which the Dark Templar moves.
    Simple and not too strong. I came upon this idea when reading about how the Dark Templar perform a ritual on which DT call The Shadow Walk. In this aspiring Dark Templar to walk down an Alley and try to not get decapitated by other DT if they made it out they became a DT. So I thought why not have it so DT's can move faster in Shadows since I imagine it would require speed in the shadows to dodge DT attacks.

    what happened to the whole "some units will not have an ability that you have to activate" thing?
    Dark Templar doesn't need an activatable ability or anything else.
    Permanent cloak was it's cool thing in starcraft and it's STILL cool.

    I meant the Follower of Shadows ability to be a passive upgrade similar to that of Zlots in the SC1. And 50% was just a number I threw out there nothing special with it.

    no to the first one beacuse:
    1.it won,t be a ability who would fith whit the dark templars, they dont need it.
    yes and no to the second one:

    yes:
    it is dark templarish, it is almost oligatoric for them to have something like that

    no:
    1. it is to simular to the ghost sniper ability
    2. why do they need that when they already couses lots of damange in normal attacks.

    the ideas are good :good: .

    but it would be to many abilitys.
    the high templar is the mental one.
    the dark templar are the physicale one.

    Shadow, please specify the ideas which you are referring to... you're just tossing out numbers and explanations to those numbers. Lol
