Soul Hunter

Looks like a fast unit with high damage (look how fast that group kills the reapers and the turrets) but low stamina (get wacked pretty easily by the reapers) unit. My question now is, we got: zealot, immortal, stalker, high templar, twilight archon, probably dark templar too (read the theories about the twilight archon), collusus and now the Soul Hunter. Thats quite alot already, can we conclude that the reaver is not coming back?

EDIT: Reaver is in the movie too... damn! Thats alot of new units, as I hoped the unit roster got beefed up good

 

But

But you can see a reaver in the final scene.

 

Exactly. At least, it looks like a Reaver.



I'm giddy. I wanna see the leaked vid for Zerg and Terran!!!

 

Is ther one? or do you want one to come out?

 

I want one....There isn't one....






Yet.

 

You had me going for a second, any thoughts on why the toss where the first to be released to the public?

 

Koreans use protoss, and blizzard doesnt care about anyone else(kidding)

I know i stated it somewhere else, but soul hunters look exactly like my mech form armored core 3:LR

to those of you who are not familiar with armored core, get off your lazy buts, find a PS2/3 /xbox 360 and an armored core game. Its basically like gran turismo, but with giant robots, machine guns and a total lack of racing.

 

meh they look exactly like an AC on hover body which dosnt fit well imo

 

no, AC on hover body is what i had, because theres one with crappy shell defense but high maneuverability and energy defense, as well as good weight load.

It also has a partical laser on the right arm, a shield (or blade) on the left and thats all i can remember.

 

It looks really overpowered, it moves fast and seems to do way too much damage! Then again, you cant expect like 5 marines to destroy a unit that probably comes out mid game. WE JUST NEED TO SEE WHAT THE TERRAN AND ZERG WILL HAVE!

 

Zealots riding surfboards? With lightning looking beams?

See how fast they took out buildings!?!

What are these things?

They look like protoss versions of seige tanks + vultures or something.

also, where is the reavers on that vid?

 

They remind of Scorpinok from Beast Wars

It looks like Scorpinok riding one of those hovering platforms that the Predacons had in their base since it was half-submerged in lava and they couldn't walk anywhere

I don't know if I like the color/animation for their attack; it reminds me of soul-steal from DotA or the plasma rifle's secondary fire capability from Unreal Tournament

 

True, but they were also taken out very fast, like I said, its probably a high damage/low stamina unit.

Twilight Archon part hes above middel and goes down to the middle.

 

As I have said b4, as DT's seem to be taking over the toss, there will be many more units with that same dmg-hp ratio.

 

Hover... boards... *drools*
~Pix~

 

Huh? An air conditioner on a hoverboard? What are you talking about?

Someone else said that the soul hunters do more damage if more of them are firing at the same target. Look at the sould hunters that attack the Refinery; only a couple of them are firing, and the beam is pathetic. The command center, on the other hand, is not so lucky...

 

Lol on the AC joke.

Could be, but nearly every unit does more dmg if there are many of them.

 

Man! Not linear!

Example;
Normally: 2 units do double the damage that 1 unit does
Soul hunter: 2 units do triple the damage that 1 unit does
(just an example)

 

OMG That would be cool, Coal!

Think about this though, what if their damage and hp were on scales, the more of them they do more damage and have less hp, the less of them they do less damage but have more hp!?!

 

Problem there would be how they would decide "more" or "less".
Would "more" be equal to as many of them selected, or would it be proximity?
I think scaling would be a can of worms. just having a non-linear increase in damage, based off of how many are targeting a specific unit, is simplest.
