Succubus/Succubi, Zerg Caster?

Haha but you forgot their ultimate: "I'm not in the mood"

 

oh yeah sorry

you cast it right before a spell or ability is about to be cast and it will nullify their effects...

so a yamato cannon is powering up, powering up, powering uppppppp....then the succubus casts "I'm not in the mood" and all the energy and build-up is dispersed and made useless

 

AHahahaha, yet another win, it are a fact, i know this because of my learnings xD

 

Yep, makes every unit useless against it. Even stops attacks from happening.

 

Lol Nikzad owerup:

i mean you get the succibus back after IT has infested a unit. but weakened so its not overkill.

 

where does the succubus go when it infests a unit? inside the unit? that doesn't make a whole lot of sense either. Unless it turns itself into pure energy like those zealots do when they want to run faster...

 

The zealot charge thing doesn't make a lot of sense on paper either. Well, unless they actually made it so lots don't take damage while charging.

 

why doesnt the charge make sense??

 

This from starcraft2.com:

"Some zealots have even developed the ability to turn their body into pure energy for a few microseconds. This allows them to move at lightning-fast speeds and strike suddenly against an enemy that thinks they are out of range."

Assuming that this is how they are explaining the charge ability, it would mean while under the effect zealots would have no mass because they dematerialized and turned into pure energy. How then could things like bullet fire hurt them at all?

If temporary invulnerability while charging was how Blizzard conceived it in the first place, then it would make sense. But otherwise, it's some really fancy pants story twinkling with fairy dust just to explain some good old sprinting.

 

well there not turning their whole body into pure energy because we can still see them.
the templar strive to become one with their psychic powers, high templar are like 60% energy at all times and archons are like 80% pure energy, so i dont think it is a fancy pants explanation

 

What you said about being visible makes no sense, and where did you get 60 and 80% from?

Blizzard says archons are "protected by an immense energy shield."  They also mention high templars abandoning their physical form in the process of becoming archons, but nowhere do they describe archons as "pure energy."  And certainly nothing even close for the high templars themselves.

If you think about it in StarWars terms, high templars are strong in the ways of the force.  But what they have for charge is like saying zealots are "nothing but the force."  It's stupid.

 

what i meant about visibility is that there physical form is still visible when they are charging....
i just used those numbers as an example, the way the high templar moves(hovers) with that blue trail, i always took to be a representation of the high templar being part energy.

 

I much rather they gave us something more plausible.

Like, zealot focus all of his psi power and dump it all into his physical body to forcefully pump it into overdrive, kinda like being on crack. But they can't do this continuously due to the huge strain put on their body and psi.

Something like that would've been enough, they kind of over did it a bit.

 

Or they just sprint a bit. Y'know, speeding up the pace for a sec, or is that too mundane.. Pure energy is a bit cheesy and overdone.

 

Thats what I had assumed it was until they gave the explanation for it. I would have liked this much better too.

 

Who's the guy at Blizzard responsible for writing up all this crap?

The lore of SC this time around seem to be considerably more SUCKING!

 

Maybe (hopefully) they will take it out and make something more feasible for an explanation.

 

Back on topic, with debate on infested terrans and the concept of infesting for the zerg going around, I actually think this unit idea would satisfy a lot of people who want both. The name succubus was obviously made up, but the idea might not have been since it was stated that blizzard mentioned something like this. So a unit with such infesting abilities may be included for the zerg, to me it sounds like a good solution for a hard problem.

 

sounds good hopefully blizzard will get it right and balanced

 

they are basically infested ghosts like kerrigan, so not 100% zerg yet
