    Starcraft-Source and SC2Armoy.

    They're both affiliates of ours and there's nothing wrong with them. In fact, their views are PROBABLY more up to date than mine, but I just don't trust it yet.

    Nothing know in Jons build (american build), in some builds it had an abillity called Power Owhervelming, which gave it +20 splash damage.

    The only archon that had abilities was the dark archon, so they made add an ability because a HT and DT can now fuse, but its only a theory.

    Doesn't really need any abilities, an Archon is raw power.

    BUT. One thing I find messed up which doesn't match up with the lore is the 10hp. The shields are Protoss technology and they help a unit survive in combat.
    So why would an Archon which is supposed to be the ultimate power have 10hp? Without shields it would get handed to by a single Marine.

    The shields can be damaged, but the Archons "pis" cant (you know whats around it)?
    And then the 10hp are the only "human" or "protoss" left behind when the fusion?

    I didn't find a better topic to ask this, but can anyone link a video of Zerg Gameplay where the players were not so obcessed in rushing and wining, so we can see some new units in action? I can only see Marines, Zealots and Zerglings (a few banelings) in the multiplayer games I saw. Id didn't see a single roach in action... Does someone have a link to such a video? ;)

    Well.. unfortunately we were not allowed to take video, and it seems the pro players are more interested in being stuck at the lower tiers because the balances aren't perfect.

    They're so used to being able to counter everything with everything that when they saw a new game they were reluctant to use tech instead.

    You can't really blame them, but then again, you can. :D
