What is your favorite new Protoss unit?

I'd say pheonix would win because of its overload and even without it, it had higher health and shields as of Blizzcon so the pheonix would win. But the vikings have higher damage than the pheonix.

 

Hmm, okay.. Didn't actually think that the terran main fighter would have a stronger basic attack than the protoss main fighter.. Well well, the shields and overload balances it out then.. Just gonna miss the days of the scout i guess

 

i beleive that the stalker is the coolest new unit all beacuase of its blinking xD

 

I like the stalkers to catch run away enemies i think it'll really piss people off which will be funny ;D

 

until you meet an another protoss and it will be more blinking than actuall battle, and you will be pissed of yourself

 

Well, no because Blink has a cooldown so it'll still be quite a bit of fighting.

 

I like Colossus, especially cuz I like to pwn zerglings, just like my name sayz.

 

stalker.

mass blink will change the way i do business : )

 

Now all we need it Tom Cruise and two little orphans who no one loves! Oh, the fun we shall have! Yeah, Colossus. And that Zergling movie was a Myth! THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Foams from the mouth*


- My life for the Swarm!

 

i vote for carrier.but i also like the collosus.

 

Definitely like the idea of units increasing their damage the longer the are firing at a single target. Give a nice couter to units like the Battlecruiser. and i also like the fact that while they can pwn high health units they are not feasible against small units like marines.

 

First time I saw the Mothership was the first time I wanted to play SC2 now!!!!

 

I felt that way with Colosus, it is so awsome. The first unit introduced in Starcraft that can walk on all terrain.

 

The colossus is the unit that got me so interested in this game. It looks awesome and is exactly like what I imagine the protoss tech would look like. And the ability to cross the cliffs makes it all the more fun to watch, and ultimately to use.

I'll have to wait and see if the ability to not attack air when they can attack it will be too big of a weakness.

 

That was what I said.

 

You'll be fine as it'll be escorted by enough Stalkers to repel the air attacks, don't forget phoenix also.

Stalker is my favourite as it looks cool, pretty fast and agile, attacks air and ground, nice damage, teleports, nice micro aspects.

I can't wait to use units like Stalkers, Reapers, Vikings etc in UMS games, the RPGs people create will be awesome.
Also the sniper games will be better since the ghost can actually snipe now DDD

 

I'd been thinking about that. Since they are all relatively close together (tech), it would be logical to get all the at the same time. The stalker and phoenix you would likely be able to produce first, with the colossus tech close behind. Also, since all three are produced at different buildings, you don't need to spam a single building to produce mass amounts of them.

 

Yup. But I wonder what the Collousus final damage will be, I've heard its at 144 which is similar to the Reavers attack. But the Reaver was mad slow and an easy target, also the Collosus's attack is faster sweeping through units so I'm wondering if like 5-6 took your mineral section by suprise would it be all over cuz their attack would obviously tear through the workers then the joint damage of 144 on a command building would own it, then you've practically lost unless you have enough mins and morale.

 

I never understood that, 144 damage altogether in one sweep? Or 144 damage for a time. And if a thor is too bit to come out of a factory, shouldn't a colosus's robotics facility portal be as tall as the statue of liberty?

 

I lol'd

It would make sense if it was made from a very tall building, but I don't see that happening. As for the colossus's damage, I understood it to be 144 damage per attack. This means that 144 damage total is done from the entire sweep. After that, the beam ends and it attacks again.
