What is your favorite new Protoss unit?

Especially considering how vulnerable the carriers were against battlecruisers in 1. Warp rays would provide a nice anti-ship escort for the tempests this time around.

 

The Tempest looks the most Swiftess for an air craft and its got a protoss feeling to it. Unlike the carrier, the carrier looks like a blimp.

 

But... blimps of unmatched massed destruction!!!!

 

er actually battlecruisers beat carriers so carriers don't have unmatched massed destruction

 

Voted for Tempest.
I just love the new looks for the Tempest.

Stalkers comes in a close second follow by the Mothership.

 

Pheonix, it just looks so sweet. an the overcharge.

Although I cant wait to see those korean players microing with the stalker.

 

I like the Stalker. I mean, it's a Dark Templar's soul inside of a robot!! How could you not like it!?

 

yay the phase prism and warp ray got 1 vote each!

 

how could phase prism possibly be a favorite, it doesn't even attack

 

Maybe someone that relies on sneak tactics and/or phas cannon massing loves the fact that he now has a flying pylon and can teleport units into an enemies base one at a time unlike recall.

 

c'mon! how is pheonix doing so bad? that thing looks pwnage! it also does a decent wallop.

 

Stalker is losing to Colossus?!?! Mothership is in 3rd?!?! Immortal only has 1 vote?!?! Soul Hunter even HAS a vote?!?! This is madness!! My topic is going in an entirely different direction i thought it would 

 

i love tempest. it realy falls in with the dark templar theme. and its has awesome interceptors. And it looks faster then Carrier.

 

they're called "interceptors" so far as we know, not "intersectors"

 

fixed

 

...madness??...
THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!

anywho, yea i think it's weird some of my faves (peonix, twilight archon) are so bad.

 

I voted for Phase Prism. I can see vast new abilities coming from it.
It doesn't have to just be a teleport in location:
I was thinking of loading four lots and two stalkers/immortals (I'll work this decision out later, perhaps even one of each) into each of two or three Phase Prisms, and then deploying those units as a forward screen while the Prisms turned into pylon mode and I either warped in more reinforcements or I dropped out a probe (replaced one of the Zealots if I went this way) and built a forward outpost of Cannons.

Many people have complained that it takes units a while to summon, but that's what the forward screen of lots and goons would be for: stalling.

 

can't u send in some phase cannons?

 

ummm... flaw in that, zealots and stalkers(most likely) take up 2 slots, so in a 8-space transport you could go 4 lots or 2 lots 2 stalkers.

 

Excellent point. So my strategy would be revised backwards by 1/2, meaning I would simply have to combine both strategies: bring a probe or two, but also summon in additional reinforcements.
