Goodbye beloved Templars

Now with the new snipe ability for the Terran ghosts the only way a templar will be safe is if he´s carried by a dropship. This means Terran are going to have a very easy way to deal with templars. I really love that because Terran are my favorite. Now I´ll feel truly safe against those psionic storms. Do you guys agree?

 

No, high templars were already vulnerable and high-priority targets in the first game due to their slow speed and their psi storm. I usually carried them around in shuttles anyway so my army could actually move. It's not going to change much.

 

I don't think it's going to effect it much. It's the same as having the Queen around to broodling it. It's awfully tough to do, but it can be done. Plus players usually keep a multitude of them around. It's better to just generally attack them rather than to concentrate your spells on them.

 

Just generally attack them means that a lot of your units will feel the pain of Psi Storms.
C´mon, cloaked ghosts will be able to kill HT even protected by zealots-colossus-stalkers-DT-whatever nondectetor unit..

 

Many units are able to dodge or at least get out of psi storms before they sustain heavy damage, and consequently, they are good at killing high templar. And most good players have detectors with their armies at all times, so it may not be all that good.

 

Yes, ghosts have the ability to cloak and pick off High templars. But don't forget that a decent Protoss player will always carry some observers with them. If you keep your Templars at the back, Ghosts are going to have a hard time sniping them because they are going to get hammered by the Protoss army before they get to them.

 

They should bring back hallucination just to make fake HiTemps for ghosts to snipe off and have a good laugh.

While I do think that snipe would be useful in picking off HiTemps, it is true as others have stated that anyone going against Protoss already take psi storms into account, and Protoss players already know that HiTemps are high priority targets. But nonetheless, ghosts would be much more useful all-around SC2 than before.

 

Yes! Sir Remy, you have a point there, while the Ghost is laughing and he say's "hahaha Templar you will die in one shot" and once he shoot him, its gone like a bubble, hahaha, he will say "what the"
hahaha funny, anyway i really loved to use hallucination to distruct my enemy in short fake attack

PEACE

 

eh, i though hallu was pretty useless. u can chose to spend 75 for doing a lot of damage or u can spend 100 for having a chance of having ur units not being attacked... i'd chose psi storm.

 

Sometimes its required for an attack to work where Psi Storm won't reach.

What's the best way to get through a wall of turrets with 8 Carriers? Hallucinate until you have 20.

 

It would be great for the hallucination that the hallucination, or copy of the unit, is invulnerable ! I mean that when you copy a unit, you send this copy to the enemy, your copy will die after a few seconds. But as it is an hallucination I thought that they had to let the copy alive during a certain time, not to let it vulnerable against attacks.

To summerize : make an hallucination and send your hallucination. For instance this can live 30 seconds, so even if enemies attack it it is still "alive", and disappear after 30 seconds. In SC1, the hallucination dies after some attacks, like a normal unit.

 

Ummm... I only brought up hallucination as a "funny thought." I didn't actually mean that I really want that spell back.

 

o, sorry lol. hard to read sarcasm on the interwebs.

btw, anyone ever see a hallu'd dt? it's basicly an uncloaked dt, and he looks bad asss.

 

got a pic?

 

well now hallucination should be brought back or at least give the Templar some sort of defense.

He's slow, weak, and basically can't deal with threats except mutually assured death. Defination of "Glass Cannon" right there.

 

Halucination used to be on the star relic so maybe it has been moved to the stasis orb. I myself hope for the star relic back since it looked so cool and had good abilities

 

Yea, I think they should just undo all the BlizzCon changes to Protoss and balance from there. Stasis orb feels like it's utter crap when compared to the star relic.

 

I think they made the stasis orb because people on BNet complained about lock and the fact that they wanted it to move while cloaked. Instead of making a sleeker ship they just removed it and gave cloak to the MS which is another thing they overreacted on. They seem to be making drastic of changes though they might just be trying to gauge what everyone likes showing the extremes and seeing which way the fans go before making a final decision

 

I don't think making balance changes based on feedback on the b-net forums is EVER a good idea.

 

I agree with Remy. For the most part those posters are people who have come on b.net for a very limited amount of time or aren't very knowledgeable about the balance issues in games.

Or they're just plain making it up. That's a reason that I use these forums instead. :-D
