Poll: Which one is the best caster so far???
So this is it.
THE poll. So I ask, at the current state of the game, which one is the best "spellcaster" so far. To specify what i mean by "BEST", lets say that its a combination of fun factor, visuals, sinergy with other units, usefulness and balance... But on the other hand, u could have a different definition for Best, so I'll let u decide.
Raven: Hunter Seeker missile, Point defense drone, AutoTurret.
Ghost: EMP, Snipe, Cloak, Nuke.
Infestor: Neural parasite, Fungal growth, Spawn Infested Terran, Burrow.
Queen: Transfusion, Spawn creep tumor, Spawn larva.
High Templar: Feedback, Psi Storm, Archon Meld.
Sentry: Halucination, Force Field, Guardian Shield.
Mothership: Vortex, Mass Recall, Cloak Field.
Feel free to tell us why u made ur decision.

Re: Poll: Which one is the best caster so far???
Well so far from the vids that I've seen, the sentry stands out the most mainly of its force field & guardian shield usage, I haven't really seen anyone using hallucination though.
Infestor is the worst because no one uses them competitively ==

Gven enough time and energy, Raven seems to be one man army. It can deploy ''minions'', defend itself from projectiles, or deal pretty high damage with Seeker Missiles.
Not for a serious play of course, but I would love to spam Ravens and use some for turrets, some for drones, and some for direct damage lol

Re: Poll: Which one is the best caster so far???
I base mine off of useful spells and cost-effectiveness. It was pretty close for me between the Ghost and Sentry. Possibly for personal bias. But the overall winner, is the Ghost. He has the least amount of useless spells (like, none). The Sentry only lost because of Hallucination. It's a nice spell and all, but it's energy-expensive, a lot less useful from StarCraft as it's detectable, and it just doesn't feel it'd be worth the cost. They need to buff it or remove it. I don't see myself using it any time soon.

I just love the way Raven behaves in the Batlefield. I cant wait to put my hands on that unit. Of course i hope Blizzard dont touch it...

Did you vote for the wrong person? Cuz Raven stayed the same and Ghost increased one since last time I checked.

Re: Poll: Which one is the best caster so far???
Ghost. With full energy and nukes, it's like having a one man army. Nukes for the big guys and snipe for the littluns and Emp for other spellcasters. And all done while invisible.

Re: Poll: Which one is the best caster so far???
I don't really count the Queen as a caster since she just sits in the base - it's a very different role from the more 'frontline' nature of all the other units on the list, so I don't think she's quite comparable.
I rate the Sentry very highly :p. Guardian Shield is very powerful, and Force Field has so much utility! I actually had Force Field used on my Hydralisks to keep them out of range of Colossi :p.

Re: Poll: Which one is the best caster so far???
Yo Sentry Im really happy for you and Imma let you finish but the Queen is one of the most powerful caster of all time....of all time!
-
Re: Poll: Which one is the best caster so far???
I voted high templar, but sentry almost made it. I think Feedback is lame though, but nothing tops Psionic Storm.
The infestor has cool abilities, they're just weak. The raven's abilities seem a bit hard to use (especially since turrets take up four spaces in the map... that slows you down when dropping them into combat).
I don't see the ghost as a spellcaster. Snipe is weak and I hate EMP. Nukes are, of course, cool.
Queens only have transfusion as a combat ability. *Sniff* It used to be so cool.
The mothership lost all its cool combat abilities. Vortex is useful but can screw the caster. There's no more Time Bomb, Planet Cracker or teleport-to-building.

Gotta be the ghost.. concept is awesome and on the battlefield it's so useful and versatile.
second place to raven and sentry

They're really powerful actually. If they're used right. I killed a huge marine/marauder army with pretty inferior hydralisk numbers and a couple of infestors with fungal growth. And then once I just wiped out a ton of marines with that same ability.
Infested Marines is really it's only somewhat limited spell. But even then...
I mean 4 infestors with full energy is basically 32 infested marines wherever you want.
Anyway, I find saying which is the 'best caster' really difficult. I like quite a few of them, but I have trouble objectively saying which one is better than the others. I *REALLY* like Infestors, though. So as far as which one I like the best, I'll go with that.

Combat abilities are way overrated. I'll take economic mechanics any day.

After its damage has been changed to 80, it tops nothing itself.(((

I bet you'll do... I think that if u could chnge the game... u'd put the ghost the ability to gather minerals... Or the ability to create gas from the place where a nuke falls down...

Who told you about my ghost excavator idea? And for the record the way you get gas is by choosing to use the Ghost Academy's nuclear device for a safe cold fusion plant instead of a missle. Also gives increased returns when you get the centrifuge upgrade.

Infestor is MVP of like 50% of my games these days <3 it

Re: Poll: Which one is the best caster so far???
How has the Raven been for harass? - Like an HSM or two, followed up with some turrets. Somehow, I thought that was going to end up the Terran 'Reaver Drop'. :)

Re: Poll: Which one is the best caster so far???
The Sentry by far. Either it needs to be nerfed (oh no) or the other casters powered up (:/) OR more likely, give new spells to the casters with NEW mechanics (:D)

HSM seem to be very underused from my experience, ravens in general really - its a amazing unit ( like all the casters in sc2)
I lost like a ton of units today to that crap T_T

Re: Poll: Which one is the best caster so far???
No mothership love these days. Lol. DO YOU SEE THAT BLIZZARD!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Maybe the already known fact that it resembles an arbiter...
However, for me, the infesor is second... taking into acount the creative aspect.
A nerfed Mind control (compared to the sc1 mind control we all loved), Stun (or WC3 root), and the ridiculous Infested terran. Oh and it can move burrowed, but can't do shit in this state...
Just my thoughts after watching easily more than Zurg 80 games.
