Another crazy spell idea

Research Grounding Cables =)
allows Sentries to deploy grounding cables

Deploy Grounding Cables (1.5s) 50 Mana /0 mana on pylons
immoblizes the sentry and redirect all incoming spells within range=10 to target the deployed sentry. Spells that a susceptible to grounding cables are
Yamato Cannon
250mm
Psi Storm
Feedback
Snipe (since sentry is mech will only do 25 dmg)
EMP
Fungal Growth
Neural Parasite
Vortex

so basically the SC2 version of the grounding totem, AOE spells like psistorms will create persistent right on top of the sentry. so now toss can mislead Terran EMP shots xD

The ability name sounds Terran, and quite frankly I can't see the point to the ability. Units that redirect damage to them usually have huge HP pools, like the Night Elf Mountain Giant and its Taunt. Sentries are extremely fragile. It just seems silly to me.

Yeah, they're too frail, it would be an one-use only spell, and it will cost you 100 gas.

But Protoss would do fine with that stone Zealots, LOL! :p

give it to a pylon xD

Cool idea but would be super OP you could just run a few sents awya from army n do it since u have a 10 range it out ranges all spells and would basicly just make the game rigged for protoss...IMO anyway.

Meh! They had Nullify once. I remember. It would been useful against Concussive Shells. But really, Concussive Shells should just be scrapped, and that's all.

Nullify stopped the use of energy based abilities in an area, like Storm or EMP. It would have had exactly ZERO effect on Concussive Shells.

Didn't it cancel all effect on units in the area?

No. It only stopped the use of energy based abilities by units in the area.

hmmm... my memory is not what it used to be (but never was, anyways) :p

oh yeah that's right we should give sentry the ability to use the "Psionic Counter Zone"
which will stop spell effects and buffs in that area, so no more stim, emp, psi storm in that area the behavior coding will just not apply, which means the spell will work against your zealots and immortals, (zealots will try to charge but the buff will fall off instantly) passive behaviors are affected like hardened shields and frenzied
