New High Templar Ability...

[The_Blade]

wow nice...
now ht will be paired with any unit. help carriers etc.

just wondering...

how much energy does the ability restores?

I'm loving how Blizzard is really unique-ifying the race mechanics. Protoss warp-in and strong emphasis on shields now.

Zerg emphasis on creep and larvae

Terran, not so much, but they have salvage now and faster building float speed.

Defensive Drone, if it works like the Predator's Intercept (ie: is not limited to fire from base defenses) is much cooler than HSMissile.

I like the HT's shield ability, but I'd prefer that it would go on the Mothership rather than the HT. I'd also like some details, particularly as it relates to stacking.

Man, Immortals with +2 Shields are going to be strong against damn near anything with HT shield regen.

I think the Mothership already had this ability at some point... The only problem I can see with such an arrangement is that it's not mobile enough.

And yes, the Defensive Drone sounds much more exciting than the Hunter Seeler Missile.

Immortals with High Templar support sound indeed rather formidable, but the HT's are very frail, and that's where abilities such as Snipe come in, also in a case where the HT has used up most of his energy into recharging the Immortals' shields they are completely vulnerable to air.

[The_Blade]

actually the dark pylon had this ability

and its best on the ht not the mothership... as the mothership is a single unit...

Dark Pylon has Null Shield, turns units invisible and Argus Link that transfers Energy (not shield points).

I like it, it means Dark Proxy (Dark Pylon + High Templar + Argus Link) would serve to reinforce a position quite nicely

Good point man. This might actually make Argus link a valid competitor against Proton Charge...

Oh wait, it won't, because you'll build a Dark Pylon at your proxy in addition to the ones in your main dedicated for Proton Charge.

I just have to congratulate you on a very Squidish use of sarcasm.

Here's a question though... does anyone know how it works? Is it a one-off ability that instantly restores an X amount of shield points or increase the regeneration rate for an X duration? Or is it channeling?

I dunno... I like the idea of perhaps having the ability be channeling and absorbs damage inflicted upon nearby units at either a fixed ratio or by number of hits.

Good question, I would like to know as well.

Good to hear about some Protoss changes. They have seemed frozen in time compared to all the other changes the other races have been receiving.
