New High Templar Ability...

[Eligor]

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?

Posting it on Battle.net SC2 forums is a good idea.

Perhaps by creating a radius inside which all enemy ranged attacks become ineffectual? Somewhat like Dark Swarm...

It only affects projectiles.

believe it might make a ratio around and say 1/4 of the missiles that go into that area will get destroyed. if u make anotherone nearby it will increase to 1/2 of the missiles will die and so on

They won't do it that way because they don't want random elements. That's why they removed miss chance after all. Might also be why they removed Overload, now that I think about it.

I do kind of wonder about the restriction to "projectiles" only - did they assign attacks to different units bearing this ability in mind? Seems like it might lead to weird balance issues otherwise.

I don't think this sounds random. A static reduction in attack vulnerability is not the same as a percent chance to do full damage on each shot.

How was overload based on chance? I don't remember...

[The_Blade]

it would attack ALL the units within range dealing the same damage.

How confirmed is that name change? I mean, it's a very rough translation and Nighthawk and Raven are both black birds so ... could just be a mistranslation.

Anyways, I'm interested in learning more about this new ability. It seems like High Templars might be more useful than just storm then merge in StarCraft 2. Maybe we'll have a reason to keep our Templars
