Dark shrine seems to be a very boring building

[Wankey]

All it does it unlock Dark Templar. Why don’t they just replace the obelisk with the Dark shrine? The building model for dark shrine is vastly superior and it looks more like an obelisk.

Move Dark templar back to templar archives to make them more useful again.





You can see it’s a vastly superior model. And they both contain a crystal type object.

Sounds good, different buildings for HT/DT tech always seemed dumb anyway.

[Tritanis]

If it stays as a separate building it should have some special ability like arbiter's cloaking aura, or the building itself could be cloaked, that would make it harder to scout and made the building a bit less dull.

OR
make dark obelisk an upgrade for normal-macro-mechanic obelisk that allows production of dark templars ;d

Anyone else notice that the three heads are different. Hmmmm

SC2 website DID mention a Boros in the article along with Zeretai and Lenassa. Boros apparently had 2 warp blades or something, and possibly will make it in. so yeah the 2 visible heads DO like like the heads of zeratai and lenassa so nice thinking ;]

Another idea -

Have THREE dark templar units.
Single Warp blade = regular dark templar 40 dmg etc
Double warp blade = uncloaked, much more damage 80dmg, much lower health
Dual welding blade = 30 dmg each blade (doing fast attack) and runs fast (ie upgraded zealot with charge)

Each corresponds with a type of counter (ie, cloaked DT is good for harass) Double warp blade are good against buildings/hard targets
Dual welding is good against melee

Etc

Dark shrine can toggle a path. Ie, if you choose single, it allows you to build single warp blade. If you choose double, it builds that.

But without the Obelisk, where would our obligatory science fiction reference to Chronicles of Riddick be? :P

I think the description of the Boros sounded just like the void ray pilot's face.
