Giving the Nexus Argus Link

[ArcherofAiur]

The Protoss currently only have 4 units which use energy.

Sentry
High Templar
Phoenix
Mothership

Only 1 of those is a really viable unit right now. One is situational tech, but could be much more viable with Argus Link. One is the worst of all the cheap AtA units with a horrible ability. One is never ever seen because its a 400/400 Arbiter.

If Protoss had more uses for Argus Link, I'd support it. But they just... don't.

Protoss will definatly get more spell casters in future expansions.

I'm totally behind this - 'All-you-can-eat' Psi-Storm ftw...!

But that doesn't exactly help us NOW does it?

Quite frankly I don't feel the Protoss need any more units. Fix the Archon, Phoenix, and Mothership and they're set.

They might not need new units now, but they will if they want to combat the Terratron: coming in one year to a Terran line-up near you!

Expansions adding units is like an arms race. P might not lack anything now, but once we get "New Unit Type X" (ie, anti-caster in TFT) we're going to need something to take care of that type of unit type.... and so on, and so forth.

True, I guess I should have been more clear in that I meant I don't think any of the races need more units. Tweaks, yes. Replacements, maybe. But certainly not more. Hell, there are several units for each race which could be scrapped without affecting the balance at all.

Phoenix are good, but Argus Link wouldn't help them. Because you kinda mass them so they get lots of energy very quickly.

It'd be useful with High Templar, and they're certainly very powerful. And that's my main concern.

The Mothership could certainly use it, being able to instantly cast Vortex when spawned, and such.

Anyway, come to think of it, I think the Khaydarin Amulet upgrades and such were intended as a substitute for Argus Link. The spells main purpose struck me as being able to cast these spells immediately upon spawning.

[Asfastasican]

Yeah, we don't really need Argue Link. We could maybe use it if they ever fix the Scou... I MEAN Phoenix!

Seriously. The Phoenix has ZILCH in common with the Scout.

I still think that making Chrono Boost a channeling ability would help out big time.

Mmmm that sounds nice..... More user fiendly. This way you dont have to check your nexus every 30 seconds, and you save unnecesary extra clicks

While at the same time defeating the entire purpose of the mechanic...
