What does the Temporal rift do ???

Temporal Rift = Time Bomb

But it's been moved from the Mothership to the High Templar.

Considering the number of changes the ability called "Time Bomb" has gone through, that doesn't explain what it does.

I really wish they could at least tell us how the abilities work. How hard would that be?

That does not answer my question. What does the ability do ?

[Triceron]

It's the Time Bomb ability from the original Protoss Reveal trailer of the mothership.

Makes a big bubble that makes projectiles slow/stop and prevent damage to the unit(s) inside.

[ArcherofAiur]

Well the last version of time bomb they talked about slowed down movement and attack speed.

If HTs got now 'Time Bomb' they will be pretty overpowered, since you need to have Dark Archons and Hts in SC BW to do what you can do now with just HTs

Um, I still don't know how giving the Dark Pylon a name change and making it so it must be built within pylon power is going to reduce spam. Well, with regards to Proton Charge anyway. Unless that's a "problem" that they're still working on.

They were trying to reduce "give energy to units" spam.

Not only can you not build them anywhere you want (at the very least you have to build a pylon first, and that means waiting for the pylon to warp in, and that probably means you have a probe sitting around for some time doing nothing ... or warping in photon cannons, maybe) but it doesn't give you free psi while you're doing so.

There have been at least 3 separate versions of Time Bomb. Which version did the HT just get is the question.

[Medzo]

Im really interested in seeing how effective EMP is against protoss.
