Very nicely done. I could do with adding some prism play to my game. I have to admit, I've only ever used it to escape a cannon contain and expand elsewhere. But I'd love to be able to do the baller shit like NEXGenius with his immortal drop into Loner's line of seige tanks. Man that was cool.



WhiteRa had some great Prism usage in his Blizzcon run as well. thumb.gif

Another problem many Protoss players are familiar with is losing tech when a Pylon gets taken out. Nothing can be more dangerous than not being able to warp in High Templars when you're fighting on the edge of extinction. Having a Warp Prism around immediately allows you to power up that Templar archives again and simultaneously creates psionic matrix for the Templars to be warped into.

I am 99% sure this is not the case, i will test this and edit this in 2 mins
Edit: you can build any kind of unit if you have the unpowered structures it requires, I tested it.
ex: you can build 1 stalker with 1 active gateway and 1 unpowered cyber core, Its the same for all units (HT DT etc, all expect the ones that only require the structure they are built from ex: zealot)

Okay, thanks for pointing out. It´ll be changed immediately.

I just recently figured out that a prism can also drop units while in phase mode. I had always assumed that the two modes were mutually exclusive.

Me being a terran player I still do think that this unit is a bit weak... both flulff and balance wise... half a second and it gets raped by like 2 - 3 marines (which is nothing).

Increasing it's health a bit wouldn't be that bad... I mean the units being warped in could stll easily be attacked and it really wouldn't change that much at all.

?? it's got 100/100, whereas the Medivac only has 150 (it does have 1 armor though). OL have 200hp, so they all seem to be on par with each other. Ol can be morphed to Overseer for +1 armor and faster movement. I believe Warp Prism dies less frequently once u get its speed upgrade.

At least, if you're commenting on a very old discussion, take the time to consider whether the context has changed in the interim. For example warp prisms have gotten quite a bit less squishy, so think about whether the current scenario of warp prisms really has much to do with this old discussion. In this case, I would say no.
