Psi Spears

[[LightMare]]

I would just love if the protoss zealots could have psi spears. that would just make my day ::)
if there was an upgrade at this new Protoss building they said in the newest interview.
thoughts?

Edit by 10-Neon: Thread subject changed for clarity.

Spears? like...throwing spears or hand to hand spears?

[[LightMare]]

both. like they have one spear. so if they throw it, they return to psi blades. it would deal like 25-30 damage.

[Itsmyship]

Hehehe...that would make for one funny animation....the zealot winds up like its gonna throw a football and then suddenly a blue thing emerges from his wrist xP

[DontHate]

protoss spartans!!!

[[LightMare]]

that's exactly what i had in mind! :O

[Itsmyship]

*shrug* If you had hand to hand spears, it would look incredibly stupid on a zealot, plus like i said, it'd be a wierd(though funny) animation when they fight. Hehe, if you put an axe on one, it'd remind me of Optimus Prime xP

I like Psi Blades just fine :)

[burkid]

protoss spartans!!!

"We're in for a wild night"

[hillzagold]

i think it would be incredibly badass if someone yelled out 'THIS IS SHAKURAS!!!'

but anyways, just no, it would be too much like WC3

[Fenix]

Aldaris: This is madness Executor!
Zeratul: Madness? This....Is....AIUR!!!

(Aiur cause of the syllables O_o)

[[LightMare]]

aahh the joy! wouldn't it be a cool concept? you can use the spear for more damage, but slower attack, or throw it, dealing much damage

(I like what you did with my avy ElemenTT xD)

Or make the Lance wielding zealots a morph (like lurker from hydralisk), these could provide for a standard air support for zealots.

why thank you :D
but instead of spending money each time, zealots spawn with both abilities. but starts with a spear. in order to obtain his psi blades, he must throw his spear and impale an enemy target, dealing almost instant death. but, only one unit may receive a spear. you can't have 2 zealots throw their spears at the same target.

[10-Neon]

How about a spear that stabs through one target, and is long enough to deal damage to the unit behind the first one as well? Maybe it would be good for poking through thick armor, deep into the juicy core of the enemy.

And then they get into phalanx formation for bonus combat against goliaths, tanks, ultralisks, vultures, and horses.

or 300 zealots vs 1,000 marines :D

[paragon]

or 300 zealots vs 1,000 marines :D

I think the zealots would win actually.

[Arachanox]

300 zealots strategically placed in a bottleneck that allows on unit through it a time could potentially kill 1,000,000 zerglings. If the charge attack killed the 'lings before they even touched the zealots...

[paragon]

A GAU-8 with infinite ammo placed in a bottleneck that allows one unit through at a time could definately kill an infinite amount of zerglings.

This is a GAU-8

[zeratul11]

300 zealots vs 1,000,000 (zerglings, hydralisk, ultralisk and kerrigan as xerxes)

ahup ahup.

if zealots gets spear weapons they would look like predators. both are tall, looks out of this world, and they have spears, but the predators have plasma guns and laser of their helmets which will totally own the zealots. anyway at least zealots have shields, and throwings spears? how about giving them laser guns.

[paragon]

how about giving them laser guns.

Sorta like the vindicator...

i want one of those

[[LightMare]]

:D 300 Zealots w/ spears vs 1 000 000 zerglings :)

[Ghost]

I carry one around for self-defense... xD

[[LightMare]]

i guess all those years of training pays off xD

It's bigger than a Volkswagen beetle

Well you never know when your gonna get attcked by a tank xD

To paragons last post.

Oh, im sorry i ddnt write <SARCASM> at the end of that one m8

[SirBaron]

protoss spartans!!!

This in conjunction with ElemenTT's suggestion made my day. :powerup:

I am well aware that you were being sarcastic. I just chose to ignore that fact.

[SirBaron]

Why correct him if you knew he was being sarcastic?

[paragon]

Maybe I was being sarcastic. Maybe I was being ironic. Maybe I was being a ****.

[burkid]

maybe that just made my day :powerup:

Whatever pops your baloon m8. :P

[paragon]

maybe that just made my day :powerup:

always a pleasure. Made me laugh when I read it after typing it.

[lilchibikun]

that would be really cool, but it would really kill the originality of the zealot! dont you think?

[hillzagold]

Maybe I was being sarcastic. Maybe I was being ironic. Maybe I was being a ****.
All of the above?


What the zealots really need is the ability to not movie in single file line like retarded ants.

[paragon]

They'll probably have movement pathing be better than it was in warcraft 3 and in warcraft 3 units generally didn't move in a line

[Meee]

"if zealots gets spear weapons they would look like predators"
that makes two of us. When I read zealots with spears I thought exactly the same.
They could use these melee interceptors for pred's disc :p

[Ghost]

I think it was option 3.

[paragon]

all of the above actually

[didd293]

Instead of spears, I'd like it better if the zealots were given the option to switch between a gun and a blade, or create a new ranged infantry unit for protoss. Granted, the dragoons were pretty good for range, but they were too large and it was a pain in the ass when I was trying to transport them. Six shuttles for 12 dragoons? I'd rather just sneak in 12 reavers or something. Although all this could change depnding on the immortals/stalkers.

[[LightMare]]

no guns. we have immortals and stalkers for that. PSI SPEARS FTW!

like the vindicator? it has a gun.

[burkid]

wasnt the vindicators gun a lightning gun?

[paragon]

it was a gun. i think thats as much information as there was about it and everything else was pure speculation

[burkid]

vindicators look pretty sweet. no matter the kind of gun.

[didd293]

just as long as something replaces the soul hunter, I'm fine. Especially if it's the vindicator

[burkid]

i personally like soul hunters, because even though they are weak vs. vehicals/robotics, they own organics, and zerg is all organics so... hehehe

[Lord David]

I think there should be "Psi Spears", but only fielded by the Protoss hero equivalent of a Terran Civilian! ;)

[burkid]

the protoss artisan?
