Why does the Dark Archon's feedback ability sometimes doesn't kill a targeted unit? In a map I was playing it would kill a high templar in one sitting, but when I remade it took 2-3 feedbacks to kill the hight templar. Is it random or something?



None.

I think it's damage is based on the target's energy ammount. If the target got 200 energy, it deals 200 damage. Not completely sure if this is how it works though, never really used the Dark Archon for anything but Mind Control.

We do a little trolling

Feedback takes the unit's current energy, then drains it and deals that amount of damage to it. If the unit has 5 energy, it's only going to do 5 damage.

Yeah.. it's the same in WCIII. It's a pretty useful skill and can be used to deal a lot of damage to units like battlecruisers. And, I think it can 1HKO a wraith as well?

If the Wraith has over 120 energy, it can.

I had a crazy moment when I thought a wraith had more then 250 life. Nevermind me :P.

You also had one when you compared it to WC3 as if WC3 was made first.

You, my dear Chuiu, had a crazy moment when you misread my post there and saw a timeline.

We all get a bit insane once in a while, I guess :).

Yeah.

Plus, WC3 Mana Burn typically has a cap (i.e. it burns up to 75 or 100 or whatever mana) whereas Feedback doesn't--it just burns all of it.

... That's what mana burn is? Wow, I've been wondering that since that episode of South Park came out. :P

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
