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

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
