Which is your favorite Protoss ground unit? I made two polls in the past one about favorite Zerg ground unit and one about favorite Terran ground unit, now I want to know about your favorite protoss ground unit. My personal favorite is the Dark Templar, although if blizzard made an archon which came from Dark Templar and a High Templar fusing that would be my favorite, honestly they should have made High Templars named Light Templars and Archons named Light Archons and then made a regular Archon which was a Dark Templar fused with a Light Templar... Honestly what were they thinking? Anyhow now you vote!

i like archons because they're powerful and have splash damage. face it. you're going to be scared of a giant ball of energy coming at you.
nerdy- that's an interesting idea. can you add units to starcraft through modding? why can't it just be easy like with tiberian sun

I know nothing of modding sadly, I need to learn to, seeing as I at least have some basic knowledge about pretty much everything else. Archons I don't like because they're not very stealthy, in terms of practical stuff in melee though they're useful.

Dragoons. Excellent range, decent attack, decent hp, and in groups, can be devasating, especially when combined with micro.

I choose Reaver, I love the ability to heavily damage buildings before my opponent can do anything about it. That and I also like the concept of a moving explosives factory.

Ah yes, and reavers are great when combined with shuttles, you can pop one out let it attack the opponent real quick then pop it back in b4 the opponent can shoot. They're devasting to mining forces 
. The reaver is definetly a good unit, expensive though. I wish Ultimo would put up his vote and I wish whoever chose Dark Templar like me, would post...

Except for attack speed, and the inability to hit air, I agree .

I used to love Dark Templars a lot. But then I realised that the High Templar's storm is very powerful and then I though, without Probes there would not be. But then overall I think I would choose Dragoon. They are good against heavy armour units, have good range and moves decent and has a good amount of hp.

Dark Archon, a fresh dark archons beats anything in the game hands down.

Mine would probably be the Scout because it's easy to use and has many upgrades, though the Corsair does their job better. Scouts are better at taking heavy air down more, like Devourers, Carriers and Battlecruisers.

Revelade it's your favorite Protoss GROUND unit. I think Dragoons are a good choice, except they are owned by lower level units such as M&Ms, Zerglings, and Zealots. I would say Dark Archons are really good too, they can be well worth the money when you use one to mind control a Battlecruiser . Or even when you use one to gain a whole new race . I still like Dark Templars better though, you can decimate people's mining operations with one ground unit upgrade and four Dark Templars in the back of their base . One hit kills on all miner units except SCVs. If they have three armour upgrades then just buy two weapons uprades and it's still one hit kills .

I'd have to say Zealot for their mass factor, speed and great DPS.

With enough micro, Dragoons can easily outshoot marines, zealots and zerglings.

PROBE!!!
Against a computer, under the right terrain conditions, a probe can take on any protoss ground unit and win!

I like the DT because they have a good attack strength and they're cloaked. Zeratul isn't too bad either, but he does have his disadvantages as a DT.

Archon. The whole "Power Overwhelming" deal with his deep voice makes him sound uber. Like Mewtwo. LOL. You gotta love the shockwave. lol

Lol, the first time I heard the archon say that I was like WTF THE ARCHON CHEATS!! lol. Archons would be more Über if they were faster and more maneuverable.. Gotta love the floating thing so that Vultures can't hit them with mines. Zealots are fun, but not always useful. Goliaths and Vultures in most cases will shred zealots.

Archon. Can't use lockdown, broodling, and a ton of other effects on it since it isnt an organic or mechanical unit. It has pretty good splash, 30 damage and 360 HP in effect. EMP might ruin it, but broodling can easily ruin any of the others (besides reaver, dark archon and probe, but neither can hit air and probe isn't very good besides building and gathering. Dark archon loses to a few zerglings since it can only mind control 1 time)
