(From Blizzard's words.) And I think it looks great. For those who don’t know why they changed the warp-blade for a Scythe, it’s to difference the Dark Templars of the Zealots.

Just because DTs are going to have sychte like weapons doesn't mean they are becoming "Warcrafty". I personally thought it was a nice touch for the DTs and if any of you noticed, Blizzard is trying to keep the "Starcraft" without making it look too much like Starcraft 1. Lastly, when it comes to Zeratul, I think that he will still have his old warp blade... It would be the best thing for him reguarding he was always drawn and portrayed using his blade.

I bet the DT will have no other added benefits such as splash damage, nor will it be nerfed with a researchable cloaking. I think it will just be the same DT in Brood War. I bet its function will be the same, its damage,its shield, its HP. Only aesthetics will be changed. unless of course the balance of the 3 races will be shifted drastically. Maybe when details about Zerg will come out, we can tell. what’s so warcrafty about the new DT? which character?

Although, I't would be cool if the dark templar could have some sort of "splash" attack where he uses Double Bladed Scythe to damage all enemies near him (in certain radius of course). mmm, It’s interesting to see the dark templar with a Double Bladed Scythe-like Warp Blade, but I don’t see the use of a double Bladed Scythe, since in the attack animation the dark templar only uses one of the blades.

[/quote] The reason prolly being is so is to make it look more "Warcraft"-y which I find totally BS. It was already good, they made it look extremely uglier, not to mention how hideous DTs look like now. [quote]

That's the best attribute the Dark Templar has. I don't see the point of Blizzard having a Dark Templar decloaked at one point in the game, or having to research it in the Dark Obelisk to have it permanently. I'm not that impressed with the way they look in the screenshots though. Hope you can send us a better look in the near future.

Yeah, a detector. “Note that an Observer makes an appearance in the second one, decloaking the Dark Templars and exposing them to attack.”
