Protoss Units
Probe
Overview
This little unit oversees Protoss production and maintenance, and may quickly establish an entire base single-handedly.
How it has Changed
The Probe has not changed. However, the advent of the Protoss Dark Templar and Zerg Lurker, who can kill Probes quickly, makes defending the supply line even more imperative.

Recommended Uses
Construction and resource gathering. Early scouting. Last-ditch defense. Base expansion.
Further Detail
Probes are still your most suitable scouts early in a battle, better even than SCVs or Drones because of their superior vision rating. Because Dragoons and Dark Templars are so useful now, you'll wish to use Probes to mine Vespene Gas sooner than you would previously.
