WD items - Page 2

Ahhhh, ok lol that makes More sense.|||Is no one else really excited to have the big Voodoo masks? Or even the bones, shrunken heads, feathers, bark, leaves . . .

I'm pumped for the WD's look and feel, and IMO Blizz should really try to show it off, especially with his masks, which would make a great Class-Specific (unless they do the whole 'every char has his own look with the same gear' thing, which is fine).

But the WD has more than that, on the WD page at blizzard.com http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/char...itchdoctor.xml , some of the Doctor's concept art shows him using a flail, a very Zulu shield, spears . . . Of course there's also what others have discussed, including boomerangs, blowdarts, etc.

Any one of these could fit as a class specific, and the weapons could be anything from Caster (like the Necro's wand, or the Sorc's staff/orb) to defensive/caster (like the Necro's totem shield), a nifty melee weapon, whatever.

The Doctor has a LOT of potential, way more to be explored than the mighty Barbarian or the wise (and rash) Wizard.

Really I'm just ranting 'cause nothin' new has been released about the Good Doctor in far too long. Doc, where's the voodoo that you do?|||One of the concept arts demonstrated what the Female Witchdoctor armor would look like from low level to high level. In each one the mask got bigger.|||Quote:

I have to say that it is true...and it is a disturbing trend I've noticed: The good doc isn't getting the same attention as the Wizard and the Barbarian.

This happened in WoW several times (Don't hate cuz I mentioned a highly successful game) with some classes getting more dev love than the others. With Blizz not saying anything new about this class it worries me the Doc will become the "black sheep" of the D3 family.

Look at the simple fact that the WD doesn't have a complete spell list, or nearly as complete as the Wizard and the Barb. AND IT WAS ONE OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT CLASSES! It's almost as if blizz has taken the two familiar classes and run with them...

Bring back the Voodoo of the Doctor and give us some d*mned info!|||Well, they picked the WD for announcement even though it was not the furthest along in development, because they thought a Barb, Wizard release would be to similar to D2. So the fact that he had an incomplete spell list at Blizzcon, which was about a month behind development, I don't think shows that it is a black sheep. They have said that it was easier to come up with skills for the Wizard and the Barb because they had solid archetypes to draw from, while for the WD they have to get a feel for what skills will work for the atmosphere they want.
