Witch Doctor is perhaps NOT the new Necromancer - Page 2

20% assassin (Fire bomb)




If it weren't for Diablo 2, I wouldn't really say fire bombs is assassin archetype. While it is true that bombs have often been used in real life assassination I would probably put it under some alchemist/vigilante/rogue archetype. Although in the case of a flaming skull I'd put it under the shamanistic caster.|||Gosh! Folks, it is so obvious that the witch docter is a version of the druid, thats why they both deal with nature and can shapeshift.... Oh Snap! thats just the druid.

WD is into dark evil magics, tribal dealing with death, demons, disease and curses, simular to a Necro. But at the same time this is not a necro because he is own class. For those who lost your beloved Necro Class, i am sorry for your loss this is not that same thing.

If the WD is not a Druid and not a necro then what is it.... it is a WD!!! Stop comparing this game to D2. it is not going to get you anywhere.

D1 to D2 added 3 classes in total ( i am including the expansion for both games) Both head the warrior typ cast, Range and spell user in the origanl version. Hellfire added a holy charecter which D2 had its own (yet no healing abilities) The Druid, Assassian and Necro where new editions to the diablo world in d2. There is no reson to believe any of the charecter will be duplicated, only time will tell.

My guess it will be the basic 5 classes. Warrior, Range, Caster, Holy and Dark. but i have no proof of this.|||Witchdoctor would definitely be having healing, resurrection skills in their Spirit Tree.

Yes Blizzard mentioned there was not a need for a healer in game, since there are mana/health orbs in the game, but that doesn't mean they will not be including a partial fighter and healer in the game. The WD might need the healing skills for his/her minions, and at the same time it could be used on party members.

Anything is possible as long as the WD is tweaked in such a way he can go through the game alone in SP.|||i will fully disagree, they will not include and healing type moves, this is nto the diablo way. especailly resing since they have the check point system. i got to say i like the run back to body a little bit more, alot of time that made a challenge apear when you have to figure out how to get back at your body.|||There's nothing I can see wrong with a character having a straight up healing move.|||Quote:

Yeah, the doc is the ranged attacker, thats actually an intresting thought. Never realy bought the whole, doc is a replacement for necro.|||I completely see the necro as being toast.

The most powerful aspect of the Necro is not summons, not bone, but curses.

the necro curses are in wd videos. necro is gone.|||Quote:

they are not going to get rid off pots and give us healing moves? that makes no since what so ever.

He is though, he is not exactly the necro, but the simularites between the charecter are to much alike. any closer we would have the necro. I like the Necro, he was a really fun class, nothing like clearing cow levels out with bonewall and iron maiden, those where the old days though.

Blizzard said other than the barb no other charecter would be returning atleast not until the expansions. but i dont even see them coming back after that, as long as they come up with other classes that can take there spot and fighting styles.|||Yeah, the necro's curses are swallowed up by this WD freak. and i say freak not in the cool way.

could suck.|||I think the WD is a delightful new take on the dark mage concept. I look forward to go out in the areas around Caldeum and fighting down the necromancer cult that is supposed to lurk there, acording to the lore on the d3 site.

Seems like the necros may have gone nuts, and i wouldnt be suprised that they are the threat to deal with in act1 of D3. Much like how the d1 heroes became the villains in D2.
