Maybe it's that the Witch Doctor doesn't seem powerful outside of his context, it feels like he would be out of his element elsewhere, as if he can only channel his power from his home surroundings.
Personally I don't care that much about flavour as long as it's mostly palatable and the gameplay is fun, elegant and multilayered. Of course not everyone is like me and it's all important!|||I have a feeling that we haven't yet seen the best out of WD..|||I certainly hope so since we have seen a pathetic 11 out of 60 skills.|||It makes me sad that a lot of people always have to ***** about some aspect of this game, if its not the graphic style its the new healing system, if its not the healing system its the characters. All this after we have waited for what seemed like a century for its announcement, knowing there was a 50/50 chance of it ever happening. Instead of enjoy every little detail and effort Blizzard has put into this awesome third installment, people have to pick on something. I think the WD is just as epic as the barbarian and wizard, IF NOT MORE. And im saying that even though hes my 3rd favorite! But i say that in full confidence realising what potential a summoner / spellcaster / disease hybrid such as the WD has, and CAN be truly EPIC. And we have seen just 1/6 of his skill tree ... enough said|||Also, out of the few spells we have seen, how many have been of a high tier? Just wondering.|||No idea. No Tier structure was given for the WD. He is really lagging behind.|||Quote:
The silence of the swamps is broken as shrieks and howls of terror pierce the air. Out of the brushes jump out demons and monsters, their broken visages not ones of fierce battle, but of unspeakable horror. They trip as they run, their skins alredy half eaten by acids and locusts, flames spread out through the forest, spirits rise to the call. To the side a stragler's soul is severed from his body. Burning hellhounds rise up from the swamps to end all life, and those who had the bad luck to still be alive saw the visage of death itself, death so horrible it broke their otherworldly minds and made them put daggers to eachother's throats.
That's how I envision the Witch Doctor. Epic, is something that cannot begin to describe him.
Holy crap, I think you just made my freakin' day. I am really indecisive about which class I'll play in DIII, but witch doctor seems to be the one I keep going back to. The way he dances around in combat, cutting through his enemies with locusts and bloody illusions like a hot knife through butter, it's just unreal! That is how I picture the epicness of the witch doctor.|||Quote:

haha, I think it's probably to early to be deciding what class you will play, but go for your life.
WD in my mind is a bit more grim with bits of rotting flesh and general filth all over him that would be better than fruity feathers etc.|||Quote:

Lol, first if people see problem they are free to speak about it on the forum and if they are in minority with they dislike/like it will be found fast.
For example look at topic "i hate the witch doctor" how big it is and now look on topic "i hate the barbarian" or "i hate the wizard", do you see the difference?
About WD being epic i agree with you, just casting dozens of frogs upon my enemies and seeing how they ran in fear will be awesome of course until they are French because then we have a problem.
Adding even more Mongrels are so freaking epic beastly looking dogs that all cats will for sure run on the trees, at least i hope so.|||It's no secret that a lot of people hate the witch doctor. This is a bit of a witch hunt, don't you think? (pun absolutely intended) People who don't like him/her should study his/her skills and truly appreciate the originality that Blizzard is attempting (something they should try more of!).
I personally would be more than satisfied with the game even if they pulled the witch doctor and put the necro back in (a real BS move by them, but sure) but I am guaranteed to love this game with the "horrific" appeal that the summoner classes give off, especially the WD.
My 2 cents, please reply, different opinions will be honored.
