The water, it burns!
Witch Doctor = top half of a Flayer Shaman = cracked-out, grass-wearing, jungle hobo = bobbing clown who vomits leaves a.k.a. Bobo the clowning village idiot. And people thought Necromancers had an image problem.
Not my problem, you stalled yourself and died. Anyway, what's wrong with throwing fire at normal water? It evaporates into super heated steam which kills you. Who cares? Also, people thought Necromancers had an image problem?
Do you think will see a change in the WD appearance in Blizzcon?
Just a thought..
Maybe, it would be nice. The witch doctor doesn't appear to be big even though he's actually taller than the wizard by a bit.
Death by steam is pretty horrible. Either you lungs burn thus choking you, or your skin gets damaged to the point of shock and you die because of that. Really ****ing cruel.Originally Posted by lunarleif
Oh yeah, back in 1.09 and patches before that. Most skills were pretty useless except the IM + BG combo. Necro's were just curse *****es to a party and people generally didn't want to play them.
The appearance of the WD probably won't change. Blizz seems intend on keeping his WC Troll-like appearance and their love of green and purple isn't likely to go away. For some reason the appearance of the WD has been bombarded by the community as proof of the fact that the classes in D3 can be original and fresh. All in all the male WD will keep looking ridiculous with his Parkinson hunchback, while the female WD will remain a sexy female because lord knows that females in games can't be ugly.
Truth be told I don't think we'll be hearing about the WD AT ALL during Blizzcon. They have the possibility of introducing two new classes. Two classes that will generate a large buzz regardless of how they turn out. The WD is pretty old news at this point in time. A lot of people don't even care about him. If Blizz were to reveal more skills for him and actually flesh the character out they would only appeal to those few WD fans. It just makes more sense for them to concentrate on the new classes.
If they do release more skills for the WD or change his appearance he is going to have the same problems as with his introduction. he was released next to the Barb who got most of the attention. If they release more info now all his thunder will be stolen by the new classes.
You really should make a new thread on this. I'd be interested to see what the other posters think about this.

Maybe I should, but I think you just answered the whole thread here (:
However, I must disagree:
1. You belive Blizz will introduce 2 new chars? That's the most optimistic thing I've ever heard. May I ask why? (I strongly think it will be only 1)
2. With only like 10 skills at his arsenal the WD has to have SOME news, especialy comparing to the Barb and Wiz. Maybe he has small fan-base now, but if they release some new epic skills everyone will start to see how cool the WD really is (what basically happened with the Wizard).
3. Huh, I think you're more the correct. The WD will be thunder stolen by the new char. This is a problem. However, if they make the new WD REALLY cool and epic maybe both chars can co-exist. I mean, the Barb didn't steal the WD's thunder because he was cool, but probably because the WD was very not cool..
Death by steam is horrible. It rips off your skin, flesh, and maybe even bone. *rips could be dissolves. Alright, this is not a discussion about skin flesh ripping. I think that they should do whatever. Considering that Blizzard releases information so slowly, any information is good information :P
Actually my guess is that they will only release one. They need another bombshell to drop sometime. Either during the next Blizzcon or during the promotion phase for the games release. A single new char at this Blizzcon is enough to keep people buzzing for a few more weeks.
The Wiz had her own little introduction party and didn't have to share. Plus she is an easily identified icon.
The problem is that the WD is "old" while the introduced char is completely "new". No matter how cool they make the "old" the "new" will always attract more attention.
I might be too pessimistic at the moment, but I don't believe that the WD will get the image he deserves.
And why not? It is Diablo-like, Necro-like and WD-like. If there ever was a thread about skin flesh ripping, this would be it.

this is not the place for flesh ripping in most scenarios. This post has been removed. It was not rated E.
I've decided to reroll my old char. The steam incident has forced me to reconsider my build and attack strategy.
