I don't know about you guys...

He could be possesed, or receiving a spirit. Whatever it certainly adds to the character, I think he is great on blizzard's page. I prefer him that way than with all those feathers in the gameplay video.

Perhaps I'm being overly critical - I also think the barb looks a little on the pudgy side. Kinda of like Mr Incredible before he started working out again.

Muscle guys always pudge out when they start getting old and out of practice. This is twenty years later, mind you.

He has a 6-pack, I don't consider that pudgy in the least. It's not the most defined ab muscles I've ever seen, but he looks more buff than he did 20 years ago.

kinda off topic, but speaking of aged muscle guys, have you seen arnold (ok, im going to try to spell this) schwarzinigar with out a shirt lately? its scary, scare you for life type of thing.

I think he might be wearing a skin-coloured shirt with a 6 pack painted on it. Also why run around in a loin cloth?

Reminds me of Ric Flair (if anyone ever watched "professional" wrestling).

The Witch Doctor is very enticing, in the mystical medicine man kind-of way, and I pretty much agree with the OP.

I have no negative feelings about the Witch doctor really. His role of using Zombies fits since in Haiti (I think) there were incidents of witch doctors manipulating people using puffer fish poison and forcing them to do work (which are considered slave zombeis).

In Boma Congo the tribes used the Nkisi Nkonde, a nail figurine to communicate with the dead. Not really in an evil sense, but for people to communicate with their dead loved ones. Witch Doctors used these Nail figurines for evil, communicating with demons. Perhaps this could be an item for the Witch Doctor class

I really like the Witch Doctor. He's something new, and he fills our need for a terrifying protaganist character to take on the forces of hell.

Keep in mind that before D2, the Necromancer was anything but generic. Blizzard took a risk in creating him. Now he's a staple of every RPG game imagineable.

If Blizzard makes a successful sequel that builds on the successes of the previous games, I have no doubt that the Witch Doctor will become a much more common fantasy archetype.

Thank Trag'Oul for that!

Where/when was that confirmed, do you know?

Well I hope that isn't a load of crap.
