As long as she(cause im not ever gana pick a cripply old black guy) can summon massive mobs like the Necromancer, I'll love it.
But if it's like the Druid, then, pah....
I seen too many old 40-50s zombie-ish movies where some crazed witchdoctor unleashes an army of dead. And some black guy is always wetting his pants.
As for the figure in the flame - I read osmewhere by some artist or designer that the point was to include the image of the Doctor himself in more of his skills. It's supposed to be him you see in the flames for a split second. Much like it's his face in the scare skill.
Zombies are too slow, and disliked in popular culture more than skeletons.
Zombie speed depends on the movies. I agree that a true Zombie should shamble, but some movies have very fast Zombies indeed.
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.
Really? Disliked? There is a zombie hype here where I live, so I wouldn't know. Fast or slow, a lot of people I know love zombie movies and books.
Actually, the WD would have ghouls instead of zombies (so they wouldn't be so slow). As some others said, the fire bomb is mostly alchimical, perfect for our doctor friend. He'll probably be a master of alchemy and herbs, after all he uses herbs to get in spiritual trance.
