I HATE the Witch Doctor

[Oscar_Wilde]

It apears blizzard can't come up with any new original ideas, they re-used one character the barbrian who was never a popular character to begin with and now this. It seems the more a read about him the more he seems like a re-used character from diablo ii, hes got necromancer spells and druid summons the two worst parts of each character. I honestly don't see what people see in him. If you do indeed find him brillaint i would most gratfully listen to why, however i doubt it would change my mind.

Yours faithfully

How goes pederasty?

I think the fact that you said you "doubt that [reasons why someone would find the WD brilliant] would change your mind" pretty much means you won't get much of a response on the question. Moreover, there are tons of threads on this already such that such people who might have responded are worn out of trying to addressing general antipathy toward the WD. That you even phrased the topic similarly is just a signal of the same old discontent.

And art is meaningful.

I think I THINK you should like the Necromancer cause hes just ballin'

I dont even want to change your mind. Don't play a WD then. And you don't like the barb, so don't play that either. If you end up not liking anything: don't play D3. Bye.

Luckily there's such a thread right below this one at this moment expressing admiration for the Doc.

I actually think he brings up a valid and different point. When Diablo II came out, we saw no more of the rogue, warrior, and barely the same sorceror.

The amazon took the place the rogue held; but the amazon plays very diffierently than the rogue. She was far more complex, had decoy spells, had elemental spells, AoE, debuffs; all sorts of things.

The warrior was sort of replaced by the paladin or the barbarian. But we can obviously tell (without going into much detail) that the two new melee classes held little resemblance to the old warrior.

And the soceress was changed simply as the gameplay was changed. Each character now had it's character tree, unlike in diablo where you learned them from tomes.

But with diablo 3; we've seen the barbarian play almost identically with it's d2 counterpart, save for a flashier animations. The necromancer was ditched for a character who will have very similar gameplay. Curse, distract with minions, spam spells.

Why didn't ANY of the D1 heroes make it into d2? Because they went insane.
That part of the story is a little grim. I know it's too early to judge the storyline of the game, but from what we've seen in other aspects of the game , alot of the will be alot less grim.

That's not to say that this is a bad thing; though. As it is, d3 is a new game and should be a brand new experience. That's what we all want. That's what we enjoyed about both diablo games in the past. It's just that, as the game took it's time to be released, we became attached to other parts of the game as well.

Making this statement and then creating a new thread with the exact same title and substance as a thread just below it is just priceless.
