Watch all 5 of his skills from the example videos given.
Really those are some pretty cool skills. Soul Harvest is just freakin awesome.
Mass Confusion seems really useful. The witchdoctor really looks like he would be a fun class to play, and I wouldn't mind having him in my group. I'm sure there's plenty of other new, unique spells yet to be revealed about this guy.
Just give him a chance. I was unimpressed at first from just the videos i saw at wwi 2008. But i read his class page thoroughly and looked all 5 of his skills there and am not so narrow minded anymore. I think he can turn out to be a great class, and still be unique enough to leave plenty room for a necro later on.
I was unimpressed with the WD when I first saw him. Read the full description and watched the gameplay videos and I'm still unimpressed. I'm sorry, but he's just a huge turn off for me.
Necro wins hands down. Swarm of bugs? Pfft. The necromancer is a master of poisons. One point in Can-o-Raid will take care of that. Wall of corpses? I see a wall of exploding corpses. Exploding chihuahuas? Meet Mr. Golem.
Besides, who wants to be a dancing naked man speaking gibberish?
I have been a long time player of the Necromancer and he was my favorite class. I actually really like the Witch Doctor who has a lot of the play style that I like. I think it will be a different and fun take on that style. They might bring the Necromancer back and they might not. If not then thats cool and if they do thats cool also. I'm totally going to give the WD a try. I can't wait to send rabid dogs after people and have them explode.
"Besides, who wants to be a dancing naked man speaking gibberish?"
Me!
The Necromancer, while cool, has been done a million times in other games...
I prefer the jungle dude for this game...little things like his restless animation while standing still. Like he's been possessed by dark spirits or something + voodoo is cool.
Time to accept new changes, if you want necro so badly, go back to Diablo 2.
Why do some people keep bringing this up as an argument? Do you really think that just because it is change that it HAS to be good?

Sure the barb is tall prud, magnificent loud mouthed, brute force, jumping and cleaving killing machine. But what else? It's just like the barb from D2 only with better graphical displays.
Now look at the WD. Sure he may be hunched and look strange, but which other class can summons pets, then use their own OFFENSIVE spells on them to ENHANCE their abilities in combat? And I'm sure this is just the beggining. IIRC the Mongrels can be enhanced with fire as well. Now imagine a Mongrel set on fire, running into a crowd of monsters, just to be exploded into a burst of magical energies and fire to everyone close to it? Now imagine 10 of those running into a pack of monsters! It's like recastable suicide bombers!
If that's what the barb so far has to compete with the future of that class looks grim. Especially when/if a pure caster class is implemented. Before bashing him because of the looks or him "replacing" the Necro, think about what he can offer. When is the last time you saw a Necro combine abilities like that into a deadly combo...?
Thought so...

Don't tell me skills like that isn't more exciting than the Necros? Don't take it wrong, I really like the Necro class, but imo it can't compete with something like that, and guess what, there may still be room for a Necro in the game.

I just can't identify with a freakin' jungle boy dressed like an idiot.
yet you can identify with a guy who raise skeletons? I dont want to know what you do in your spare time...
anyway to the point im glad there are people who are open minded about the WD. People have to understand that with a new game comes change, and all though they are not very likely to put the necromancer in, the witchdoctor seems very similar. "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" no? essentially, people are arguing over the name and flavor it seems. if it makes the negative people feel better just think of the witch doctor as a feral necro.
and on the casting speed of the firebomb, i have a feeling that most ranged spells will be this slow, that way spellcasters cant just dance around the combat anymore. also slow casting time would make a more reasonable Teleport.
Witchdoctor, not so bad
+ voodoo is cool.
