the first one looks better, but i still want the necro back lol:necro::thumbsup:
I will be one to say that I would rather have the necro back myself. While the witch doctor seems fun and does have some more disease oriented abilities the necromancer had such a wealth of values behind balance. Tis a sad thing to see that they look to be the ones who are taking the brunt of the blame from the last Diablo incident.
As for the Witch Doctor I prefer, really the only difference I see is that the first one is a low ranked witch doctor look, while the other one has a lot more decoration to his outfit, showing status. If you think it doesn't fit go play the 3 act of Diablo II there are not only pigmies ( I hate those things.) but masked of that style throughout the place.

The model is a older, twitchy mumbling Witch Doctor.
The one I first posted is a younger, spunky and looks determined. The other witch doctor looks more possessed and mindless.
I'd say acts more than looks. The younger one definitely LOOKS like he's insane in the membrane. Not to mention he actually looks like he belongs in the Diablo verse.
lol, that first picture looks exactly like a troll from WoW... even the haircut's the same. With the shoulder sticks make's me think of a Troll Shaman.
There's an example but without the mohawk haircut you'd see on every troll in game.
Witch Doctor might be the successor to the Necromancer skill wise, but I hope he's not what they'll use to try to replace the Necromancer's coolness factor. In one panel the dev said that Necros were cool, and hard to improve upon, and in another they were talking about the grayness of character's moralities, like the Necro and Assassin... so I hope they'll make somebody dark and cool.
As for the skill part... I might miss me skeletinks and golems, but the Witch Doctor skills kick ass, imo

All africans are like that..
