Am I the only one that actually thinks the witchdoctor is a good idea?
I mean, I like what they've done with him and how he looks, nothing like any troll from warcraft... (the only similarities they share is coming from the same source of inspiration). If they keep the same voice and give the character some depth by using the storyline I think they have a character that might even come close to the coolness of the necromancer.
I know he will never replace him,but a necromancer with new skills would have been just as bad to most people here...
I only hope more classes will be replaced and upgraded so well.
but bringing back the coolness of the necromancer would be cooler

Nope, i like the witch doctor, the skills they have displayed so far i am impressed with.

Although the game isn't finished yet, it does look like they have this character pretty much figured out (there are 10 skills visible in the skill tab). Anyone notice the incomplete texturing on the female WD headdress?
Actually, I am positive that if the Necromancer was in D3, looked like a Necromancer and had all new skills all related to death, we would all be perfectly happy.
It's not the skills that we are questioning. And it isn't really the art design of the Witchdoctor. It is the fact that this looks like an attempt to replace the Necromancer. Notice I said attempt. The lore isn't there, the skills are halfway Necro and half something else, and the feel of him isn't quite dark enough.
I think it's close minded to view the character list as "replacing" or "removing". They are just making a new character list. They may not even have a necromancer-like character, nor do they need one. Diablo I never had one.

on topic: i think the witch dioctor is fine either way just let us decide what makeup he wears.
but bringing back the coolness of the necromancer would be cooler
