As we near Blizzcon 2010 this October, Blizzard is committed to upping the hype for Diablo's biggest Blizzcon yet! Twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday, to shed away those mid-week blues, Twitter and Facebook will be highlighting in-game gear:

Enjoy a behind the scenes look at a gear set from Diablo III every Tue/Thur leading up to #BlizzCon
The first being a quick look at a set of Witch Doctor equipment:
It's good to finally see content again, and this plethora of images is only the icing on the cake. Keep up-to-date on all of these developments as we reach Blizzcon here at DiabloFans, and get instant on-site updates off the official Diablo Twitter by checking out our Twitter feed here!
(Also, I think it's really amazing how tribal he actually looks. Nothing too outlandishly unrealistic ftw.)
UPDATE:
First off, we now know exactly what class and gender they will be revealing over the next few weeks.

Along with the schedule, Bashiok further commented on the actual gear presented. First, that this gear set is around mid-range. So for anyone worried about this being the Witch Doctor's top-end gear, worry not. However, for those hoping this was the first level, sorry. Another comment he made was how the dye system would effect this particular armor. As it has already been stated, only certain pieces of the armor can be dyed. Bashiok said that the redish-orange pieces of the armor would be the pieces effected by dyes. Non-armor related, he also revealed that the Witch Doctor is able to wield all two-handed weapons. Lastly, he also stated that this "set" of gear is not an actual set. Meaning that it is not a set with a particular name and stats attached to it. It it more like the leather, gothic, full plate, type of set. Which is also good news for those worrying about its style and epic-ness.
DUDE THAT BLOCK WITH A x THROUGH IT IS ABSALUTLEY AMAZING FOR THE WITCH DOCTOR!! Almost makes it seem broken

I *think* they aren't doing leggings, anymore, even though there was a slot for it in the first GUI's shown. I believe the most recent cut it out. I have to get to work, though, so maybe someone else can help you out with a pic of the latest equipment GUI/news.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.

Artisan trailer has pants just below the belt and above the boots.
Yes, we still have pants. That would be silly to vanquish demons in our underwear. So I assume that the leg bracers are part of the pants graphics. The better question is what does the look like with shoes on ?

Refreshing indeed to get some pictures! It's funny how this tiny picture is such a huge thing now, and when Blizzcon hits it'll be nothing. Blizzard really knows how to hype stuff up with minimal amount of "resources".
Has there been a picture of the Witch Doctor with boots or any sort of shoe like item on? I can only recall him bare foot.
I wonder if boots all have an alternative image for him where they look like little ankle braclets/coverings/armor.
Hm.. yea interesting point.. Could very well be that they will do that. If they are going for a bare foot witch doctor. It does seem a little bit strange though, even though it fits with the image of a with doctor it's not very practical. Maybe boots just isn't included in the set that they show off here.
That looks bland, but I guess that's what people want? lol
I think the same thing could be said about the lower level in all games. If you look at other Blizzard games that feature armor like Diablo 2 and WoW, you would say that the lower level armor looks really bland and unimaginative.
I would actually be kind of upset if I was wearing things that looked really awesome at level 10-20. I think it's very important that items start out looking very normal and then gain size, color, graphics, etc. as they become more powerful and higher in level.
That's my opinion at least.
I would however be VERY upset if this was the Witch Doctor's high end set. That would be a pretty big let down.
Oh I see what you did there. Making the picture work then making me look like I am mentally challenged. Ok Mr.GENIOUS!! lol

i like both pictures. but truely i think the environment of diablo 3 will also play a factor on visibility of the character. if you were to put the darker bloodied one in a diablo 3 environment, i dont think it would look as good.

Just a thought =]
this exactly.
environment plays a major part to how you'll see your character. darker environment with darker colored characters and darker colored monsters (as quite a few have been suggesting since the announcement) equals to seeing nothing and enjoying even less.

Let's hope it looks better from a higher camera view.
Embrace this moment. Remember...
