I was not the original poster it was posted on another thready by pipebomb. I looked around and there is no reverse search possible and the original link was taken down by Blizzard. Judging by the artwork it looks similar to the new background on the Diablo III page. Thoughts?
I've always felt that the Witch doctor was the necro, with other possible/viable spell versions. I don't see them releasing a necro in d3 as it adds little to the game... potentially a new class with more content might make sense. If it was a necro, how could they make it different than what witch doctor does?
I really hope there will be new expansion and Necromancer. If they change some WDs skills like haunt etc, it will make perfect sense. Necromancer was my the most favorite char in Diablo 2 and I would really like to see him in Diablo 3
Necro is pointless. We already have Witch Doctor and it's basically the same.
I WISH SOME OF YOU WOULD READ OTHER POSTS INSTEAD OF POSTING NONSENSE IRRATIONAL COMMENTS!!!!!

If you played Necro in D2, you would know they are maybe 5% the same class in that they both summon something. So is the Barb the same as WD because he summons Ancients? is a Wizard the same as WD because they summon hydra's and a familiar? Is a Monk the same as WD because they summon mystic's? Is a Sader the same as WD because he can summon Avatars? Is a DH the same as WD because he has a companion?
The clear answer is NO, they are not the same. If you knew the lore of the Necromancer you would know that he functions more so like a tank than a weak int hero. He uses curses, not disease (huge difference) and he also uses bones to shield himself or damage enemies. He provides several useful aura's whether they be to do damage, provide some cc, or provide some resistance. Clearly, the Necro is NOT THE WD
You people need to stop being irrational with your thought process.
does not work.
Also = it will be in HoTs, not in Diablo
First off, this necro looks nothing like Xul
Second, it already IS in HoTs
Third, the chain of evidence via the hyperlinks last night were out of DIABLO content
Fourth, the presence of a FEMALE Necromancer clearly states this is D3 related material, not D2 as the D2 Necro was Male.
Fifth, I get that people want to build a wall to prevent let down, but when there is obvious evidence and a smoke trail, there is typically a fire.
what if...they have d2.5 and made sure you can play both male, and female versions of the characters?
When you remake games, you keep the core.
That would not be keeping the core. It could potentially be the main hero in a new Diablo game though? But I can assure you it has nothing to do with D2 in any way shape or form.

An old interview with Jay Wilson back before Diablo 3 was released.
"We are trying to design the Witch Doctor class so that if we did bring back the Necromancer, there's room for him. We're looking out ahead of time at what our expansions are going to be, so we've got to keep room open for some of those other classes down the road."
Given the fact that i only played necro in d2 i will be ecstatic if they do release the necro in a new expansion/major content patch(it will most likely be an expansion). Can't wait to play him!

What if they are adapting D2 to the D3 engine (which is already in-place) that supports male and female characters. Would you rather not use that feature?
What if they are bringing us back to Diablo 2 in a new Diablo 3 expansion? I think this more plausible. They are celebrating the anniversary so what better way to celebrate than to give us some Diablo 2 easter eggs.
Unless it absolutely kicks ass, I'm going to be bummed if it's JUST a d2 remake. I'm hoping that because both male and female are shown, it's for either D3 or D4. The only thing that makes me tilt my head on why a necromancer isn't because the WD already exists (I'm sure they'd both feel unique), but because ceremonial daggers as well as the iconic off hands already exist, and have WD powers.
Dammit Blizzard how hard is it to NOT accidentally post stuff? Now these couple days are going to feel even longer.

Adapting D2 to D3 engine is like building a whole new game. It won't happen for sure.

You described 90% of the witch doctor in your description of the necromancer.
