    Normal posted a message on Pking is probably out. Bashiok comments.
    I don't understand what the big deal is. Someone went hostile in D2, you A: make a portal B: leave the game C: make private games/play with friends.

    Also I'm not hating on necros. They are my favorite class next to the assassin. Kudos to blizzard for going out side the box on this one. I think it's better over all for the game, rather than giving us d2 redone with better graphics

    To me they have similar skills, but the Witch Doctor is more like a hybrid Druid\Necromancer.


    Here's my real concern, and Blizzard team, I do hope you view these forums from time to time:

    Diablo is set in a Dark fantasy world. It's style has been successful because of the gothic, predominantly western european medieval environments. The Witch Doctor is not dark, gothic, or anywhere remotely close to the traditional European medieval style which made Diablo so creepy-good. Why not just give us "Tanto of the American Indian Hunters", or "Xerxes and his Persian Immortals"? All the necro-haters don't care right now, but wait until the sorcerer\sorceress is replaced by the "Australian Aboriginal Shamman".

    Obviously I like history and diverse cultures, but the Witch Doctor is a very contrived class targeted at one ethic and cultural group based on the real earth. What about basing characters on the Diablo books and lore? Last I checked, Sanctuary doesn't have America, Persia, or Australia - or Africa. Keep it that way.

    All I'm saying is, don't sacrifice the successful feel of the previous games for a couple of flashy sounding classes.

    I think you're taking it to the extreme here. The whole of Act3 in D2 is contradictory to what you are saying. It's absolutely plausible to introduce a class like the which doctor to the story line.

    The Witch Doctors have nothing to do with preserving the balance or Trag'oul! Witch Doctors are just cheap Necromancer knock-offs.

    it's too early to say what role they will play really

    Wouldn't you show the same level of interest if they reintroduced the Necromancer with a new assortment of spells, including a few old favorites?

    They did. The class is called the Which Doctor :cool:

    While i think of it here's something else. After watching the gameplay video i noticed that the items in the inventory is no longer a big image who shows the weapon completely but just a tiny square. I would like the items to appear bigger in the inventory so i can see and appreciate the artwork, especialy the ones of the unique gear.

    hopefully it shows a larger version when you mouse over it or something... i'd gladly take more room in my inventory over cool art

    im willing to bet we are going to see more than one class that breaks the mold of d1 and d2 traditional classes as we know it... my jaw dropped as soon as i saw the which doctor. honestly if it was just another same old same old d2 necro i wouldn't have been as impressed with the direction the game is going

    No, they aren't. If you knew your lore and diablo literature, you would know better than to say such an ignorant thing.

    Which Doctors practice:
    Necromancy


    therefore they are:

    Necromancers



    I don't think you can really apply the old lore to new lore in this case. Considering what we know so far, I don't think Blizzard is ultimately concerned with "old" Diablo lore. This is a new game with new concepts and story lines.

    Despite the Witch Doctor and the Necromancer sharing several characteristics, primarily of that which pertains to their ability to utilize the undead, they are two different character archetypes which can co-exist in the same game without making it seem as if there is two of the same class.

    unless they totally revamp the necro i don't know how you can honestly consider having a nerco class, as we know it currently, and a which doctor in the same game. it would be a waste of everyones time. the fans boys are just going to have to suck it up on this one.

    the witch doctor is actually a necromancer!

    I think Blizzard really has an opportunity here to push the online experience with the genre. Including online content updates, a GM presence, guilds events, pvp areas open to the public - basically pushing the hack and slash online experience more towards that of a traditional MMO

    Here's my ideal classes:

    Assassin/ranger mix - Think d2 assassin, meets d1 rouge.

    Wizard - summoning demons and using more arcane types of magic.

    Holy/Dark Knight - think paladin meets nerco - can choose between holy spells or unholy spells (think bone spells, direct damage, no summons) but still has a primary melee focus with auras
