It was a disappointment that there are only 5 classes in D3. I think the witch-doctor is a bad replacement for the undead-caster. Most importantly, he is a waste of one of the five precious classes.
Why?
Primary reason:
He looks so weird and ugly. The closest word to describing him is gay.
His class name even sounds gay, it doesnt sound dark at all! I would much prefer the warlock, shaman, and best of all, the necromancer.
I am not a hardcore fan of the necromancer, but if you are going to replace such a meaningful class, please choose wisely.
Why does the witch doctor have a fireball spell? THIS DOESNT MAKE SENSE. Fire should remain unique to the sorceress (unless you have elemental traps like the assassin in d2).
But a plain fireball spell?
I like the undead wall. The mongrels, locust swarm, horrify and other spells are pretty gay.
Just my thought. I have to admit, the WD Looks pretty ugly. His spells seem all over the place.
The barbarian totally overshadowed the WD in the gameplay trailer.
1) Blizzard never said the WD was a replacement for the Necro.
2)The WD isn't supposed to be a "Dark" class.
3)It's a firebomb, its supposed to be a voodoo concoction that explodes.
4)Don't even worry about spells and looks right now by the time D3 comes out the WD will probably have a new look and the spells will be rounded out and of course the barb overshadowed the WD, it's a returning character that Blizzard has had more experience with and they would't want the fans to be disapointed with it.
