Ultimate Evil Edition Q&A at E3
And while we're on the topic of E3, a Q&A is coming soon!

Hello, everyone!
As some of you may or may not know, we'll be showcasing Ultimate Evil Edition on the PS4™ all this week at E3. If you're attending the convention, definitely swing by Booth #4522 in the West Hall and say "Hi!". We'd love to mercilessly slaughter a few thousands demons with you, and of course answer any questions you might have about the game.
This Wednesday, a few of us community managers will also be taking some time to sit down and chat with our console developers at the show. What will we talk about? Well, that's entirely up to you! We'll be treating our interview time as a community Q&A, where all the questions we ask will be submitted by you, our players. We'll follow up with the answers later this week, once the convention has concluded.
So! What do you want to know about the Ultimate Evil Edition? Submit your question below, or feel free to tweet it to @Diablo using the #D3E3 hashtag. While there's no limit on the number of questions you can ask, we can't guarantee that all questions will be answered. We’ll certainly do our best to answer as many as possible, though.
Blizzard Aiming For More Item-Based Builds
An official forum user made a thread asking for other class sets to be buffed, and for the Witch Doctor not to be nerfed. Nevalistis replied to reassure the player base that they're constantly analysing end-game class balance and feedback, and will be making changes and adding items to make sure other classes are as compelling.

The Witch Doctor is currently very strong. That is awesome, and we're happy to hear Witch Doctor players are having a blast with their characters and that players who have never considered playing the Witch Doctor before are giving it a whirl.
The Witch Doctor's current level of power comes largely from the powerful items they have available. Ideally, we'd like all classes to have fun and powerful item builds and that means taking a look at what equipment is available. This is something we’re actively pursuing, and while some of the other classes are almost there, others have some additional room for growth. We've already mentioned some of the upcoming Monk set changes we have on the way, but they aren't the only class we’re keeping a watchful eye on. Ultimately, we'd like to strive for a place where each class has an equal crack at end game success, especially with Seasons and Tiered Rifts on the near horizon. It’s likely each class will accomplish that in different ways, because they are inherently so different from one another, and that’s okay!
Allow me to caveat the above with the fact we won't get there overnight. This is an overarching development goal, and a continuing journey rather than a destination. Our work is never truly done, especially because we have every intention of continuing to make awesome items. On our way through this ongoing process, we appreciate your feedback.
I'm def buying
People just can't see it, I mean if for example Jade WD wouldn't do so much dmg by soul harvest, he would waste too much time on elites and bosses that he will become shit and will be down to the lvl of monks. Jade has insane burst, but it isn't even the best build out there. Pet doctor, I mean it's self explanatory, of course you want your pets to do their things. I mean why would Blizzard add 10 game changing items to WD pets if they didn't want WD to play pet builds? I mean if they would be much slower on T6 they could just go back to T5 and T4, and why would T6 be there if we shouldn't farm it? T6 should be farmable.
I still think some classes need more survival changes. For example I have a decent gear on my crusader, but I still get absolutely wrecked on T6, I have the dmg but I'm like a little butterfly that gets crashed on in T6, T5 is fine though rare deaths. I can't figure out where to get more survival except from gems, which I'm actually doing. I have 2 78 allres gems in my pants to make up for my boots and pants.
Try and Argue , Its all good because i know you know i am right, Only fools try to defend a losing cause. I am doing it right now with my WD. Stack CD reducion and spam soul harvent to win. Grave injustice is your friend. It's so easy i go into T6 with just 2 skills on my bar and watch everyone -.- yet cant even come near my DPS.
