Thread: Necro vs Witchdoctor

I would have to go with Necromancer also. Withdoctors are more voodoo and Necromancers are more dark. Diablo Is not a Voodoo world.

Witchdoctors to me don't fit the mold~~ necro plz

necro sounds cooler imo

I am about to start a new necro on D2 East Ladder/Softcore as soon as I MF some gear XD

My first character was a necro. Infact, I'd have to say he's my favorite class. I just want somethig different. Kurast gave me the voodoo vibe the entire act though.

Now... don't get me wrong, but i've got to vote "WitchDoctor" Only because I believe that Diablo is ready for a Voodoo, type character... Also, If you remember in act 3 of D2... there were a lot of tribal attributes to the Act... so I do think that there is plenty of room in the DIABLO world for both, Necromancer and WitchDoctor.

(and you can't deny it...the WitchDoctor's skills look SOOOOOOO SICK!!!)

Indeed.
Got a sort of barbarian grim ward sort of skill too which sorta rules ^^.
The wall of zombies looks really awesome too, As I gleamed upon the trailers one fateful night and saw that wall of zombies appear, my eyes widened with astonishment and amazement..
What I am uncertain and nervous about is a sorceress... If there will be a magic-based character, what will the attributes be like? Warlock-y or crazy mad-hatter overkill magic?
After seeing what they did with the Barbarian, I gotta say, if any character is going to be magic based, they may scrap the whole idea of being JUST able to cast a magic spell that destroys them in a single hit, and go for the idea of cursing enemies so they have no hope of dealing any damage and so forth.

All that off-topic aside, I have to vote Witch Doctor.
The aspect of Act 3 having more a tribal feel, I agree with.
I always imagined a jungle-based character in the world of Diablo 2, after seeing Act 3, wondering if the character would be able to activate certain areas specific to that character, like a voodoo cursed teleportation device, or a hidden area where only a witch doctor could go, and there be a class-specific boss for each class to defeat.
the witch doctor certainly does bring up some new and unique ideas

I may be wrong, but the witch doctor looks like something out of a crossbreed between the necro and the druid
