Witchdoctor actually fits into the Diablo world so far - I mean look at Act III in D2 - you have those fetishes and totem guys. So I don't think it's too farfetched. Those mobs used both fire and summoned (well, resurrected) monsters.
And I don't see how he's not dark. Voodoo and using spirits - that's pretty dark. Just look at his horrify spell - pretty creepy despite the cheesy animation.
And also, look on the WD animation on diablo3.com. Im sorry, but they made him look like a starving Ethiopian kid ((
Remember its not how he looks. Rather what he is capable of. If you looked at Diablo 2, the sorceress wasn't exactly a very intimidating looking character. It was more of what she could do.

Ya, but she was like a female character. But WD is just wrong......:D
I think beyond what a char can do, the apparence counts. He must be cool, not some kind of colored bird
Well realistically spraking we have to be true to the character. And that is how witchdoctors are. Their headgear is normally pretty colourful. Sometimes with feathers. Still pretty intimidating. Just google "witchdoctors" and look at the images.
Also if you remember the necro was pretty much just a guy with long white hair. Stilll a very fun class to play.

Witchdoctor reminds me of my friend's schizophrenic uncle
but seriously, if you look, ALL of the character classes in all the Diablo's have a one-word title. "Necromancer, paladin, rogue, warrior, barbarian, etc." And here we have a *GASP* 2-word class name (one that sounds gay, no less) thrown in, that looks like somebody from a Chinese new years festival parade or something
I think the reason people dont like him is because there not use to it but i think after a while theyll start to like the WD and when diablo 4 comes out 15 years from now haha theyll want the WD to stay

Neva! Im going to rip on that class since it releases the bitch-doctor. xD
This guy who started the thread posted once and never again. Clearly he was just trying to vent out his anger of the Witch Doctor, without any plan for discussion happening.
Its fine if you don't like it, but there's no need to call it or anything else 'gay' and start a whole new thread.
I actually love the witch doctor and his 'bird-like feathers'. I love everything about him: his name, is colours, his skills, his tribal-theme, his hunched back. Its awesome.
Anyway, I hope sammy is satisfied with his venting.
I was gonna close this thread... but I dunno, it doesn't seem too bad. Though there is a fair bit of negative energy here lol. Reading this thread has potential to inflict anger in people.
Just, try not to feel angry if other people don't like something that you do.
Hey, at least if noone else likes it then I'll have the WD all to myself
Alright, to the guy who corrected me saying WD is not the necro replacement.
Heres my answer:
Blizzard said they wanted 5 distinct classes, putting the necro and the wd in the game wont work because the wd raises dead, uses undead walls, and is pretty much a necro with a fireblast. If they do that, we'll have 2 necros, 1 good one and 1 uncool one (wd).
THEREFORE!!!
its quite obvious, WD is the new necro replacement. i also see a bit of Druid in the WD
i guess some of you are right, blizzard is prolly going to make a syk hero out of the witch doctor since hes our new necromancer. (i just hope he has stronger spells)
But i wish the necromancer would be like the barbarian, remade with new spells and abilities.
As the thread-starter i didnt say anything about the WD being "wowish"

O come on, dont be softening up. Alot of people here hate that gay character. We should be the first ones to be mocking him

Your post contributed nothing factual to the argument at present.

They also said directly that the Witch Doctor is not replacing the Necromancer.
The truth is that the WD is a great idea, but what make me feel bad, is that he stolen the necro's place among the playable heroes of Diablo 3.:(
Maybe i play with this WD, for the Blizzard Enterteiment.
I think they could have come up with more of a Diablo idea instead of WD as he is oozing with WarCraft style, but as far as what abilities he gets, I think it's a good move on Blizzard's part. I'm pretty sure they could have just revamped the Necromancer with new abilities and artwork, but then again, people would have bitched about that too.

And... what was the argument??? It was a thread created to flame and mock the flawed idea of WD. Again, that class is a big mistake! WD deserves to be mocked.:P
