The Witchdoctor seems to be lacking when compared to all the other classes in all the videos Ive watched.

It's a troll rating.

Since I'm sure you don't get it...

You're not doing anything which could be considered remotely constructive in terms of feedback, or discussion.

I'd explain further, but... you know... don't feed the troll.

That's because they have not shown the skill which can summon a Fetish Army.

I think he is very much up to par! I've been going over his skills and thinking about different builds to make, and he seems very powerful. On top of that, we don't know what half his skills do: Hex? Fetish army? etc...

Maybe you should include some facts and or examples to strengthen your argument.. such as.

"I noticed in the barbarian video blahblah blah, while in the WD video blah blah blah"
"i felt that blah blah was strong while blah blah doesnt work for reasons 1) blah blah 2) blah blah"

That way if there was even an off chance that blizz took your post into consideration they would actually know what you disliked and what you thought they could improve.

I"ll agree that of the 4 classes, we know the least about the WD's skills. Bu have faith, I'm sure he'll have some stuff way more bad@ss then just crowd control and cannon fodder pets.

I think it's just that his spells seems slow. Wall of Zombies: doesn't move. Summons: AI is always slower than a human at killing stuff. Fireball: lobs it. That disease spell that jumps from enemy to enemy (can't remember the name): short range, and it's a DoT. The horrify or whatever spell: you only use something like that if you can't kill enemies quickly. That's all the skills I can think of atm. Yes, we haven't seen all his skills, but really the other classes seem superior if you want to kill stuff in a hurry.

You might be right about that. The witch doctor may be a bit slow, or at least it takes him a while to warm up in a fight. He has to do a bunch of things before the damage really starts flowing, but I think that's just a different style of play and approach. I could see it potentially being an issue though if he's just lagging behind in damage output. I haven't heard any recent comparisons but for a while he was edging out the wizard and barb for damage done.

I don't think he's boring or lagging behind the other classes in cool skills though. http://www.diablowiki.net/Witch_Doctor_skills (Fansite reporting on skills, I haven't verified it's all 100% accurate but it looks pretty good at a glance)

But to each their own, I think the witch doctor has a lot of appeal but I think it's ok if not everyone is super excited about every class.

Why am I actually posting in this thread? :P
