I was a little disappointed to see that the Witch Doctor's skill set likely means that there won't be a Necromancer in the game. I always really liked the feel of the Necromancer, so seeing the crazed savage sort of look of the Witch Doctor takes away some of that. However, I DO like that they have come up with a good way to handle corpse (or minion!) explosion without the need for corpses to start from. That should be an entertaining skill to use! It seems like they took the pet design and fire attacks of the druid and matched it with the poison, bone and fear attacks of the necromancer in making the Witch Doctor. I will look forward to seeing how that works out.
The Witch Doctor looks to combine a bit of the Necromancer and Druid skills and the mind controlling skill of the Assassin. I'm wondering what the other classes will be like like, should be interesting.
