| It will be interesting to see how Blizzard copes with this issue. Obviously, as El Flesh mentions, there is a brigade of Diablo 2 players who loved the necromancer and would really like to see him making a return in Diablo 3. However, on the other hand, change often is for the better; you might end up liking the witch doctor even more than the necromancer.
I wonder how different their abilities will be. Hopefully Blizzard will not disappoint us and provide very few new skills – I personally would like to see a whole new variety of skills brought into play. It was certainly fun to be able to summon ridiculous amounts of skeletons but this could get very annoying when trying to pass through narrow areas such as the stairs at the entrance to the Arcane Sanctuary. I am sure whatever Blizzard decides to do, the witch doctor will have plenty of abilities to keep players happy. I don’t personally think that it is a character I will be using too often though. The necromancer was fun to play around with in Diablo 2 but I never really got into using him much – my speciality was the sorceress. |
