#1 Bob_no_Oni Mar 30, 2015 16:27:34	Greetings everyone,   I am wanting to figure out a Witch Doctor themed character for the next season of Adventurer's League (Elemental Evil). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work? I am looking at what popular culture believes them to be, along with being along the lines of the Diablo 3 class. Thank you for any assistance.

#3 Bob_no_Oni Mar 30, 2015 17:21:50	Best description I could do are the following, copied directly from the source.   Diablo 3: "Witch doctors are spiritual warriors who summon dead souls and crawling creatures to do their bidding. By surrounding themselves with conjured zombies and vermin, witch doctors are free to assault their enemies with exploding skulls, acrid poison clouds, and wasting curses.   The ability to infect, slow and terrify their enemies gives witch doctors unprecedented control over a battlefield. They can manipulate opposing attacks and movements with debuffs and crowd control spells, rendering enemies easy prey for hungry pets. Witch doctors can also lay down fields of fire and venom that slowly leech life from advancing foes.   Although some witch doctors avoid melee combat in favor of augmenting their pets and crippling their enemies from afar, they are also more than capable of slaying weakened foes with their own hands."   And another description, based on the same thing: "Witch Doctors are spiritual warriors who summon dead souls and crawling creatures to do their bidding. By surrounding themselves with a mix of conjured zombies and vermin, Witch Doctors are free to assault their enemies with exploding skulls, acrid poison clouds, and wasting curses. Through their connection to the Unformed Land, Witch Doctors are able to tap into mana. Although some Witch Doctors avoid melee combat in favor of augmenting their pets and crippling their enemies from afar, they are also more than capable of slaying weakened foes with their own hands. This includes the use of mojos and enchanted ceremonial daggers. Unlike common knives, these blades are honed towards one purpose – human sacrifice – and so they are well-suited to ending lives."

#6 Coredump00 Mar 31, 2015 4:43:33	heh... that is a very different Witch Doctor than I was imagining...   IIRC, the best Necromancer is a cleric....or talk to DM and see if you could use Druid and assume your Summon Animals only summoned undead animals.   Could MC into Warlock maybe....
