So far Blizzard has announced 4 of the 5 character classes. Unlike D1 and D2 but similar to World of Warcraft, you can choose a gender for your characters and will not be restricted. This article will describe the very basics of what Blizzard has announced for these four character classes.
Witch Doctor: The Witch Doctor has five major skills that have been announced:
- Firebomb
- Horrify
- Locust swarm
- Mass confusion
- Soul harvest
From the gameplay videos the witch doctor looks like a sorceress / necromancer hybrid, without any sort of undead summoning but strong dark arts spells (similar to the necromancer).
