The Voodoo That I Do beta Witch Doctor Experience

Originally, we had extended over the full release coverage over many different issues with the beta, but planned with the limited amount of game, it would exhaust all of our material very quickly. Instead, we have decided to go deeper into each area to give better care. I'll start with detailed play-throughs with each class to give you an idea of ??how every class feels and plays. I've done that already with the Demon Hunter if you want, you to read that one here. This time we will focus on the Witch Doctor.

The Witch Doctor is a mix between a load of middle class with a bit of ranged magic skills. The ability to do both equally well, is not forced the player to choose either to focus. With that said, I focus on the aspect of the convening of Witch Doctor. Regardless of whether your enemies with zombies, choose fire or poison to kill, will play the Witch Doctor is a fun class.

Mana is the Witch Doctor resource. Mana is similar to the way mana traded in Diablo II There is a large pool that increases as character level increases. Higher level skills and abilities more than lower costs more mana damage spells. After exhausting your mana, the world will slowly fill up completely, otherwise obscure, that fills much more quickly. Keep the Witch Doctor also has many passive abilities and options to help him, his mana replenished and not wait for them to slowly fill itself is. Of my piece by the Witch Doctor, all had cost only one skill so little mana that I actually unlimited able to spam any skill. I'm sure at higher levels that will not be true, but for starters, it is virtually unlimited. However, if the resource has been emptied, it was very harmful for the world to wait to fill in, especially in fighting the Skeleton King. Will find the management of these resources and ways to build it quickly back will definitely play an important strategy to this class.

More specifically, the abilities that use mana to be cast. Players are starting to use the two spells given. The first is Zombie Dogs, which is the first of two permanent invitation to the witch doctor has. Change since the first version will always be the Witch Doctor cast three zombie dogs, which follow in order for your bids. The AI ??has been significantly improved since Diablo II, and no longer annoy you when you walk your cargo blind to see in the corner of a room. You see, fight and kill everything near them. Personally, with emphasis on the summons, I have this ability for most of the beta to help me plow through the larger mobs. The second ability, you get to start with his poison darts. It's a nice ranged spell that I used for a while as a fundamental attack from a distance. The next skill is achieved Plague of frogs, toads, a group of releases with poison damage.However, the ability is difficult to operate because their pathfinding is unpredictable and very short range. As I was trying to keep my distance, I found this ability is of little benefit. Grasp of the Dead was the next skill you get. This skill slows down movement of enemies. Given the third slot at this time, I have to help it on the monster, they slow down, so my zombie dogs attack they could facilitate.But at such a low level, the movement speed reduction was not considerable.Haunt was the next skill that a rich single-target DoT's. Haunt was useful to be cast on a couple of monsters, zombies while the dogs went after the group. The nice thing about the ability, if the monster while still die the DoT to transfer the favorite spot to the next monster. This allows you threw it a few times, but it was still really effective with some monsters die quickly. I ended up with this, as my right click for most of the beta.

Zombie Charger is the next skill you get, the short range zombies before you run for a short distance attack anything in its path. There is very short range, however, and I stay away, I've rarely used the skill. Hex followed, which called a fetish shaman, that monster would turn around to run in chickens. Unless you think it is CC, it was pretty ineffective because there was only one monster at a time, as it usually five minutes to ten. However, the nice part about the ability to break chicken'd not monsters when they are damaged and actually do more damage if altered. If on the world champion and harder monsters used, it helped them to sink quickly, while not in a position, everything was done. Corpse Summon Spider is a temporary, which are released several spiders that attacked near monsters.Although I wanted to concentrate on each invitation, made their temporary status is irrelevant, for I had a few skill slots available. Your horror, "Oh shit" button when she is surrounded by larger groups. A quick way to avoid a quick death. Once more skill slots are available, could I imagine that it is very useful. However, the beta has only three minutes to make four skill slots very important election and I did not end up using it much. The last skill I got was Firebats, filed a brief AoE that attacked anything before the Witch Doctor. The offer was actually surprisingly large and the damage that was impressive by plane and was my main attack. It mowed down most monsters in seconds. However, since there is a channeling spell, it was the first time I actually saw how my mana drain. There are a few more skills that are available for the beta, but I do not have to reach a higher level ... yet.
