First expansion hinting: Witch Doctor

Torajan Jungles and Teganze Plains

Are the two leaked zones in diablo 4 files right now.

I honestly hope they don’t do witch Doctor, i love necromancer but refuse to play it since pets are so terrible in diablo 4

Getting another class with pets sounds like a terrible idea, on top of the fact getting witch Doctor over Monk or Holy Warrior class is a hell of a decision.

What leak? /20chars…

Wowhead posted about it just now.

New zones are already in the games files. Safe to say it is for the first expansion not season 3 or 4

We have druid and necro.
What do people want? Witch doctor.

Yeah get Necro minions right first then think about Witch Doctor. We need a Paladin themed class. There are already 3 casters.

It just seems more likely with us going to the birthplace of The witch doctors for the first expansion.

Also us getting monk or paladins would be wierd when we haven’t really seen them in diablo 4 yet but there was that one pivotal witch Doctor character we engaged with in the story.

Even though i am monk fanboy, any class would be cool. In the end I am sure we will get them all eventually.

just because there is a jungle zone does not mean we’d get a corresponding class.

next class imo would be some kinda heavy armor, shield using, tanky class, or a holy class just from what archetypes are missing right now, doesn’t matter if its a paladin(would fit both), crusader or just a knight whatever it’ll be called.
witchdoctor has too many overlaps with necro and druid to come as the 6th class.

It could also be for an Amazon.

I think people forget the crusades went everywhere to “convert” people, could easily see Paladin or Crusader coming along to teach those jungle dwellers the way.

There were a lot of great non-pet related WD builds in D3. I think it could be very cool in D4 if it was a mix of dots & pets.

I think Paladin needs to be added before any other class though. Would be cool to get 2 classes with an expansion but I can’t see that happening.

It isn’t just a jungle zone but the actual lore of the place and the storyline of possibly saving Lorath from the tree of whispers by maybe working with the Witch Doctor of the area.

Ehh to my understanding all these holy orders have fallen apart in the diablo 4 universe… there’s no prominent holy force.

I “knew” practically since the D4’s launch that they will expand the map southwards, since it just makes perfect sense if you are familiar with Sanctuary’s map:

The jungles are indeed home of the Witch Doctors, but in the south there’s also Kurast, which is where D2’s Paladins originate from. It’s also where we fought Mephisto in D2.

They shouldn’t do Witch Doctor first, probably not even second, and I don’t suspect they would, but after they add a holy class and/or another melee class, they should definitely consider bringing on some sort of Witch Doctor if they can figure out the thematic elements to make it properly distinct from the Necro. WD was definitely my favorite class in D3 and I’d love to see them come back. :partying_face:

i wonder why do we have a Havezar and we dont even have the ancient city Ureh

wd`s originated from those swamp lands true but dont you think we rather miss “holy warior” class ?

in a game about slaying demons ?
yeah, my guess goes for torajan jungles (maby skovos island ?) and ah oly class

Haven’t really seen “Paladins” yet? Literally the first major city you encounter has a cult of zealous Knights. The first major campaign story follows them. They appear throughout the campaign and game world. You have Inquisitors, Errant Knights, Pyramid Head Knights, the whole works. They already have Shields in the game which do not thematically even fit with Necro that much.

So, yeah, they have Paladins and I can guarantee you that is the first Class dropped since it is overwhelmingly the most popular class in the franchise as well as almost any RPG. The only reason it was not released at release is they know it is a massive hook to get players to and back to the game. Will it be called Paladin? Maybe not, but for all intents and purposes, that is what the class is. It will just have some nerdy lore explanation of why it is totally “not a Paladin”.

They not adding witch doctor. Just a witch this time. With sleep, curse and lifesteal. No pets expect from bats which is sort of a buffer only
