The Witchdoctor seems to be lacking when compared to all the other classes in all the videos Ive watched.

I think it's just that his spells seems slow. Wall of Zombies: doesn't move. Summons: AI is always slower than a human at killing stuff. Fireball: lobs it. That disease spell that jumps from enemy to enemy (can't remember the name): short range, and it's a DoT. The horrify or whatever spell: you only use something like that if you can't kill enemies quickly. That's all the skills I can think of atm. Yes, we haven't seen all his skills, but really the other classes seem superior if you want to kill stuff in a hurry.

You might be right about that. The witch doctor may be a bit slow, or at least it takes him a while to warm up in a fight. He has to do a bunch of things before the damage really starts flowing, but I think that's just a different style of play and approach. I could see it potentially being an issue though if he's just lagging behind in damage output. I haven't heard any recent comparisons but for a while he was edging out the wizard and barb for damage done.

I don't think he's boring or lagging behind the other classes in cool skills though. http://www.diablowiki.net/Witch_Doctor_skills (Fansite reporting on skills, I haven't verified it's all 100% accurate but it looks pretty good at a glance)

But to each their own, I think the witch doctor has a lot of appeal but I think it's ok if not everyone is super excited about every class.
