With being anxiously awaiting for the release date of Diablo 3, I've became interested in one of their newer class which is the Witch Doctor. And I cannot express how much I think that would be a cool addition to the series.

I've kinda wanted to enter that "Create a character" competition this site had a while back with my creation of a witch doctor character that had moves compiled of acid, undead and voodoo.

This was before the Witch Doctor in Diablo 3 had majority of their moves released to the public, and I thought that adding a combination of moves we've seen in MK could be a great addition to the series.

So, we have a wall of zombies that the doctor could make that would last for a few seconds that could both inflict and prevent damage taken. Adding the enhance would cause the zombies to vomit acid against the opponent or probably lasting a bit longer than the un-enhance version.

We also have a hex ability which morphs the opponent into some kind of animal for a few seconds which prevents the opponent from attacking. An enhanced version of the move would also be inflicting pain to the opponent.

Next would be an acid bolt where it would just splatter against the opponent doing minor damage. While the enhanced version also inflicts damage over time effects for a few second, which also makes the bolt turn into a ray of acid.

A few other moves were poisonous dart, causing damage over time, enhance would increase the amount of darts blown at the opponent. And a zombie hand coming out from the ground, holding the opponent in place while the enhance also inflicts damage. So I added five moves to this character, yeah there was help from another game, but creating it in a way where it could work wouldn't be so much of being referred to a copy and paste kind of moves from two different games.

Another cool character could be some sort of animal morpher, even though we don't have Shang Tsung's morphing abilities back amongst us in a way. But I was thinking somewhere down the line where the character could be able to morph into several animals all having some sort of elemental effects to their moves. So a snake or a spider could whip out something poisonous to a cheetah or tiger having some sort of swiping move to where it could cause a bleeding effect which would be referred to as a damage over time move, a giant animal could ground pound to stun the opponent to where a flying animal could have some sort of flying ability as well as shoot a projectile from above.

It's interesting to come up with moves that we've never really seen yet established in MK, since so many people claim that there's nothing but "stolen" moves from each character. Nah, we could create our own right?

How about the structural ability to heaal yourself while fighting?
Seeing the future is always interesting.
Manipulation of animals is a cool ability.
Ability to decompose and recompose at will (Rip off your arm and swing it like a club, or a good teleporter)
Intangibilty is epic in every way.
Ability to make OTHER things invisible.
Or the greates of all...
The ability to have a 100% well-thought out, non-contradictory storyline.

Well, they somewhat do have a healing ability for some of the characters such as Shang Tsung and Nitara. I thought so too, that they should incorporate some sort of healing ability, but the problem that kept popping up every time was "does this move need a certain limit on it?"

As a person who's trying to get into the animated world out there, I'm trying to design my own fighting game and thought that it would be cool to see a character to have a healing ability. However, I decided that the healing move could only be done twice in one round, and it cannot heal you all the way back to 100%. The healing move could either be where you can heal yourself as much as you can before the opponent hits you, causing you to break concentration from the move, and whatever health you restored back is what you got. Or the move could just heal a certain amount on you and that's that.

I know, I'm putting too much thought into this.

Another good abilty I thought of is the control of technology, like contoling robots or other moderne electrical appliances (Sektor and Cyrax's future master?), and yes that could be potentially helpful and powerful.

So I take it you have your character for the C-A-C contest?

Since Cyrax & Sektor are cyborgs, how about we have more?

- Poisons/toxins - pollution, oil, acid, chemicals
- Metal/Iron/Weaponry - Chains & chainsaws & other bladed weapons
- Magnetism - magnetic hold
- Gravity - create black holes, bind enemies
- Technology - computer viruses, vehicles, military weaponry

I think the witch doctor character would be cool. I like the idea so much I might draw him (I'll do him justice, unless it's a girl?)!

This is a VERY intelligent idea, It would be an awesome nemesis for Nightwolf.

And this is a quick drawing I made for the "Witch Doctor"
In game name: Dr. Witiu

Why was I thinking about Harley Quinn while drawing this?
