WitchDoctor is a player who had played diablo for a while, although no longer uses this name in any situation. For the class, see Witch Doctor. This page is for some background information on the player.

Games

Diablo I

Diablo 1 was, and still is, my favorite for the atmosphere and the gameplay. I'm not like most who play the series; the lore > loot. Rogue (a bit cheesy, I know) is my class of choice, or the "Rogue Mage" considering all the spells I use in conjunction with arrows.

Diablo II

Diablo 2's a game I've played for quite some time... still play, in fact, including with a few single-player hardcore characters with weird builds these days (melee sorc in hardcore? You bet). On Bnet, alas, most of my characters have vanished, as have all my collections of gear over the years. As such, I'm left with my singleplayer chars, the highest level still existing being a level 67 druid. I might pop back into Battle.net at some point; I've already started up singleplayer, so why not.

Diablo III

Diablo 3's where the username WitchDoctor came from, mostly as a result of being unoriginal at the time (WitchDoctor#1834). My main chars were a wizard and a demon hunter, the wizard (Assur) being my main. I had a few more lower end characters.

I played from the early days of D3, before RoS, removal of the RMAH, rifts, one-build-characters... the game was far from perfect, but I rather liked it. I threw out items to lower level folks, gave them all my money, basically shot myself in the foot for going up to high levels. Diablo's story has always been an appeal to me, and I was never too fond of where Diablo 3 took it. Reaper of Souls marked the end for me, and it was kicked off my hard drive. I haven't downloaded again it or purchased the expansion, and in all honesty probably won't short of someone flat out giving me a copy. I'd play it if I got it, perhaps, but I don't feel like spending money on it. Who knows. My stance may change.

The last time I logged in was February 2014; I moved over to Starcraft for a while, then moved out of blizzard games in favor of stompy mechs in an entirely opposite universe. No regrets.

Projects

Overall? Too many. Right here, just one, which is mostly to do little improvements to this place bit by bit.

Diablowiki

Well, I'm here now, so that indicates I still pay some attention (Hi Elly). 2014 was my peak, spent mostly on Diablo 3, but now I'm here to focus attention on Diablo 2 and Diablo 1, mostly to check for errors, make writing more consistent and identify areas that could use the most attention. Just a little update here and there, you know? :p

Late 2013 I got the title "DiabloWiki.Net Ink Slinger" Diablo Incgamers (Yes, that site right next door that isn't called Incgamers anymore). Spambots used to be fun, I would take their wall of spam and throw in some insulting, derisive or otherwise rude comment to the spammer in question before the registration system got an overhaul.

TLDR: Hi. I'm here.

-==Diablo Games==
+==Games==
 ===Diablo I===
-Diablo I was WitchDoctor's favorite diablo game because of its music and atmosphere. He played in vanilla leveling his level 42 rouge. He no longer played after his last game CD broke.
+Diablo 1 was, and still is, my favorite for the atmosphere and the gameplay. I'm not like most who play the series; the lore > loot. Rogue (a bit cheesy, I know) is my class of choice, or the "Rogue Mage" considering all the spells I use in conjunction with arrows.
 ===Diablo II===
-WitchDoctor played diablo 2 for several years. He quit back in 2012 and played Diablo 3, leaving his main accounts to expire. He still had single player experimental characters and played on his barbarian Pisa on an alternate account that was still intact when he returned to diablo 2 in October 2013, and had about 5 shared mule accounts still operating. However, he never found a zod rune (although a friend of his did) and does not use the enigma armor. When playing he tried to stray as far away from cookie cutter and normal runs (baal runs, key runs, etc) as possible. He finally discontinued playing Diablo 2 in mid 2014 until much later. Starting in August 2015, he has begun coming back to Diablo 2.
+Diablo 2's a game I've played for quite some time... still play, in fact, including with a few single-player hardcore characters with weird builds these days (melee sorc in hardcore? You bet).

As such, I'm left with my singleplayer chars, the highest level still existing being a level 67 druid. I might pop back into Battle.net at some point; I've already started up singleplayer, so why not.
 ===Diablo III===
-WitchDoctor (WitchDoctor 1834) played on his Demon Hunter and his Wizard, and had only a single Witch Doctor, below level 60. Overall, he had 2 Wizards, 1 demon hunter, and 4 small characters.
+Diablo 3's where the username WitchDoctor came from, mostly as a result of being unoriginal at the time (WitchDoctor#1834). My main chars were a wizard and a demon hunter, the wizard (Assur) being my main. I had a few more lower end characters.
-His time was spent on grinding, giving away gear, and helping newer players in game.
+I played from the early days of D3, before RoS, removal of the RMAH, rifts, one-build-characters... the game was far from perfect, but I rather liked it. I threw out items to lower level folks, gave them all my money, basically shot myself in the foot for going up to high levels. Diablo's story has always been an appeal to me, and I was never too fond of where Diablo 3 took it. Reaper of Souls marked the end for me, and it was kicked off my hard drive.

I'd play it if I got it, perhaps, but I don't feel like spending money on it. Who knows. My stance may change.
-In the months of November and December he collected as many spare items as possible and distributes them to players in game who were newer/just coming back after a while. His activity faltered in January, and stopped playing entirely in February 2014. By March, he played no more Diablo III. This was because of severe hard drive issues, his old ring of diablo friends dissolving, and installation errors.  When ROS was released, he decided to not buy it, and left the community. He has not returned to the game since then and presently does not have intention to rejoin.
+The last time I logged in was February 2014; I moved over to Starcraft for a while, then moved out of blizzard games in favor of stompy mechs in an entirely opposite universe. No regrets.

-WitchDoctor occasionally checks back on Incgamers, usually for light reading.
+Overall? Too many. Right here, just one, which is mostly to do little improvements to this place bit by bit.
 ===Diablowiki===
-WitchDoctor was particularly fond of improving the diablowiki site in 2013. He considered it to be the best diablo wiki out there, and still thinks it only needs a ''little'' bit of updating. However, he dropped out mid 2014. He returned early 2015 to make small corrections.
+Well, I'm here now, so that indicates I still pay some attention (Hi Elly). 2014 was my peak, spent mostly on Diablo 3, but now I'm here to focus attention on Diablo 2 and Diablo 1, mostly to check for errors, make writing more consistent and identify areas that could use the most attention. Just a little update here and there, you know? :p
-For his contributions, on November 23 2013 he was awarded the title DiabloWiki.Net Ink Slinger by Elly on Diablo Incgamers. In the month of December, due to actively playing another game he spent almost no time on working with diablowiki articles, but still found the time to check and delete spam articles and replace him with his own little witty comments. By March 2014, his activity was nothing.
-He now still checks back once in a while on a quest to purge outdated contents.
-==Known More Personal Information==
-Most players typically referred to WitchDoctor as a "he", including himself, so although he never directly states his gender it can be assumed he is male. No other information floating around can be considered as fact about him, and he never directly says information about his life. He had a habit of being on and off, and never was completely dedicated to whatever he is playing since that dang thing called life kept interfering.
-==Projects==
-All previous projects worked on where discontinued and postponed indefinately. The screenshot archive, containing various screenshots of all diablo games, may be dug up if asked for on the talk page for reference.
-==Other Games==
-WitchDoctor is presently engaged in the Mechwarrior series and BattleTech as a whole. He checks up on his older games sometimes, including Diablo II.
-==References==
+Late 2013 I got the title "DiabloWiki.Net Ink Slinger" Diablo Incgamers (Yes, that site right next door that isn't called Incgamers anymore). Spambots used to be fun, I would take their wall of spam and throw in some insulting, derisive or otherwise rude comment to the spammer in question before the registration system got an overhaul.
-All this information was given by WitchDoctor. It is up to the reader to decide the credibility of it.
+TLDR: Hi. I'm here.
