As we draw ever closer to the worldwide release of Diablo III on May 15, we have now unlocked the fourth of our heroes of Sanctuary on our Diablo III launch site. In this unique look at the witch doctor, you'll learn more about these commanders of ancient magics.

To the umbaru, their mortal duration is but a pale shadow of the Unformed Land, a testing ground for those wishing to ascend to the higher plane. And only the witch doctors are able to look upon the Mbwiru Eikura, through mastery of potent herbs, bloody rituals, and an intense focus known as the Ghost Trance. Their combined spiritual and military acumen has earned the witch doctors a place of status and reverence amongst the tribes. Theirs is a calling that requires an incredible degree of courage, self-sacrifice, wisdom, and foresight.

Venture on to the Gathering of Heroes page on our Diablo III launch site to read witch doctor lore, watch a new class video, learn about their skills, resources, armor, and weapons, and read an exclusive short story, "Doubtwalker."
