@Talnick: You have to bind it to your mouse or keyboard by going into elective mode. After you get the game, go to options then click gameplay and select ELECTIVE MODE then you put whatever skill you want anywhere with no restrictions.

If the Zerg got their hands on a Hunter and infested it, you would get the WD. A walking leprosy vendor with a gaggle of mutated followers and some seriously bad posture. Love the creativity. Im gonna be stuck on this toon for a LONG time.

Blizzcon PVP build had both Hex (Jinx) and Spirit Walk (Honored Guest), which was pretty OP but I guess that's impossible now.

Can't wait to create this character. Years of fun ahead.

The fun factor of this class is nearly immeasurable. Rains of frogs, lines of undead, spiders, bats, giant brutes, voodoo trickery... and, last but not least, zombie bears? This is the sort of fun, off-the-wall innovation I expect of Blizzard.

I was gonna play this class but I hate the soul harvest idea, seems like not using it would be foolish and I hate the idea of having a mandatory ability. I want to be free

If the WD actually stood up and didn't have so many annoying sound affects I would play him. Couldn't stand the sound of glass breaking every seconds I guess that's just me.
