Class Type: Ranged, Support, DPS

The majority of the Witch Doctor's damage spells are ranged abilities. Not only that, but the Witch Doctor also specializes in crowd control (Eg. Fear, Confuse). With Mass Confusion the Witch Doctor can quickly turn a large group of monsters against each other. The Witch Doctor also has the unique ability to summon undead creatures to fight by the Witch Doctor's side.

Summoning

Summoning is another reason why the Witch Doctor is the best Support Class in Diablo 3. If a tank is needed, the Witch Doctor can Summon Zombie Dogs or a Gargantuan to fill that role. If more damage is needed, the Witch Doctor can Summon a Fetish Army and Big Bad Voodoo with the Slam Dance Skill Rune Effect for Increased Damage. The Witch Doctor can actually create an Ultimate Army by using these Command/Summoning Skills.
