If you’ve played Diablo 3, you’ve heard of the “Witch Doctor” profession.They look a bit like movie wizards, but their abilities are far more intimidating than your average mage.Today, we’re going to talk about a profession that is both frightening and intriguing – the witch doctor.
What is a witch doctor really like?
Many people think that witch doctors are just legendary characters that don’t exist in reality.But let me tell you, I’ve personally seen a witch doctor casting magic on the battlefield.That scene was really shocking!He used a very scary spell to make the enemy blow up directly into pieces, with fire splattering all over the place, and the scene was terrifying.
If the enemies weren’t dead yet, the witch doctor would continue to cast spells and call out some strange monsters from the ground, such as skeleton soldiers or zombies, which would pounce on the remaining enemies and tear them into pieces of flesh.Doesn’t that sound scary?But that’s just part of the witch doctor’s powers.
How did I meet the Witch Doctor?
To learn more about witch doctors, I decided to take a trip to the south of the western continent, to a large jungle called Teganze.This jungle is hardly ever visited because it is very remote and has never been explored by outsiders.
I was lucky enough to meet a witch doctor during a battle, and we became friends.Through his help, I was able to enter his tribe, the Five Stone Mountain Tribe.If he hadn’t shown me the way, I don’t think I would have been able to even find the entrance.
What is the culture of the Witch Doctor tribe like?
The culture of the Witch Doctor’s tribe is very unique and mysterious.For example, the Wushishan tribe often fights with other tribes, such as the Seven Jade tribe and the Cloud Gap tribe.But they don’t fight to grab territory or resources, they fight to fulfill some kind of traditional ritual.
It was said that the purpose of these wars was to choose the final victor, and then they could use the body of the defeated to perform an activity called “human sacrifice”.Although it sounds a bit scary, it is part of their beliefs.
Once I carefully asked them, “Why do you think this is right?”They laughed at the question.I was in a tight spot and felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.But then I slowly learned that in their culture, it is the most honorable thing for a person to die on the battlefield.
This made me relieved, at least I knew that they didn’t just kill people, but had their own set of values and belief system.
Witch doctor’s ability to summon more than just monsters
In addition to being able to summon undead creatures, the Witch Doctor also has a very powerful ability to summon all sorts of undead creatures from the other world to help in battle.Some of these monsters were skeletons, some were poisonous insects, and some were frogs that could spray venom.In short, as long as the enemy saw these summons, they basically had no life to escape.
Witch doctors can not only fight, but also heal themselves.They had some secret potions and spells that could replenish themselves during battle and even heal wounds quickly.This makes them very hard to deal with on the battlefield.
Witch Doctor’s Faith: The Invisible Land
After talking to the Witch Doctors, I found out that they have a unique religious belief called “Mbwiru Eikura”, which translates to “Invisible Place”.This belief is difficult to explain in our words because their understanding of the world is completely different from ours.
They believe that the real, divine world is hidden in places we cannot see, and that the world we live in is only a projection of that real world.In order to allow the power of the gods to flow into the earth, they often perform rituals, such as sacrificing their lives, to invoke the blessings of the gods.
“Into the Spirit”: a connection to the other world
Witchdoctors have a special ability called “channeling”.This is a meditative or psychic state.Through complex rituals, they can enter a dream-like state and perceive the truth behind reality.
During this process, they use some plants and herbs collected from the jungle.These things help them to focus their minds and communicate with the other world more easily.It is said that only the truly gifted can master this ability.
Witch doctors’ values: sacrifice and solidarity
In the society of the Witch Doctors, the most important thing is not personal gain, but the good of the tribe as a whole.They believe it’s worth sacrificing themselves for the sake of the collective.This idea is completely different from our culture, which emphasizes more on individual freedom and independence.
But in the world of the witch doctors, everyone valued teamwork and working together more.Everyone is willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the whole tribe.This spirit touched me and made me more interested in their culture.
Reasons for having to leave
Unfortunately, tensions between the witch doctor tribes were so high at the time that a major war could break out at any time.There was a sense of unease in the air, and I could feel that the situation had reached a tipping point.
For safety’s sake, I left there early without continuing to pursue more questions.Although there were still a lot of unanswered questions, this experience gave me a deeper understanding of witch doctors and made me admire this mysterious yet powerful profession even more.
To summarize, Witch Doctor is a profession that combines magic, summoning, healing and mystical beliefs.They not only have powerful combat abilities in Diablo 3, but also a unique culture and worldview.If you want to experience a character that is both mystical and powerful, then the Witch Doctor is definitely a good choice!
