Changes to Witch Doctor have been made since this video was released. This list will contain those changes (not including number changes, since they are very frequent) Death Ward: The shots no longer bounce unless you have an Aghanim's Scepter. Remember to like this comment if it helped you, and feel free to ask me any question.
My personal favorite hero. He is that kind of guy who keeps the team going in team fights. I guess you could say he is in theory an anti-carry due to his well synergized offensive spells and the stun can hit creeps. He can basically pick up shadow blade and run around warding and dewarding while scouting out and killing off junglers. Really fun to play as. Very versatile in terms of item pickups.
For those who think the ult is kinda OP do note that it can miss if you have a butterfly or a skill that has evasion. I'm not sure if the kept that in Dota2 but that's how the skill works in Dota1
@PhobiaPhobo No, it does not work that way. It did somewhere around 6.68 or so, but it was waaaay OP so it got nerfed. Now all the targets get stunned for 1sec including initial.
Maledict is one of the most under rated skills in Dota. In the old Dota, I used to play Witch Doctor with a pure damage build using only Cask, Maledict and Death Ward. I used up all other skills on stats since I was primarily focusing on damage and not survival (foregoing getting the healing skill). Just sharing. :)
Itembuild for the dubstep doctor since he is a hard carry: phase boots (posistioning), ags (for the LOOK AT IT GO action), bkb because we dont want those pesky stuns while we look at it go, refresher because it can go twice and if you're the beastmode doctor get a bloodstone since you'll kill everything like the rasta baws you are. Thanks for reading and if you think this guide was helpfull (which i highly doubt) leave a banana for the doctor XD
Imo, "carry" witch doctor is much better off with an avatar before agha, and heck even a blink is very useful. You just can't guarantee that the enemies won't interrupt your ult (even with BKB) and make your hard earned gold completely wasted, which is why people prefer playing him as a support.
@DotaCinema you forgot to mention that the Death Wards do chaos damage, ignoring armour, which is why it can be so devastating if kept channeled in a fight :)
@Shketri BKB might even be more effective, as it stops you from being aoestunned. Though lothar will prevent you from taking any damage from basic hits and such :P
i think you should do something like Hero preview in LoL, first the abilities and then tactics in real games Then describe the recommended items for the hero
Uh ... call me nuts if you like, but I think I see a very strong facial resemblance (in the Witch Doctor's portrait) between the Witch Doctor and a certain character from Team Fortress 2. (Hint: Doctor)
@kienluong01 Look up Warcraft 3 chaos damage and armour types. Chaos damage is an attack type that ignores all armour types in Warcraft 3. I'm assuming they will implement a similar system in Dota 2.
Why not wait until his model is changed too just like the icon? only 1 day was left until the patch. Heck still like the video except the sven statement.
@ITQuatro Maybe it's the players that are too lazy to report? Riot has also introduced The Tribunal, which is a step in the right direction. I don't think it's the best option, but it rewards players who have stuck it out to level 30 and it saves Riot staff from being bogged down by "Unskilled Player" reports and all those tryhard trolls you mentioned listing "Intentional Feeding" when someone died 3 times. I haven't played HoN so I can't speak to that, but I am familiar with the LoL community.
@MRPGAMEDEVELOPERS dude... i cant believe what you just said.. after all this FREAKIN TIME! GOD! ok.. first of all, we are not saying HoN or LoL is shit, were just saying their copies of DotA, plus LoL became 2nd played game because it was popularized online, also DotA started out as an amateur or might i say a modded warcraft map. so thats why it wasnt considered an official game. so its technically like a adventure map or mod in minecraft

The real anti carry is razor. 17 games and no losses as razor. Why? Because the enemy picked all carry, and legion.
This is exactly why Witchy and Razor are a fantastic laning duo.
i love to get shadow blade too, and pop it immediately after ulti if they have no aoe stuns its fantastic
Yea, he's my favourite. Too bad no one wants to trade me for a cosmetic for him...
simplest witch doctor combo: maledict + lvl5 dagon .......he's going to pop.
Hus dance when channeling death ward is so wierd and awesome in its own way.
why at the end does he say 'it will hit 3 targets at once' but shows footage of it not hitting 3 targets because half of them are neutral creeps.
For those who think the ult is kinda OP do note that it can miss if you have a butterfly or a skill that has evasion. I'm not sure if the kept that in Dota2 but that's how the skill works in Dota1
"with another torture video of Sven"
He's not even hiding it anymore. XD
Ooh Eeh Ooh Ah Ah Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang!
The scepter on the Witch Doctor combined with Faceless Void ulti is just insane.
@winsenken it does. He said Death Ward attacks 3 heroes with Scepter.
Lothar's Edge is almost a must for this hero. You won't go out of invisibility while channeling death ward.
LOOK AT IT GO!
That's actually the Witch Doctor from Diablo III, so it's far from old. His model in DotA 1 was the Witch Doctor from Warcraft 3.
@PhobiaPhobo No, it does not work that way. It did somewhere around 6.68 or so, but it was waaaay OP so it got nerfed. Now all the targets get stunned for 1sec including initial.
His ultimate makes such a satisfying sound.

One of my new favorites, along with Ursa, and Phoenix

The oxford english dictionary states that the first record of the use of this term was in 1718, in a book by Francis Hutchinson NOOB
Not only that, but he was in the beta for a long time before diablo 3 was released. Look at the date this video came out.
Damn whenever I see a Dota 2 spotlight I wanna go out and play that hero -.-
Me too mate
Shannon Wade Bondoc then i play it thinking it would be fun then im complete shite
MrPieman00 Same.

I love all of UR videos they help me to actually know my hero
@DotaCinema you forgot to mention that the Death Wards do chaos damage, ignoring armour, which is why it can be so devastating if kept channeled in a fight :)
That's the witch doctor from Diablo 3 at the end.
@Shketri BKB might even be more effective, as it stops you from being aoestunned. Though lothar will prevent you from taking any damage from basic hits and such :P
I think he means the witch doctor photo at the end of the vid is come from diablo 3
i think you should do something like Hero preview in LoL, first the abilities and then tactics in real games
Then describe the recommended items for the hero
Hey, are you guys planning to do a Witch doctor guide in the near future?
I and other Witch Doctor enthusiasts would really appreciate it, Thank you.
@LifeforDreamable i know, i only suggest to put more info on the hero previews and it´s only a suggestion...dont be mad
oh yeah! look at it go! roll out the barrel! ha! feel it in your bones!
INTERNET ANNAHILATOR 360 HAVELUCKGOODFUN
he came out to early that he wanted to torture sven
Uh ... call me nuts if you like, but I think I see a very strong facial resemblance (in the Witch Doctor's portrait) between the Witch Doctor and a certain character from Team Fortress 2.
(Hint: Doctor)
Hey, you're right! He does look like the Pyro!
Love learning to use Witch Doctor
The font you're using for the spell names are Bebas right? Such a beautiful font.
Enemy team was at Roshan, caught them by surprise with the ultimate and got a penta-kill.
i idea has been there for centuries because of the tribal which doctors around the world, so its not copying that
@sacriel42 Only hits heroes.And if u make scepter it increases the dmg and split attack i believe .
Should've demonstrated an example with aghanim's scepter.
@kienluong01 Look up Warcraft 3 chaos damage and armour types. Chaos damage is an attack type that ignores all armour types in Warcraft 3. I'm assuming they will implement a similar system in Dota 2.
SunsFan's commentaries rule. Love the humour...adds a little more character to the video.
Man I loved WD in dota1. I carried so hard with him using lothars
Oww look at it gooo
Why the witch doctor of the icon has diferent color (and maybe face)? The icon looks more badass.
Why not wait until his model is changed too just like the icon? only 1 day was left until the patch.
Heck still like the video except the sven statement.
it only take me 3 matches to realize his ulti need channelling to cast
@gohlimmoy they change his model too in latest update patch
My favorite support hero.
@Galatonik Ok thanks for the information.But just in case i was asking about the Ward in Dota 2?Cuz in Dota i think it was chaos dmg.
Whenever you hear the "Look at it go" its time to turn on your BKB or enjoy a 5 second stun!
I find it weird that you actually let Sven get killed before the end of the vid (when showing maledict)
Wasn't that the witch doctor from diablo 3 at the end?
My main since i'm a diehard support~
witch doctor heals himself and all allies around him.
@DotaCinema do a sven spotlight video thingy
They share a few lines as well
My best hero , he has the most aggressive ultimate in dota 2
Sven, the new scout.
So you can no longer use Lothar's Edge like in DotA 1 to get invis and use your ultimate? Sucks.
Thank you for making these videos! :)
WHY WONT YOU LOOK AT IT GO!
@Elalmadebudin u must be one of the most experienced player!
anD an additional info! witch doctor is actualLy a gooD dancer when casting Death Ward .. dotacinema forgot to mention that
His E is the most OP non-ultimate skill ever, one sec, im 70% HP, next sec, im dead
playing as the witch doctor is not how many kills you can assist, its how many bikes you can steal
The first target of paralyzing stun gets stunned for 2 seconds. Facts right plox Sunsfan.
@ITQuatro Maybe it's the players that are too lazy to report? Riot has also introduced The Tribunal, which is a step in the right direction. I don't think it's the best option, but it rewards players who have stuck it out to level 30 and it saves Riot staff from being bogged down by "Unskilled Player" reports and all those tryhard trolls you mentioned listing "Intentional Feeding" when someone died 3 times. I haven't played HoN so I can't speak to that, but I am familiar with the LoL community.
Maledict turns the enemy pink? sold
Best case scenerio, catch 2 enemy heroes with ur paralyzing cask and just drop ur ulti. Double kill.
Oh Death Ward. I remember when Rikimaru had you. Non-Channeling. And bad ass. Those were the days... :)
@sairoku why it ignore armor when it chaos damage? only pure damage ignore armor( butcher hook, PA dagger)
I do believe this review is wrong. With aghanims the damage DOES increase. It doesn't stay the same.
What Will happen in the Sven spotlight? Will he still be tortured?
Hey guys this is sunspan with another torture video of sven
The exclamation mark made the difference.
thanks to this guide i went 12/3/20 on witch doctor!
He's about to pop!
Still a dangerous hero as with the previous XD
another guy in background making little noises 'bonk' when paralyzing flask is cast, or am i going crazy
why is valve's idea of an orc, purple and not green?
I think he mean diablo the first one which came before dota.
Yes very nice, i like it. in my opinion they should increase de aoe of maledict instead of 150 to 220
ever seen witch doctor ulti + bloodseeker ulti? Ouch
Aghanims + BKB would just be devistating on this guy.
clear video to explain the skill. i though he got no damage with the third skill
That Darksiders 2 commercial....
both top comments are the same comment and by the same person?
when sven comes out he better own all of the other heroes at once :(
oh the old model...
Down in the comments section there is the amount of comments. When you made your comment, it said ''All comments (500)''.
we want a SVEN's video !!!
then we will have a sven versus another sven
Doesn't aghanim increase damage as well? Up to 150?...
I love this hero... Make an aghanim, BKB/Lothar and go on a rampage...
I Remember when Witch doctor can turn you into a frog?
"Hi guys this is a SUNSfan with an another torturevideo of Sven. Oh wait, this is an introduction to With Doctor" :DD Made my day!
Damn, pink Death Ward, what the heck?
Last train to awesome town!
Sven fought back!!!
@MRPGAMEDEVELOPERS dude...
i cant believe what you just said.. after all this FREAKIN TIME!
