Witch Doctor is an Intelligence Hero who can take on the role of a Support or a Ganker. A master of voodoo curses and healing arts. He possesses spells that can aid and support his allies or endanger the lives and cause intense damage to his foes. The Doctor may be fragile but his spells are powerful and damaging enough to cease the life out an enemy. Witch Doctor is both your best friend and worst enemy.

Bio

Zharvakko, the Witch Doctor "Set your clocks; its the witching hour." Role: Support / Disabler Lore: A wiry silhouette hitches forward--uneven of feature and limb, bizarre of gait, relentlessly criss-crossing the battlefield in search of that vital weak point where his talents can do most good, and most harm. Whether broken or mismade it is not clear, but still, none can doubt the power carried in his twisted physique. A long staff thumps the earth as the Witch Doctor advances, deploying a terrifying arsenal of fetishes, hexes and spells. It is a body of magical knowledge learned over several lifetimes in the island highlands of Prefectura, now wielded with precision accuracy against his enemies. Witch Doctor is your best friend, or your worst enemy--healing allies and laying waste to all who oppose him. Voice: Responses
