That's why I chose Demon Hunter, Frisk.
From the character text I read I thought he would be pretty good at keeping monsters at bay.
I'm also playing Titan Quest at the moment with a bowslinger and am learning to play more defensively.
I used to always pick a melee class, but I like ranged better now.
May well try the witch doctor with his summoning soon.
I hated the WD from the open beta weekend. Every single one of his abilities seemed like it was the result of a 10 year old brain storming.
Blizzard Dude 1: Hey, we need some kindof short ranged AoE attack
Blizzard Dude 2: How about he breathes fire?
Blizzard Dude 1: Yeah, but we already did that in diablo 1 and 2 (inferno)... tell you what, instead of breathing fire... maybe he breathes.... BATS!
Blizzard Dude 2: What if the bats were on fire?
[fist bump]
Blizzard Dude 1: Hey, this class needs some pets
Blizzard Dude 2: Skeletons?
Blizzard Dude 1: Yeah, but we already did that.
Blizzard Dude 2: Hmm... Pets... Cats, Dogs, Hamsters, Donkeys? All boring. How about Zombies? Everyone likes Zombies
Blizzard Dude 1: Yeah, but we already have zombies. You're killing them all day.
Blizzard Dude 2: .... Zombie.... Dogs?
[fist bump]
Blizzard Dude 1: All right, now we need a charged bolt equivalent thing for our dear witch doctor? You know... some kindof randomish AOE thing?
Blizzard Dude 2: [puts down his diablo 3 collectors edition bong] Umm... lets have him throw a never ending supply of jars... and in the jars, will be a bunch of spiders the size of a small zombie dogs
Blizzard Dude 1: That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Blizzard Dude 2: Yeah, would you rather think up something else, or take another hit on this bong?
Blizzard Dude 1: Pass it over here.
