Is the Witch Doctor a Good Class in Diablo 3 Season 30?

To answer this question simply, yes! the Witch Doctor class is a great pick as it offers builds ranked as A-tier in Season 30 of Diablo 3. With a large variety of builds to choose from that can easily decimate your foes, making it one that we heartily recommend to players; however, it does come with one or two caveats. 

The only thing to note is that because the witch doctor specializes in summoning and using voodoo magic, you'll need to be accustomed to the summoning system in the game as well as the magic system. The Witch Doctor isn't suited for players wanting to run into the front lines and tear things up like a Barbarian, so keep that in mind as you approach this class.
