The monks are sacred warriors who train for years in solitude to refine their skills. Monks use melee orientated combat to dispose and purify their foes. They can call on the power of Spirit Stones, fist weapons and Diabos.

Monks draw their power from within themselves, this energy is know as Spirit. Spirit replenishes slowly and is generated by using skills and finishing combo attacks.

Monks have naturally high speed and mobility allowing them to avoid damage rather than absorbing it like the Barbarian. They rely on combining their attacks together to crete power and devastating combos. Monks can also chant Mantras to increase their own stats and their parties.

Witch Doctors are spiritual warriors from the Umbaru tribe. They have many similarities to the Necromancer in Diablo 2 and are capable of summoning minions, performing many curses while also using various elements to destroy their enemies. They are capable of using Ceremonial Knives, Mojos and Voodoo Masks.

Witch Doctor's rely on the mana resource to cast their various spells. This resource is very vast allowing Witch Doctor's to constantly conjure spells and minions. However, it is slow regenerating so casting massive amounts of spells at once can quickly leave the Witch Doctor vulnerable.

Witch Doctors are masters of destruction magic and controlling pets to do their bidding. They are powerful allies who can control the battlefield with their various curses and hexes in their arsenal.
