Basically the question given for the post. I would really like to have a witch doctor class. While i could make one, my time is limited with school, getting married, work, social obligations, etc.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Lets keep class names out of it. In your mind, what does a witch doctor do?
I want something like the witch doctor from Diablo 3. Voodoo, Effigies (think i misspelled that), Communing with spirits, Commanding undead (Spirits), a more jungle/swamp tribal feel. something along those lines.
Sorry for the name placement. Just wanted to nip that in the butt before hand. I have a general idea of what i want, and i probably could make it if i had the time. I unfortunately don't, ya know?
Hopefully that helps.
Thank you in advance for any advice/ideas/etc.
seems like shaman is the way to go here.
I'm just not looking at the shaman for the first time but it looks like it would work. Depending how far you want to stretch your imagination, and how far from your original vision you want to veer, there could be other spell casters you could play. I mean, a cleric with the right domains, spells, and traits is something you could call a witch doctor.
What about Juju Oracle?
A Soul Warden shaman could almost be what you want, but she can't command undead. No shaman can, as for now.
Oracle of Bones with the Seer or Spirit Guide archetype should do. Otherwise, a Houngan.
IF 3rd party is OK, you can try our Witch Doctor MCA.
What about Juju Oracle?
I've been running a Juju Oracle for months. He's so much fun.

If third party material is ok, there is Witch Doctor archetype for the white necromancer class in the New Paths Compendium from Kobold Press.
From what you are describing, it sounds very close to what you ate looking for
Sorry, should have provided a link but I was on my phone earlier :)
Here ya go! New Paths Compendium
Thank you everyone for the suggestions, i will need to do some research when i get time. I love these boards, they are incredibly helpful :).
Happy Gaming!
@Doctor Majuba: Nothing against it, its a neat archetype. Its just not what im looking for at the moment. It does have certain aspects of what i want, but it is still missing several key components.
So, nothing against it, just not what i needed. I was trying to say "I know about the Scarred Witch doctor, its just not quiet right". Think i might have failed in that regard.
