No skillpoint requirements available yet.
-
Haunt
The Witch Doctor sends out a spirit that invades the body of an enemie and damages it from the inside out. The summoned spirit with Haunt survives longer inside a body than outside one.
-
Spirit Vessel (Passive)
With Spirit Vessel the WD gains X amount of mana everytime a health globe is picked up.
-
Soul Harvest skill
Soul Harvest looks like the souls of the monsters are taken from their bodies and (my guess) added to the Doctors mana. Soul Harvest looks like a powerfull skill, but I wonder what happens when a monster isn't killed outright, is it just wounded than?
-
Rituals (Passive)
With the Rituals skill, a Witch Doctor can increase his or her spelldamage with X% of it's Vitality.
-
Spirit Sense (Passive)
When a enemy is below 25% of health, Spirit Sense increases damage done against this monster with X%. Sounds usefull.
-
Horrify skill
Comparable with the Diablo 2 Necromancer's Curses. Horrify scares monsters which turn and run away (for a few seconds).
-
Spirit Barage
Spirit Barage is another spell that uses ghosts to wound your enemies. This spell sends down spirit bolts from the sky that damage monsters within the impact area.
-
Ritual of Blood
While Ritual of Blood is activated the Witch Doctor uses X amount of Vitality for Mana. So if you use a skill it draws both form health as Mana.
-
Spirit Walk Skill
Whith Spirit Walk a Witch Doctor transforms into a ghostly shape, making him invulnerable and let him wander around freely. Maybe even through walls and stuff?
-
Meditation (Passive)
Another passive that regenerates Mana quicker is Meditiation. With this one all spells from the Spirit Skilltree return X% of there Mana cost over a certain time period.
-
Death Pact (Passive)
This Death Pact skill makes a Witch Doc who us below 10% of it's Vitality, invulnerable for X% amount of seconds. A sort of escape spell which could be usefull because Town Portals won't be available in Diablo3.
-
Mass Confusion skill
Mass Confusion is another Curse like spell where monsters attack each other instead of the Doctor.
