This [[skill ]] opens a hole in the air, pouring poison out on whomever is under it at the time. Pools of poison stay on the floor for about ten seconds after, damaging enemies. The green goo from the poison looks a lot like the remains of the Witch Doctor's [[Plague of Toads]].
If you ever hated the acid dogs from Diablo I, now you can wreak that acidic pain on others!<div style="clear:left;"></div>
This spell was originally one of the Wizard's. It was switched to the Witch Doctor during early development.

==Development==
The spell was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled, in the gameplay material released to the public. The skill initially belonged to the [[Wizard]], but was moved to the [[Witch Doctor]]'s [[Voodoo Skill Tree]] some time before [[BlizzCon 2009]] (21 August 2009). This change was confirmed by Bashiok in a forum post in mid-July, 2009. [http://www.blizzblues.com/us/acid-cloud-for-the-wizard-frown-18360842066.html].
