'''Fetish Army''' is a Support [[Witch Doctor skill]] ~~enabled~~ unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 29, which summons group of Fetish demons to fight for the Witch Doctor. This is the Witch Doctor's only summoning skill that generates a large number of minions, albeit non-traditional, short-lived ones. It has never yet been shown publicly.

The following is a very quick list. See the [[Fetish Army rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

==Skill Design==

As of Blizzcon 2009, nothing was known about the skill other than the name and the written description. Some months later a bit more information was added by [[Bashiok]] in a March 2010 forum post<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blue-posts-on-shields-zookeeper-builds-and-healig-spells/ Blue Posts On shields, zookeeper builds, and healing spells] -- Incgamers 11th Mar 2010</ref>.

::<blue>Fetish army is really the only mass-summon spell the witch doctor has. The fetish army spell effects are coming along too, it's looking pretty amazing. But it's really more of an AoE that happens to do its damage by sending out little dudes to fight.

::The witch doctor is more about using a small number of summons as damage soaks, and then casting spells for the majority of his damage. Some of which are themselves larger one-off summons. He's not a mass summoner, that's just not the intended flavor of the class.</blue>

==Synergies==

* No [[synergies]] with any of the [[passive skill]]s are yet known.

~~==Skill Rune Effects==~~

~~The known [[rune]] effects for Fetish Army are:~~

* Unknown rune: The army of fetishes appears in skeleton form.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/never-seen-skill-has-improved-graphics/ Never-Seen Skill Has Improved Graphics] -- Incgamers 7th Jan 2011</ref>

This is clearly an homage to the exploding (and very deadly) Stygian Doll type of fetish, seen in the Durance of Hate in Act III of Diablo II. If this follows the Diablo II style of the monster, this runestone effect will cause the dolls to explode upon impact with enemies, making them very short-lived, but very damaging.
