Stats as of May 5, 2012.q7bR Flash Plugin]] ==Development==The Witch Doctor's skills and skill trees were first seen at [[BlizzCon 2008]], with only a few skills enabled and many showing nothing more than vague descriptions in the skill tree.

The current information was revealed at Blizzcon 2010, with the passive skills removed (see the [[Witch Doctor traits]] and a near-final skill listing. A large number of the higher level WD spells have still never been shown publicly, in contrast to the skills of the Wizard and Barbarian, almost all of which have been shown off. ===Removed Skills===* [[Pit of Fire]]''<br/big>* [[Parasite]]<br> ==References==* [http://diablo''Diablowiki.incgamers.com/blog/comments/full-witch-doctor-skills/ Full Witch Doctor Skills]* [http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7960229#post7960229 Zediononet's translation of JudgeHype's pre-beta report] -- IncGamers 1st Aug 2011* [http:<//us.battle.net/d3/en/class/witch-doctor/ Witch Doctor Overview] -- Diablo III 13th Sep 2011font> {{Skill_navbox_Diablo_III|WD}} [[Category:Witch Doctor]][[Category:Witch Doctor skills]][[Category:Skills]][[category:Featured articles]]
