 ==Skill Design==
-It is unknown for how long this DoT lasts, but it may be the only way for a witch doctor to kill enemies by himself who specialize in this tree. This skill had the words "Not Yet Implemented" written, so the low damages seen below will probably increase. This skill also saves the Witch Doctor some health, since summoning [[Summon Zombie Dog|Zombie Dogs]] costs health.
+It is unknown for how long this DoT lasts, or how much damage it does. This seems like essentially a free way to get more Mongrels, but since Mongrels are easy enough to cast on their own, the utility of this one is suspect. Perhaps a bold Witch Doctor could go without any points in Mongrels and just use Parasite to keep up a flock of minions.
