The Witch Doctor gets into the mind of his enemies, making it hard to differentiate between friend and foe. Confused monsters will fight on the side of the heroes, for a limited time.

Skill Design

A very good skill against tough mobs, making them fight with each other whilst the Witch Doctor takes care of them from afar. However, it is unknown if there will be specific mobs who are immune to this skill, but we do know bosses won't be affected. Furthermore, it can be possible to convert a powerful creature to take care of the smaller yet still dangerous minions, ones that the Witch Doctor cannot take care of himself.

Skill Rank Table

Rank 1: Induce paranoia in enemies, causing some to fight for the Witch Doctor for 6 seconds. Cost: 12 mana.
