The [[rune]]s effects for Poison Dart were discussed revealed at [[BlizzCon 2010]]. by [[Wyatt Cheng]] narrated a short video of them in actionthe gameplay panel<ref>[http://diablowww.incgamersdiablowiki.comnet/blog/comments/diablo-3-gameplay-panel-transcript/P2/ Diablo 3 Gameplay_Panel_Blizzcon_2010#Skill_Runes BlizzCon 2010 Gameplay Panel Transcript] - Incgamers 23/10/10</ref>: <blockquote>The Witch Doctor's new skill called Poison Dart and that kind of fit with the Power Rune before but then we changed the skill so we had another version that would make it a rapid-fire skill and then it worked really well with Multistrike but then we had this wacky idea of the Witch Doctor being able to shoot a live snake that would attach itself to monster's faces and stun them. Where does that fit? It doesn't fit anywhere so we just changed the names of the runes then we can come up with as many kinds of wacky ideas as we want.</blockquote> With that said, the rune effects for poison dart are as follows:
* [[Alabaster rune]]: A snake is fired out to bite the face of the enemy.

'''Poison Dart ''' was revealed as a Witch Doctor skill in early August, 2010. It came from a forum post by D3 CM [[Bashiok]]. A fan in the official forums proposed a dart gun weapon for the Witch Doctor, and got more than he bargained for in the reply. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/a-new-witch-doctor-skill-revealed/ Bashiok forum post] -- Incgamers August 4, 4th Aug 2010</ref>: <blue><b>Bashiok:</b> Wow, pretty good guess. We have a new witch doctor skill called Poison Dart. Pretty much this.</blue> It was first seen in [[Blizzcon 2010]] and skill runes were also shown at this moment. It was one of the Witch Doctor's starting skills, and [[Flux]] obligingly wrote about it:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/hands-on-from-blizzcon-mega-pvm-report-witch-doctor]
::<blockquote>'''A blowgun The main attack skill that you can buy different kinds of darts and the WD started with, this one was also have different blowgun skills like disappointing while un-runed. It’s pretty much what you’d think; a rapid shot tiny green projectile that deals impact damage and critical shotsome DoT to the target.'''The dart moves quickly through the air so it’s got good accuracy, but the casting (blowing) animation is very slow. Lift the pipe, squat down into the shooting stance, fire, stand back up again, repeat. This results in a poor DPS, even though the actual dart isn’t terrible.</blockquote>

Poison Dart was added to the game after the three-skill tree arrangement was removed, so it was never officially assigned to a skill tree, but it would clearly have been in the [[Voodoo Skill Tree]] if it had been, along with all the other spell-like Witch Doctor direct attacks.
It was first seen <!--==Trivia==-->==Media==You can find pictures in the Diablo III screenshot and picture gallery:* [http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/ Diablo III screenshots and pictures]* [Blizzcon 2010http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/search.php?keywords=Poison+Dart&cat=all '''Poison Dart''' specific gallery contents]] and skill runes were also shown at this moment.
