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[1].
- 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.
Skill Rank Table
- Rank 1: Summon an army of level 15 fetishes to fight by your side. Cost: 12 mana.
- Rank 2: Summon an army of level 16 fetishes to fight by your side. Cost: 12 mana. (A)
- Rank 3: Summon an army of level 17 fetishes to fight by your side. Cost: 12 mana. (A)
- Rank 4: Summon an army of level 18 fetishes to fight by your side. Cost: 12 mana. (A)
- Rank 5: Summon an army of level 19 fetishes to fight by your side. Cost: 12 mana. (A)
(A) = Assumed
Synergies
- No synergies with any of the passive skills are yet known.
Skill Rune Effects
The known rune effects for Fetish Army are:
- Unknown rune: The army of fetishes appears in skeleton form.[2]
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.
Development
Fetish Army was first named in the BlizzCon 2009 demo, where it could be seen in the Voodoo Skill Tree at Tier VI. When skill trees were removed, Fetish Army became a Tier 7 skill. Then skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Fetish Army became a level 29 skill.
