Poison Dart is a Physical Realm Witch Doctor skill unlocked at level 1. It's a ranged attack in which the Witch Doctor blows a poisoned dart at the enemy, dealing initial poison damage and damage over-time.

Skill Design
This low-level direct damage skill first appeared in 2010. The casting animation is fairly slow, but the projectile itself is very fast and accurate.
Synergies
- No synergies with any of the passive skills are yet known.
Development
Poison Dart was revealed as a Witch Doctor skill in early August, 2010. 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:[1]
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:[1]
The main attack skill that the WD started with, this one was also disappointing while un-runed. It’s pretty much what you’d think; a tiny green projectile that deals impact damage and some 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.
Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Poison Dart became a level 1 skill.
