Spirit Barrage is a Spirit Realm Witch Doctor skill unlocked at level 21. It's an attack skill, one that calls down projectiles from above, striking all enemies, with Arcane damage, in the target zone.



Background

Spirit Barrage in action

The Witch Doctor sends forth spirits to barrage the enemy to death.


Skill Effects

The following is a very quick list. See the Spirit Barrage rune effects page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

Skill Design

This sounds like it could be a powerful AoE skill, but nothing is yet known about the sort of radius or damage it inflicts. The Witch Doctor is not blessed with as many big damage skills as the Wizard, and has few skills that can strike multiple targets at once for heavy damage. If this one can, it could be a mainstay of many high level Witch Doctor builds.


Synergies


Development

Spirit Barrage was first seen in the BlizzCon 2009 demo as a Tier IV skill on the Spirit Skill Tree, but was not yet implemented. It was also listed in the BlizzCon 2010 demo, though it's yet to be seen in action.

Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Spirit Barrage became a level 21 skill.
