The Witch Doctor's skills and skill trees were first seen at Blizzcon 2008. The following Blizzcon in 2009 revealed each tree and their skills in much more detail; each tree now decked out the [[Witch Doctor]] with an array of passive and active skills. It also showed the Plague Skill Tree had been renamed to the [[Zombie Skill Tree]]. A caveat however, is that many skills were disabled for use, indicated by the text "Not Yet Implemented".
