The Witch Doctor conducts rituals to empower his spells with his life force.

Skill Design[edit | edit source]

A very good skill for spell damaging witch doctors, since the Witch Doctor can be compared to World of Warcraft's Warlock class, who is spell caster relying on his mana AND health to keep casting and empowering his spells. With other skills from other trees, the witch doctor can get a nice boost to his stats and his spell damage. It can also be assumed that one of the Witch Doctor's primary attributes is Vitality, so players will have an abundance of health.
