The Witch Doctor summons a Fetish spellcaster to cast hexes upon his enemies.

Skill Design

This sounds like a crazy skill, and is only known from the descriptions seen at Blizzcon 2009 and 2010. As of 2010 the summoned Fetish is apparently able to transform enemies into chickens.

No rune effects for Hex are known.

Development

Hex was first seen at BlizzCon 2009 listed as a skill in the gameplay demo, but it was not yet implemented. At the time, it was a Tier II skill on the Voodoo Skill Tree. It was still listed at BlizzCon 2010, but there are no gameplay reports detailing any use of the skill.

Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Hex became a level 5 skill.
