Skill Design
Descriptions of this skill viewable at Blizzcon 2009 and Blizzcon 2010 gave only vague information about its function, but an August 2011 gameplay video ([1]) shows it in use. A Witch Doctor is seen to use the skill several times in rapid succession, summoning a Fetish Shaman with each use. Each Shaman remains stationary and bathes the ground in a broad area around itself with pulsing, green light. As soon as one such Shaman is summoned, a wraith within its field is seen to spontaneously transform into a clucking, white chicken and wander aimlessly for several seconds, before spontaneously reverting to its original form. Several skeletons within the same Shaman's AoE remain unaffected.
Synergies
- No synergies with any of the passive skills are yet known.
Skill Rune Effects
- 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 6 skill.
Media
Hex can be seen in action on video here:
