Firebats is a tier IV skill in the Voodoo Skill Tree, which causes the Witch Doctor to spew firebats, dealing fire damage to enemies in front of you.

Background

Diablo III Skill [e]

Firebats Active, 5 ranks
Used by:	Witch Doctor
Skill Description:
A swarm of fiery bats burn enemies in front of you for X fire damage per second
Skill Details:

Quantity:	Duration
Effect:	Cone
School:	Magical
Mana cost:	120 mana/sec
Cast time:	Unknown
Duration:	None
Cooldown:	Unknown
Synergies:	Unknown
Requires:	N/A
Prereq of:	N/A

The Witch Doctor spews fire from his mouth whilst bats fly into the flame, sending forth flaming bats to attack enemies in front of the Doctor.

Skill Design

This skill works much like the Sorceress' Inferno or the Druid's Arctic Blast, spewing the fire/ice in the direction of your mouse cursor until your mana runs out. The mana cost on this skill is quite high, and is practically unusable if you get it at lower levels. Hopefully, it is not final and will be balanced.
