The Witch Doctor lobs a burning skull filled with combustibles at his enemies, which explodes violently when it breaks upon them.
Skill Design
The first active damaging skill in the Voodoo Skill Tree, which, has even more active damaging skills. Quite useful, spending 5 skill points into it won't be a waste, it has good damage and a nice range and a very small cooldown. It can be enhanced with Skill Runes, essentially changing the skill in some way or another.
