IconFetishArmy.png

Fetish Army is a Support Witch Doctor skill unlocked at level 29, which summons group of Fetish demons to fight for the Witch Doctor. This is the Witch Doctor's only summoning skill that generates a large number of minions, albeit non-traditional, short-lived ones. It has never yet been shown publicly.



Background

Fetish Army in action

This skill summons Fetishes, the little monsters from Act III in Diablo II, to fight for the Witch Doctor.


Skill Effects

The following is a very quick list. See the Fetish Army rune effects page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

Note: Information is based on a level 60 character and rank 7 runestones.


Skill Design

As of Blizzcon 2009, nothing was known about the skill other than the name and the written description. Some months later a bit more information was added by Bashiok in a March 2010 forum post[1].

Fetish army is really the only mass-summon spell the witch doctor has. The fetish army spell effects are coming along too, it's looking pretty amazing. But it's really more of an AoE that happens to do its damage by sending out little dudes to fight. The witch doctor is more about using a small number of summons as damage soaks, and then casting spells for the majority of his damage. Some of which are themselves larger one-off summons. He's not a mass summoner, that's just not the intended flavor of the class.


Synergies


Development

Fetish Army was first named in the BlizzCon 2009 demo, where it could be seen in the Voodoo Skill Tree at Tier VI. When skill trees were removed, Fetish Army became a Tier 7 skill. Then skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Fetish Army became a level 29 skill.
