Background
This skill summons Fetishes, the little monsters from Act III in Diablo II, to fight for the Witch Doctor.
Skill Rune Effects
Refer to the Fetish Army rune effects article for thorough descriptions of all five skill rune effects in this skill, including screenshots, videos, and strategy tips.
| Name | Level | Description |
|---|
<skill class="WitchDoctor">Fetish Army</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor" rune="Fetish Ambush">Fetish Army</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor" rune="Devoted Following">Fetish Army</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor" rune="Legion of Daggers">Fetish Army</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor" rune="Tiki Torchers">Fetish Army</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor" rune="Head Hunters">Fetish Army</skill>
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].
The base skill can be seen in action in a short video released by Blizzard in early 2012.
Synergies
The following Witch Doctor passives provide a benefit to Fetish Army, runed or not:
| Name | Level | Description |
|---|
<skill class="WitchDoctor">Pierce the Veil</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor">Tribal Rites</skill>
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.
Beta
Skill tiers were removed shortly before the beta started in September 2011, and Fetish Army became a level 29 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13 in February 2012, and Fetish Army was classified as a Voodoo skill and moved to level 30.
Fetish Army has, throughout development, been too high-level to play, so there are no gameplay reports describing it.
Media
You can find pictures in the Diablo III screenshot and picture gallery:
