Skill Design
Acid on skellies!
This skill opens a hole in the air, pouring poison out on whomever is under it at the time. Pools of poison stay on the floor for about ten seconds after, damaging enemies. The green goo from the poison looks a lot like the remains of the Witch Doctor's Plague of Toads.
If you ever hated the acid dogs from Diablo I, now you can wreck that acidy pain on others!This spell now belongs to the Witch Doctor.
