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.

Development
Spell was first shown at BlizzCon 2008 when the Wizard was unveiled, in the gameplay material released to the public. The skill initially belonged to the Wizard, but was moved to the Witch Doctor's Voodoo Skill Tree some time before BlizzCon 2009 (21 August 2009). Most likely, the change took place before 14 July 2009 [1].
