Skill Design
This sounds like it could be a powerful AoE skill, but nothing is yet known about the sort of radius or damage it inflicts. The Witch Doctor is not blessed with as many big damage skills as the Wizard, and has few skills that can strike multiple targets at once for heavy damage. If this one can, it could be a mainstay of many high level Witch Doctor builds.
