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]].

The spell '''Acid Cloud''' was first shown seen at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the as a Tier III [[Wizard]] was unveiled, skill in the gameplay material released to the public[[Conjuring Skill Tree]]. The skill initially belonged to the By [[WizardBlizzCon 2009]], but was Acid Cloud had been moved to the [[Witch Doctor]]'s [[Voodoo Skill Tree]] some time before [[BlizzCon 2009]] (21 August 2009), to the delight of many who thought using this skill was out of character for the Wizard. This change move was confirmed alluded to by [[Bashiok in a forum post in mid-July, 2009. ]] shortly before the BlizzCon event<ref>[http://www.blizzblues.com/us/acid-cloud-for-the-wizard-frown-18360842066.htmlAcid Cloud for the Wizard *Frown*]-- BlizzBlues 14th July 2009</ref>. [[Flux]] shared his thoughts on this skill:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/full-witch-doctor-skills/] <blockquote>''It’s an interesting description, and a pity we couldn’t see this one in action, to see just how the thrown bottle, explosion, and acid cloud was handled. So how long is the delay between the initial explosion and then start of the acid rain? Would a fast monster take only the 1-5 damage, and move out of the area before the more painful DoT Aoe began?</blockquote> ===Previous Versions===* [[Acid Cloud (BlizzCon 2008)|Acid Cloud]] when it was a Wizard skill
