Skill Design
It is unknown how this skill looks, is it a big pair of hands (made from rotting flesh and bones)? or many hands of regular undead zombies? Speculate at your own risk. This skill will aid against enemies who are behind the frontal lines, attacking you while you try to get to them, cast this spell on them, and they will (hopefully) get taken care of. In the demo, this skill had the words "Not Yet Implemented" written on it, so this skill may be changed, iterated or removed when Diablo 3 gets released.
