An ongoing listing of [[Witch Doctor]] skills, as seen on the Blizzard site and observed in the WWI gameplay movie.
=Offensive SpellsPlague Tree==Locust Swarm==[[Image:Skill_witchdoctor_locustswarm.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Locust Swarm]][[Image:Skill_witchdoctor_locustswarm_icon.gif|left|Locust Swarm Skill Icon]]This projectile emits a spray of green insects which swarm over anything in close range, like flying piranha. Each swarm seems to last for a given amount of time, and if they kill one monster and still have some duration remaining, they will spread to others. They gain time by consuming each target though, and in a mob the locust swarm can act in chain lightning fashion, leaping from one enemy to another, killing a dozen or more targets if they are closely spaced. The locusts can also be sprayed on the WD's minions, where they will ride along, without hurting the minions, and grant poison damage to the minion's attacks. 
==Firebomb==
:Once it was a physical projectile designers liked that. It became a physical thing to throw, could go over walls. Become different tactics and use. Great example of how art and design can work together to iterate to make cool skill.
==Locust Swarm==

=Spirit Tree=
==Mass Confusion==
This curse-like mind control attack summons a blue spirit wherever the WD targets it. The spirit confuses some of the monsters in range, causing a aqua light to appear over their heads. Confused monsters seem to lose their AI, and they mill around more than usual. They may also attack, or be attacked by, other monsters. They are not the WD's minions though, and are not under his control, so he can kill confused monsters just like any other monster.
==Soul Harvest==
This skill creates a nova-like ring of blue smoke around the WD. All targets within the ring are damaged, and if the damage is enough to kill them, their souls (white/blue ghosts) swirl into the air, then down into the witch doctor, where they presumably add to his mana or life. The radius of the skill is not very large, so monsters need to be nearly in melee range to be affected.

==Horrify==
