A simple listing of Witch Doctor skills, as seen on the Blizzard site and observed in the WWI gameplay movie.
=Offensive Spells= ==Locust Swarm==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==
This skill allows the WD to lob blazing projectiles, like molotov cocktails, at his enemies. They may be thrown varying distances, from most of the way across the screen to nearly at the WD's feet. The burning bottle tumbles end over end in mid-air, and explodes with a burst of flame when it lands, dealing fire damage and knocking back anything in the immediate vicinity. The spell seems to involve some sort of fire spirit, not just a flammable substance, since a flaming figure is briefly visible overhead when the firebomb bursts. It also sets targets aflame, and they take continued damage from the fire for several seconds. There are fires left burning on the ground after a firebomb detonates, but these do not seem to deal damage to, or set fire to, targets that walk through them.
==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 damage, 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.
=Summoning Spells= ==Zombie Wallof Zombies=={| align="right" width="33%"! Wall of Zombies| Rank: 4/5<br>Zombies erupt from the earth to attack your enemies.<br>Current level: 4<br>Zombies attack for 15 damage.<br>Next level: 5<br>Zombies attack for 15 damage.|}
This skill works much like the Necromancer's bone wall; causing a straight line of obstacles to erupt from the earth. Not merely obstacles though, this wall is made of zombified creatures who claw at and deal damage to any monsters who come into range. Monsters attack the wall, so this isn't hard to do.
The wall zombies are seem to be very powerful in the WWI gameplay movie, ripping every monster dozens of Moon Clan goatmen to shreds in just seconds, but it's assumed the . The skill is high level4 though, or as revealed by the character has a lot of points in ithover text, since so likely it looks overpoweredwould be much less powerful at level 1. The wall will theoretically serve a defensive purpose as well; blocking shots from ranged attackers. It's not known if it can stop the advance of larger monsters, who might just step over it or crush it. ==Summon Mongrel==
