Cloud of Bats
Cloud of Bats is a rune effect in Firebats, a Physical Realm Witch Doctor skill.
This rune effect surrounds the Witch Doctor with a tornado of bats, dealing increasing amounts of weapon damage as Fire to anything that gets too near the Witch Doctor.
This is the highest damage version of Fire Bats, but the increase comes at a cost - The Witch Doctor has to be very close to the target, sacrificing both the safety of range, the accuracy, and the reliability of the other Firebats variations.
