 ==Development==
 '''Firebats''' was first seen in the [[WWI 2008]] build. It was originally located in the [[Spirit Skill Tree]], then moved to the [[Voodoo Skill Tree]], before skill trees were removed entirely.
@@ Line 32: / Line 35: @@
 <blockquote>''The other interesting thing about this skill was the firing mechanism. You couldn’t click it. If you did nothing would happen. Literally; sometimes one bat would squeak out, but usually not even that. The spell dealt very good DoT, but you had to hold down the mouse button to let the bats flow forth. It took a second or two for the full flow to get going, and once it did the damage was great, but you had to commit to using it.</blockquote>
-Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], and Firebats became a level 9 skill.
