-The toads behave much like [[Shock Pulse]] bolts, scattering out from the Witch Doctor and spreading out semi-randomly. The accuracy of this [[skill]] with just one cast is suspect. It's best spammed, cast six or eight times in rapid succession against a large number of attackers, especially if the enemies are large or are moving around erratically, which makes them more likely to encounter multiple toads.
