Skill Rune Effects
The rune effects for Poison Dart were revealed at BlizzCon 2010 by Wyatt Cheng in the gameplay panel.[1]
- Alabaster rune: A snake is fired out to glom onto the face of an enemy. It wriggles around in ecstasy as it slowly poisons its target.
- Crimson rune: Substantial fire damage is added to the dart.
- Golden rune: Mana is recovered with dart hits.
- Indigo rune: Grants machine gun darts, allowing four (or more) to be fired in very rapid succession.
- Obsidian rune: Darted enemies are slowed.
Development
Poison Dart was revealed as a Witch Doctor skill in early August, 2010. A fan in the official forums proposed a dart gun weapon for the Witch Doctor, and got more than he bargained for in the reply:[2]
It was first seen in Blizzcon 2010 and skill runes were also shown at this moment. It was one of the Witch Doctor's starting skills, and Flux obligingly wrote about it:[1]
The main attack skill that the WD started with, this one was also disappointing while un-runed. It’s pretty much what you’d think; a tiny green projectile that deals impact damage and some DoT to the target. The dart moves quickly through the air so it’s got good accuracy, but the casting (blowing) animation is very slow. Lift the pipe, squat down into the shooting stance, fire, stand back up again, repeat. This results in a poor DPS, even though the actual dart isn’t terrible.
Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Poison Dart became a level 1 skill.
