Spirit skills[edit | edit source]

The Spirit tree focuses on mana regeneration, crowd control, and being more adept at surviving. Like any skill tree focusing on any element of gameplay, it cannot be called a skill tree if it doesn't have signature skills that can actually kill. Luckily for us, the Spirit tree has a few cool skills that makes enemies easy to kill, like Haunt, Soul Harvest and Mass Confusion.

Tier I[edit | edit source]

Haunt
- Launch a Spirit to invade the bodies of your enemies, causing sustained damage over time; the spirit lasts longer when inhabiting a host than when searching for one.
Spirit Vessel
- Replenishes your mana when consuming a health globe.

Tier II[edit | edit source]

Soul Harvest
- Draw out the life of enemies to replenish your mana.
Rituals
- Increase your spell power by a percentage (%) of your vitality.

Tier III[edit | edit source]

Spirit Sense
- Increase damage against targets with low health by X% percentage.
Horrify
- Don a spectral mask that horrifies enemies, causing them to run away from you.

Tier IV[edit | edit source]

Spirit Barrage
- A multitude of spirit bolts bombard enemies in targeted areas.
Ritual of Blood
- Whilst active, X% of all mana costs are paid for with health.

Tier V[edit | edit source]

Spirit Walk
- Traverse your physical body into the spirit realm, allowing unhindered movement for a time.
Meditation
- Your spirit spells return X% of their mana cost over 10 seconds.

Tier VI[edit | edit source]

Death Pact
- Induce momentary invulnerability whenever you are reduced to 10% of your maximum health. This effect cannot occur more than once every 60 seconds.
Mass Confusion
- Induce paranoia in enemies, causing some to fight for the Witch Doctor for a period of time.
