The Witch Doctor sends forth toads that hop into enemies, exploding in an acidic blast.

Skill Design

A good skill to cast and forget, switching to other skills to finish off enemies that might have survived. The toads start hopping towards random enemies and explode when they make contact with them. Also, the toad's carcasses deal damage to enemies who stand on them. It works very well against the Dune Dervish, because the toads cannot be reflected back by the dervish's Whirlwind.

Development

Plague of Toads was seen in every Diablo 3 game demo to date, and was moved and visually changed, judging from the latest demo. The old Plague of Toads was in the Plague Skill Tree (which itself, was renamed to Zombie Skill Tree), and the toads were a green/grey-ish color.
