Skill Design
This skill was initially a nova-type of attack, one that dealt damage and fed mana back to the Witch Doctor for everything it killed. That changed entirely during development, and the skill now buffs the Witch Doctor's spell damage.

Development
Soul Harvest was first seen in the WWI 2008 build. The skill was just the same at BlizzCon 2009, but had changed entirely by Blizzcon 2010, changing from an attack nova type skill to a buffing sort of war cry.
