The Witch Doctor sends forth a parasite to inhabit the body of his enemies, causing excruciating pain over long durations and becoming a minion of the witch doctor once the target is drained of life.
==Skill Design==
It is unknown for how long this DoT lasts, but or how much damage it may be the only does. This seems like essentially a free way for a witch doctor to kill enemies by himself who specialize in this tree. This skill had the words "Not Yet Implemented" writtenget more Mongrels, but since Mongrels are easy enough to cast on their own, so the low damages seen below will probably increaseutility of this one is suspect. This skill also saves the Perhaps a bold Witch Doctor some health, since summoning [[Summon Zombie Dog|Zombie Dogs]] costs healthcould go without any points in Mongrels and just use Parasite to keep up a flock of minions.
It's not known how this one will interact with Mongrels; since a Witch Doctor can only have X number of Mongrels at once, will additional Mongrels spawned by this skill count against that cap? Would the oldest existing Mongrel expire, or explode in a Sacrifice when a new one appeared via Parasite?
