'''Soul Harvest''' is a [[Witch Doctor]] Tier 3 [[Witch Doctor skills|skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|character level]] 6. This skill has changed a great deal during development, and is now a buff that boosts the Witch Doctor's spell damage when there are numerous enemies in the vicinity. 

'''Soul Harvest''' was first seen at [[WWI 2008]] and [[BlizzCon 2008]], where it was in the [[WWI 2008Spirit Skill Tree]] at Tier II.
