New Skill Reveal - Contagion

So, basically making affliction warlocks, great

Yo Imma rf + this stuff with all the DOT and AOE nodes I can get and will see how it works. Should be cool with Abyssal Cry too

This looks really cool. It's like lay down the funk then dance around like a spooky witch doctor.

Meh. Would rather see the majority of the terrible skills, i.e. spark, fireball, arc, freezing pulse, etc. buffed.

stop

they even don't play this game

hurry up december!

Very interesting!

All set to play the new Witch Doctor, Haunt/Locust Swarm here I come!

This doesn't really address the issue. Proliferation for DoT is new and good, but it doesn't address the fundamental problem with DoT skills - they're just another DPS mechanic, which is slower than direct damage.

Clear speed is always an issue with DoT. You end up with useless skills for DPS like pre-buff puncture or current desecrate which only has a use as utility.

If these chaos DoT came with curse-like effects, such as attribute lowering they would see use in PvP and in hardcore.

I'll complain more about it later.

I'd rather get old skills balanced so the top meta isn't 4 skills.

When PA nerf? Broken gem with no brain mechanic.

I might actually try doing a chaos/DoT witch build soon.
