I'm sure all of you remember the little Flayers with their little blowdarts.
So I'm surprised that the Witch Doctor doesn't have a blowdart skill, or even a class-specific blowdart weapon class.
I don't know about you, but somehow I feel that the Witch Doctor should be using one of these. It'd be like arrows, with different tips for different effects.
Hahaha thats could be a nice idea. Maybe a Poison Bolt spell, were the WD take one of those and shoot at their enemys causing damage over time and/or a slow poison effect !
That's a good point, it does seem like the blowdart would be a good weapon of choice for the WD. I think he should also have a ceremonial rattle that is imbued with witch-magick.
And now, I shamelessly present the Hall of Blowdarts for those interested:
As you can see, they don't always have the intended effect.
How would the blowdart be visually, though? A single shot seems boring so I'd imagine it'd be like a rapid-fire blowdart spell. It should have a DoT as well. I don't know about poison because the spells we've seen from the WD have already been poison like the Plague of Toads and that Spider Totem. Maybe like a "decay" DoT.
That seems like a really cool idea actually, only thing I dislike about it is if I ever use the blowdart I'll be reminded of those god damned annoying midgets.

Something like some tribe seen for the first time ever by a fly-by- no ones ever landed or something. It was in some thread relating Diablo II Act III and real life, I think.
I wonder just how likely it is that there are entire tribes of people on the Earth that we have yet to discover. Not to get too off topic or anything, but if these people really had been untouched by time for so long, I find it intriguing and somewhat unsettling.

I think it happened a few years ago...but for the most part we know about these tribes, and we try to minimize our impact upon them...like, by not flying planes over those areas, etc..to be respectful.
I've seen this before. It's kind of an infamous picture isn't it? It's kind of creepy I think.

Naw, this picture was this year. In fact, it was about 4-5 months ago.
Just goes to show there are still mysteries left in this world.
Lets trade them cold infected blankets and shiney pebbles for all their lands!!!
On topic though, how would a blow dart work in Diablo. Remember it has to be fast paced and action filled. It would be like a machine gun out of the guys mouth... wouldn't he hypoventilate?

Not if he enchanted his lungs If the blow darts do an area effect like poison explosion or... regular explosion, I don't imagine that speed would be a necessity.

Hey now, remember, the game doesn't have to be realistic, it has to be believable. I mean, can someone really shoot flaming bats at someone?
Yea I was just being a tard, obviously they could implement darts in Diablo 3. It would be like short bursts of strafe darts, poison darts, fire darts, explosive darts, mutlishot darts, guided darts, slow darts and so on... With dart masteries and critical dart strikes
When I think of a Witch Doctor myself - I think of an African throwing a small bag of bones onto a weird symbol drawn in the dusty sand and then a giant skeleton errupting infront of him that he controls from behind like some voodoo puppeteer
Darts make me think of the Last of the Mohicans or Apocalypto

I can see where this is going lol
Next thing to ensure cooperative play- one wd can get up on the shoulders of another and merge their masks into one gigantic scary mofo mask becoming...THE WITCH DOCTOR SHAMAN! Complete with inferno and resurrection capability! Spell will be called 'Gaze of Endugu' lol- how ridiculous but awesome would that be
Why would a blow dart ever have a chance to instant kill? We aren't talking about a high momentum projectile here. It wouldn't be able to penetrate the skull and obliterate the brain. From what I've read, they are mainly used to kill small prey or stun/tranquilize other prey. The syringe penetrates the skin and the momentum injects the substance. A bow and arrow wouldn't be very good for stunning or traquilizing as it is a high momentum, flesh tearin machine with a good chance to kill immediately.

A poison dart skill would be cool though.
And I have a question about this picture.
