I was wondering how would the witch doctor summon the fetish army?
Will it be a Channeling skill? Where you wont be able to do anything else while summoning? Are all the fetishes the same?
I personally will like it to be
1) summon a chief/shaman fetish and the chief/shaman will summon the fetish minions.
2) During the duration when a fetish is slain, the chief/shaman may revive it. (like old D2)
3) include different types of fetish in the army.(ranged/magic/meelee)
Yeah, it'd be cool to have a "fallen-family" relationship with fetish army, but I think it that would be some sort of rune modification. Original fetish army would just be a bunch of little dudes with knives stabbing people in the knees :D, and then for example a gold rune would add a shaman to the mix.
On channeling, just my opinion, but any channeled move really detracts from the pace of a fast action game. Especially in Diablo, where you always want to be moving. So I would guess no, for that reason, and a fetish army is probably just going to be cannon fodder while you throw firebombs so channeling would make it pointless.
Rune 1: Turn half of your army in ranged fetishs.
Rune 2: Adds a shaman that heals or revives fetishes.
Rune 3: Adds a offensive fire spitting shaman.
Rune 4: Turn your army in a army of undead fetish (killer dolls). When they die they cause physical damage in area, like in d2.
Rune 5: Give then poison knifes or something. Maybe their attacks should cause slow.

No way man. The very fact that you need to move alot makes channeling spells in diablo just much more cooler to use. Channeling spells adds a huge twist in gameplay. The wizard for exemple has desintegrate and ray of frost and looks in video how risky this spell is! Very nice.
From what I saw in a short PvP video, the Witch Doctor summons the thing that the Fetish held the Gidbinn in Act 3 in Diablo II, with a large green aura around it, and then the fetishes start popping out of the aura. No lie. I'll try to find the vid.

I'm very curious what video this is, because that certainly was not a playable skill at the last Blizzcon.

bomber man any1?
since were incorperating other games i say a rune turns them into worms with bazookas, uzis and napalm.
on a serious note tho, i think it will b a short channeling spell. (i have to have a drink sometime).
Thanks Caniroth for the awesome sig!
