Media Day WD Gameplay observations....

[DuB]

Was watching the video and saw that he had some new (I think) equipment in his off-hand opposite of the usual dagger.

It looks like he's carrying a snake for most the video, and I believe near the end of the WD portion it's a bag of skulls. I like the snake part though (if that is indeed what it is).

Also.. what does the giant spider coming from the glass bottle do? Anyone know? Is it a skill or a throwable item?

Checked it and it pretty damn looks like a snake.
The other thingy looks pretty much like some bones tied to together on a rope, but who knows.
Maybe we will be able to carry hearts and eyeballs around. Me like!

Don't really know, but it seems to look like a skill since nothing was ever said about the possibility of using jarate and such stuff.

Maybe that spider gives a buff / debuff.

Deleted - double post.

I'm thinking it was some sort of AOE skill. Because he throws it at the monsters and then when they die a puff of black smoke comes up. It could very well be a debuff though.

But how can this big spider fit into a tiny itty bitty glas jar?

It looks like the falling zombie tower is a rune effect apllied to the wall of zombies.

How can he raise zombies to piggy back and maul? He's a witch doctor.

My first impression of the giant spider skill was a runed effect of the corpse spiders skill where the WD summons a giant tarantula. The animation looks to me like there are a bunch of smaller black and gray spiders running around in a small radius around the giant spider, dealing presumably aoe damage. The giant spider seems to be walking towards other enemies across the screen, implying that it is a summon of some sort rather than a regular damage dealing skill. This is all speculation but I thought it could be a similar timed summon skill like the Giant Toad rune variant of the skill Plague of Toads.

[Frantic]

Yeah I agree brick. After the WD and summons finished them off he ran off but the spider pretty much stayed there.. so it must be a small area type of summon.

Anyone notice how fast the Flame Skull spell was thrown? I wonder if that is a rune and/or the passive.
