Some Witch Doctor skills sound awesome. "Soul Harvest." "Locust Swarm." "Skull of Flame."
Some need a little work. "Spider Statue." "Fire Bats." "Mass Conufuse."
So let's put our heads together and perhaps make a few friendly suggestions. Blizzard hasn't committed itself to these newer skills' names yet, so there may still be time to make a positive difference.
For Fire Bats, here are a couple suggestions:
1."Ancestral Blaze": shamanistic societies frequently attached animistic qualities to their ancestors, in this case exploding bats!
2."Elemental": a more traditional fire skill name, also referring to the pyromantic embodiment of a spirit (and this is in the Witch Doctor's spirit skill tree)
I'm leaving for work now, but "Spider Statue" is the next skill I wanna spend some time on. Have fun being creative, now.
"Arachnostone" - Giving the statue itself an actual name seems like a good idea. Thus putting the Arachnostone down calls its creepy, crawly minions to do your dirty work.
"Plague of Spiders" - Granted there is already a skill called Plague of Toads, but I think it would be neat to keep a theme going with all the Plague skills, ie Plague of Locusts, Plague of Death, Plague of the Firstborn, ext.
shamanistic societies frequently attached animistic qualities to their ancestors, in this case exploding bats!
so why not call it firebats? honestly, i like the original name better and donīt see the point in complicating things. barb skill leap fore example explains what the skill does, no need to call it anything ells, same goes for firebats
I think it's would be hilarious if the skills names will be like Indian names. For example Firebats will be Bats from Cave or Terrify will be One Who Fears All ^^
And I like Firebats. Spider Statue is another thing however..Although just calling it Arachnids Totem is already much much better.
Totally awesome names, yes....however howl of terror would be confused with the fear curse. Stone Form doesn't really explain quite what the spider skill does, it sounds more like stone skin, which is a wizard skill. Breath of fire doesn't include anything of the bats that are an integral part of the skill's animation, plus it's the name of a whole franchise of role playing games, which would be weird.
I like this one. They should make it the default name for the skill.

That sounds AWESOME. Really. Although Horrify is good enough. I guess this is more fitting for a curse that makes a monster attack everything very fast and very hard- something like a combination of Frenzy and Mass Confusion.
Anyway, after reading the Barb's skill tree I think the Barb is the char that needs this kind of thread. The WD is good (except for Spider Statue, ofc).
