==Skill Design==
Another AoE damaging skill, will probably help a lot against ranged casters, since a critical hit from this spell will silence them, and keep damaging them until the spell's duration is over, bringing them to their last bit of health.

==Development==
'''Spirit Barrage''' was first seen in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo as a Tier IV skill on the [[Spirit Skill Tree]], but was not yet implemented. It was also listed in the [[BlizzCon 2010]] demo, though there are no gameplay reports of this skill from that event.
===Beta===Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Spirit Barrage became a level 21 skill, out of the reach of beta players. Fortunately, it was one of the skills available in the [[BlizzCon 2011]] PvP [[Rune|Skill RuneArena]] Effects==* None known, and Adivirgi described using it:[http://diablo.incgamers. com/blog/comments/blizzcon-arena-demo-witch-doctor-report]
==Development==''Spirit Barrage<blockquote>'' ...this ability was a bit slower to hit targets then firing the darts, but its major advantage was first seen in that once you targeted someone, the bolt would basically track the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demotarget until it hit them, and is a new skillso you didn’t really miss using this ability. The other major advantage was that you could shoot it through walls. It is unknown if this skill was iterated, nice to sit behind walls safely away from the battle and send these bolts out at least publiclyenemies. <!--<gallery>Image:Diablo_III_Logo.jpg|Skill use 1</gallery>==Trivia==--blockquote>
The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, and Spirit Barrage was classified as a Decay skill and moved to level 17. It was [[nerf]]ed slightly for [[Beta Patch 14]], and had its mana cost increased for [[Beta Patch 15]].
