The listing was fleshed out at Blizzcon 2009, but most of his skills, especially the summoning ones, remained [[NYI]]. The current information was revealed at Blizzcon 2010, with the passive skills removed (see the [[Witch Doctor traits]] and a near-final skill listing.

A large number of the higher level WD spells have still never been shown publicly, in contrast to the skills of the Wizard and Barbarian, almost all of which have been shown off.

Plague of Toads

2011-05-25T12:28:38Z

Frugowilson:

'''Plague of Toads''' is a [[Witch Doctor]] Tier 1 [[Witch Doctor skills|skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 2, which summons a pack of poisonous toads who hop into enemies and explode, dealing poison damage.

==Background==
{{Skillbox D3
|game= Diablo III
|portrait= Plague-of-toads2.jpg

|name= Plague of Toads
|user= Witch Doctor
|tier= 1
|clvl= 2
|description= Release a handful of toads that deal [[poison]] damage to anybody who steps on them.
|type= Damage/[[AoE]]
|resource= Costs [[Mana]]
|alabaster= Blinding gas
|crimson= [[Fire]] damage
|golden= Reduced cost
|indigo= Rain of toads
|obsidian= One giant toad
}}
The Witch Doctor sends forth toads that hop into enemies, exploding in an acidic blast.

==Skill Design==
The toads behave much like [[Charged Bolt]]s, scattering out from the Witch Doctor and spreading out semi-randomly. The accuracy of this [[skill]] with just one cast is suspect. It's best spammed, cast six or eight times in rapid succession against a large number of attackers, especially if the enemies are moving around erratically and are thus more likely to encounter multiple toads each.

Runestones can change this strategy, of course.

==Skill Rank Table==
[[Image:Wd-plague-toads1.jpg|thumb|400px|GO-GO-GADGET TOADS!]]
* '''Rank 1:''' Release a handful of toads that deal 6-9 poison damage to anybody who steps on them. Cost: 9 mana.
* '''Rank 2:''' Release a handful of toads that deal 8-11 poison damage to anybody who steps on them. Cost: 9 mana. (A)
* '''Rank 3:''' Release a handful of toads that deal 10-13 poison damage to anybody who steps on them. Cost: 9 mana. (A)
* '''Rank 4:''' Release a handful of toads that deal 12-15 poison damage to anybody who steps on them. Cost: 9 mana. (A)
* '''Rank 5:''' Release a handful of toads that deal 14-17 poison damage to anybody who steps on them. Cost: 9 mana. (A)

(A) = Assumed

==Trait Synergies==
Several of the known [[Witch Doctor traits]] have bonuses that boost the effectiveness of Plague of Toads.
* [[Plagued]]: Increases the damage of Animal and Plague skills.
* [[Quickening]]: Increases the Witch Doctor's spell-casting speed.
* [[Staff Specialization]]: Increases damage done by skills when the Witch Doctor is wielding a staff.
* [[Right-Handed]]: Increases damage done by skills when the Witch Doctor is wielding a weapon in his/her right hand.
* [[Beast Hunter]]: Damage bonus against Beasts.
* [[Demonsbane]]: Damage bonus against Demons.
* [[Just... Stay... Dead!]]: Damage bonus against Undead.
'''Note:''' The current [[trait]] list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game release.

==Skill Rune Effects==
The [[rune]] effects for Plague of Toads were revealed at [[BlizzCon 2010]] by [[Wyatt Cheng]] in the gameplay panel<ref>[http://www.diablowiki.net/Gameplay_Panel_Blizzcon_2010#Specific_Skill_Rune_Examples BlizzCon 2010 Gameplay Panel Transcript]</ref>.

[[File:Runes-plague-of-toads-all.jpg|thumb|400px|Plague of Toads rune options.]]

* [[Alabaster rune]]: The toads also blind enemies.
* [[Crimson rune]]: Flaming toads add fire damage to their attack.
* [[Golden rune]]: Reduced cost per cast. From PCG issue 221-- it adds more toads per cast.
* [[Indigo rune]]: Changes the skill to a rain of toads, which fall down on the targeted location.
* [[Obsidian rune]]: One huge frog that uses a sticky tongue to capture and consume monsters in one bite. It spits out the treasure and items. Can eat [[Champions]] (possibly only at higher/highest rune level?), but not [[bosses]] or (presumably) bigger enemies.
** [[Bashiok]] (jokingly?) said[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-on-crafted-sets-and-toad-licking/] that the mega-toad would "lick them to death" when faced with monsters it could not eat in one shot.
**In comments to that same news post, '''Exile''', a fan who tried this skill with the Obsidian rune at Blizzcon 2010, reported that the toad would eat bosses, deal some damage, then spit them back out. This forced the other players in the party to stand and wait while the toad chewed up the boss, before hacking it back out so the battle could go on. This is likely a temporary state of affairs, and the "lick to death" option sounds more viable for a final game solution.

==Development==
'''Plague of Toads''' was first seen in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] gameplay demo. The old version was in the [[Plague Skill Tree]] (later renamed to [[Zombie Skill Tree]]), and the toads were a green/gray-ish color. [[Flux]] had the opportunity to try the skill:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/witch-doctor-gameplay-report/]

<blockquote>''Plague of Toads were great fun to use too, though less damaging than [[Firebats]]. At level 1 (the only level possible for active spells in the Blizzcon demo) the WD tossed out three toads, which then hopped forward like scaly, slimy, living Charged Bolts. They weren’t entirely mindless—they homed in on enemies, and exploded with a splat of green acid (poison) when they hit a target. If there was no target in range, the toads would hop 3 or 4 times, covering maybe half the visible screen, before bursting in air. They left behind splats of acid on the ground that would damage enemies who stood in it.</blockquote>

For [[BlizzCon 2009]], Plague of Toads was at Tier III in the [[Voodoo Skill Tree]]. Their color was enhanced to a sort of yellowish orange, but their intelligence seemed to have downgraded. [[Flux]] explained:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/full-witch-doctor-skills/]

<blockquote>''While the looks were upgraded, their function had been lessened a bit. The toads are stupider, more like the amphibian Charged Bolts they sort of resemble. They no longer home in on targets, and very seldom do you hit a normal target with more than one toad from the same cast. That might be less true at higher levels (or with the multi-strike rune socketed), as you gain more toads.</blockquote>

Plague of Toads was available in the [[BlizzCon 2010]] gameplay demo as a Tier 1 skill in the new tree-less system, but it wasn't one of the Witch Doctor's starting skills.

Known Items Listing

2011-05-23T12:15:15Z

Frugowilson: /* List of Prefixes/Suffixes/Non-Magical Prefixes */

Little is known about the [[Items]] in [[Diablo III]]. There will likely be uniques, sets and many other items of the types we're familiar with from ''Diablo II'', but this far before release the D3 team is keeping quiet about item types, and what we see in screenshots and gameplay movies is subject to change.

==Items in the WWI Gameplay Movie==
The name colours of these items are not yet confirmed. White items seem to be normal, but purple are unknown. There were no purple named item types in Diablo II, so it's unknown if these are analogous to Rare, Set, or Unique, or are an entirely new type of item. Also keep in mind that item stats are the sort of feature that is highly subject to change during development.

The Diablo III team is taking a lot of inspiration from [[World of Warcraft]], meaning the purple items in Diablo III could be Epics.

==Item Colors and Item Types==

The Background and the name of items is colored to show which Item Type they are, The colors and item types are:

*Normal items = No/White Color: An Item that has no magical effects.
*Magic items = Blue Color: An Item that has some random magical effects/Attributes, each effect/attribute bonus gives a specific prefix and/or a specific suffix to the name of the item to reflect this.
*Rare items = Yellow Color: An Item that has Many random magical effects/Attributes, including some unique ones and is better by stats than a magical item. It comes with a randomly selected preset name.
*Set items = Green Color: Set items belong to a set, which is powerful if the set is complete. Some [[Set_Items| set]]s are made for specific classes and increase the class' skills and gives effects/attributes more appropriate for that class. Each set and set piece is Uniquely named. Set items complement one another, so if you have 2 different items of the same set (I.E Boots and Gloves), you will get a bonus for having 2 items of the set. Set items can either be crafted (lower level), or can be drops (end-game). All set items are of legendary quality.
*Unique/Legendary items = Orange Color: Considered to be the best items in the game for certain slots/builds, they will be uniquely named, will look unique, and will possess unique effects/attributes. The color was changed to orange because of the similarity between gold and yellow in Diablo II.

==Item Stats==
Items that were seen hovered on, allowing their stats to be displayed in their respective [[Tooltip]]s.

===Consumables===
*'''[[Elixirs]]''' provide effects for a limited period, and have a number on the end indicating the rank of the elixir (so far, only rank 1 and rank 3 elixirs were seen). Higher ranks of Elixirs could mean better effects and/or longer lasting time. (Standard lasting time is 300 seconds as was seen in the BlizzCon Demo)
**Elixir of Strength I. : Gives X amount of Strength for Y amount of time.
**Elixir of Dexterity I. : Gives X amount of Dexterity for Y amount of time.
**Elixir of Vitality I. : Gives X amount of Vitality for Y amount of time.
**Elixir of Willpower I. : Gives X amount of Willpower for Y amount of time.
**Elixir of Regeneration I. : Restores X amount of HP over Y amount of time. [[Image:Elixir.png]]

*'''Scrolls''' are small, stackable, 1-time-use items that provide effects for a limited period. World of Warcraft has similar scrolls, which buff the player for 30 to 60 minutes with various buffs (mostly stats and armor). They too have ranks, except they are represent by an adjective instead of a number, that could mean better effects and/or longer lasting time.
**''Scroll of Town Portal (Removed) : Opens a portal to town. Could be a completely different scroll.[[Image:Blue_Scroll.png]]''
**Unknown Red Scroll : As seen in the latest screenshots, 4 stacked red scrolls. They could be Scrolls of Identity, but this is not confirmed.[[Image:Red_Scroll.png]]
**Scroll of Superior Protection : Gives X amount of Armor for Y amount of time.
**Scroll of Detection : It is unknown what this scroll does, but it was seen in the [[GamesCom 2009]] demo, so it may have a good use, like detecting invisible monsters, for example.
**Scroll of Wealth : Allows the player to sell his items/loot right on the spot. May look like a Yellow Scroll.

*'''[[Potions]]''' are concoctions that provide the player with some sort of relief. 1 Potion has been seen so far in inventories, they have the same icon as they had in D2.
**Unknown Potion : According to video made at BlizzCon, this should be Elixir of Willpower I.[[Image:Potion.png]]
***Super Health Potion
***Health Potion
***Lesser Health Potion

*'''[[Vials]]''' are a sort of potion, which are made for the player's teammates. The player cannot use them on himself, Only One vial has been seen in an inventory (in the GamesCom Video).
**Vial of Resurrection : In the item description (hard to read, by the way), it says ".... Fallen Party Member" (The 1st 3-4 words are unreadable). This implies that this vial is made to resurrect fallen party members.

==Jewelry==
'''[[:category:Jewelry|Jewelry]]'''
*'''[[Amulet]]s''' are worn in the Amulet Slot. There are various designs of amulets, but their effects/stats are determined by what item type they are, since each item type has its own rules regarding effects/stats.
*'''[[Rings]]''' are worn in the Rings Slots. There are various designs of rings, but their effects/stats are determined by what item type they are, since each item type has its own rules regarding effects/stats.
*'''[[Gem]]s''' are small, precious stones that are magically enchanted and can be socketed into an item, to give it a permanent effect (it is not known whether you can replace socketed gems). Each gem type has properties that give a specific effect depending where you socket it. Ranks of gems exist, and are named by how fine they are cut (Chipped, Flawless). As stated in a recent talk with [[Jay Wilson|Jay Wilson]], Sockets are random and affect all items, meaning that 1 player may get a Legendary item while another player gets that same item but with a socket(s).
**Topaz : A Yellow Coloured precious gem. May have Electrical properties.[[Image:Topaz.png]]
**Emerald : A Green Coloured precious gem. May have Poison properties.[[Image:Emerald.png]]
***Weapons: X% Casting Speed
***Helm: Attacker takes X Damage
***Other: X to Dexterity
**Sapphire : A Blue Coloured precious gem. May have Frost properties.[[Image:Sapphire.png]]

==List of Prefixes/Suffixes/Non-Magical Prefixes==
Items with non-magical prefixes, are not Magic items, they still maintain a white colored name, they are rather, prefixes that make the item better than normal, sometimes adding magical effects BUT not making the item change its color to blue. Also the magical effects (if any) are randomized.

[[File:Item-gamescon2010-ornate-boots-of-accuracy.jpg|frame|August 2010.]]
Note: "..." = the name of the item. So ".... of Storms" could mean "Heavy Axe of Storms" or "Short Sword of Storms"

* '''List of [[Prefix]]es'''

** "Restless ..." : Increases the base experience rewarded per kill by X.

==Crafting==

==Skill Runes==

*'''Skill [[Runes]]''' are items that can be socketed into skills to improve or change them uniquely based on the rune. There are 5 rune types: Crimson, Indigo, Obsidian, Gold, and Alabaster.

Each type of rune affects every skill differently, although there are similarities. Runes have 7 ranks of quality, each rank is visualized by a spike extruding from the rune (lowest rank doesn't have a spike, highest rank has 6 spikes).

Runes have undergone a tortuous evolution, with a whole new system revealed in August, 2010 and fleshed out at Blizzcon in October 2010. See the [[runestones]] page for all the updates.

==Misc Small Items==
According to Jay Wilson during his short interview for [[BlizzCast_Episode_6|the 6th Blizzcast episode]], elixirs will provide a short-term buff. For more information see [[BlizzCast_Episode_6|a transcript of the blizzcast]], or our article on [[elixirs]].

Known Items Listing

2011-05-23T12:13:40Z

Frugowilson: fixing typo

Little is known about the [[Items]] in [[Diablo III]]. There will likely be uniques, sets and many other items of the types we're familiar with from ''Diablo II'', but this far before release the D3 team is keeping quiet about item types, and what we see in screenshots and gameplay movies is subject to change.

==Items in the WWI Gameplay Movie==
The name colours of these items are not yet confirmed. White items seem to be normal, but purple are unknown. There were no purple named item types in Diablo II, so it's unknown if these are analogous to Rare, Set, or Unique, or are an entirely new type of item. Also keep in mind that item stats are the sort of feature that is highly subject to change during development.

The Diablo III team is taking a lot of inspiration from [[World of Warcraft]], meaning the purple items in Diablo III could be Epics.

==Item Colors and Item Types==

The Background and the name of items is colored to show which Item Type they are, The colors and item types are:

*Normal items = No/White Color: An Item that has no magical effects.
*Magic items = Blue Color: An Item that has some random magical effects/Attributes, each effect/attribute bonus gives a specific prefix and/or a specific suffix to the name of the item to reflect this.
*Rare items = Yellow Color: An Item that has Many random magical effects/Attributes, including some unique ones and is better by stats than a magical item. It comes with a randomly selected preset name.
*Set items = Green Color: Set items belong to a set, which is powerful if the set is complete. Some [[Set_Items| set]]s are made for specific classes and increase the class' skills and gives effects/attributes more appropriate for that class. Each set and set piece is Uniquely named. Set items complement one another, so if you have 2 different items of the same set (I.E Boots and Gloves), you will get a bonus for having 2 items of the set. Set items can either be crafted (lower level), or can be drops (end-game). All set items are of legendary quality.
*Unique/Legendary items = Orange Color: Considered to be the best items in the game for certain slots/builds, they will be uniquely named, will look unique, and will possess unique effects/attributes. The color was changed to orange because of the similarity between gold and yellow in Diablo II.

==Item Stats==
Items that were seen hovered on, allowing their stats to be displayed in their respective [[Tooltip]]s.

===Consumables===
*'''[[Elixirs]]''' provide effects for a limited period, and have a number on the end indicating the rank of the elixir (so far, only rank 1 and rank 3 elixirs were seen). Higher ranks of Elixirs could mean better effects and/or longer lasting time. (Standard lasting time is 300 seconds as was seen in the BlizzCon Demo)
**Elixir of Strength I. : Gives X amount of Strength for Y amount of time.
**Elixir of Dexterity I. : Gives X amount of Dexterity for Y amount of time.

**Elixir of Regeneration I. : Restores X amount of HP over Y amount of time. [[Image:Elixir.png]]

*'''Scrolls''' are small, stackable, 1-time-use items that provide effects for a limited period. World of Warcraft has similar scrolls, which buff the player for 30 to 60 minutes with various buffs (mostly stats and armor). They too have ranks, except they are represent by an adjective instead of a number, that could mean better effects and/or longer lasting time.
**''Scroll of Town Portal (Removed) : Opens a portal to town. Could be a completely different scroll.[[Image:Blue_Scroll.png]]''
**Unknown Red Scroll : As seen in the latest screenshots, 4 stacked red scrolls. They could be Scrolls of Identity, but this is not confirmed.[[Image:Red_Scroll.png]]
**Scroll of Superior Protection : Gives X amount of Armor for Y amount of time.
**Scroll of Detection : It is unknown what this scroll does, but it was seen in the [[GamesCom 2009]] demo, so it may have a good use, like detecting invisible monsters, for example.
**Scroll of Wealth : Allows the player to sell his items/loot right on the spot. May look like a Yellow Scroll.

*'''[[Potions]]''' are concoctions that provide the player with some sort of relief. 1 Potion has been seen so far in inventories, they have the same icon as they had in D2.
**Unknown Potion : According to video made at BlizzCon, this should be Elixir of Willpower I.[[Image:Potion.png]]
***Super Health Potion
***Health Potion
***Lesser Health Potion

*'''[[Vials]]''' are a sort of potion, which are made for the player's teammates. The player cannot use them on himself, Only One vial has been seen in an inventory (in the GamesCom Video).
**Vial of Resurrection : In the item description (hard to read, by the way), it says ".... Fallen Party Member" (The 1st 3-4 words are unreadable). This implies that this vial is made to resurrect fallen party members.

==Jewelry==
'''[[:category:Jewelry|Jewelry]]'''
*'''[[Amulet]]s''' are worn in the Amulet Slot. There are various designs of amulets, but their effects/stats are determined by what item type they are, since each item type has its own rules regarding effects/stats.
*'''[[Rings]]''' are worn in the Rings Slots. There are various designs of rings, but their effects/stats are determined by what item type they are, since each item type has its own rules regarding effects/stats.
*'''[[Gem]]s''' are small, precious stones that are magically enchanted and can be socketed into an item, to give it a permanent effect (it is not known whether you can replace socketed gems). Each gem type has properties that give a specific effect depending where you socket it. Ranks of gems exist, and are named by how fine they are cut (Chipped, Flawless). As stated in a recent talk with [[Jay Wilson|Jay Wilson]], Sockets are random and affect all items, meaning that 1 player may get a Legendary item while another player gets that same item but with a socket(s).
**Topaz : A Yellow Coloured precious gem. May have Electrical properties.[[Image:Topaz.png]]
**Emerald : A Green Coloured precious gem. May have Poison properties.[[Image:Emerald.png]]
***Weapons: X% Casting Speed
***Helm: Attacker takes X Damage
***Other: X to Dexterity
**Sapphire : A Blue Coloured precious gem. May have Frost properties.[[Image:Sapphire.png]]

==List of Prefixes/Suffixes/Non-Magical Prefixes==
Items with non-magical prefixes, are not Magic items, they still maintain a white colored name, they are rather, prefixes that make the item better than normal, sometimes adding magical effects BUT not making the item change its color to blue. Also the magical effects (if any) are randomized.

[[File:Item-gamescon2010-ornate-boots-of-accuracy.jpg|frame|August 2010.]]
Note: "..." = the name of the item. So ".... of Storms" could mean "Heavy Axe of Storms" or "Short Sword of Storms"

Frugowilson:

Hi! This is a great wiki. I'm glad there is a place where information about the game is being compiled together. I especially appreciate how many pages show the evolution of the game over the past years as more info is revealed and builds change.

This page, "Key pages", is locked for editing so I wanted to point out a typo:
Under Monsters --> Champions there is a stray ']' that shows up:

<nowiki>"• [[Champions]]] "</nowiki> becomes:
• [[Champions]]] 

Thanks.
