This sounds like it could be a powerful [[AoE]] [[skill]], but nothing is yet known about the sort of radius or damage it inflicts. The Like most Witch Doctor is not blessed with as many big damage skills as the Wizard, and has few skills that can strike multiple targets this one relies on striking numerous enemies at once for heavy damage. If this one can, it could be a mainstay of many high level Witch Doctor buildsor stacking multiple attacks simultaneously.

'''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's yet to be seen was one of the skills available in actionthe [[BlizzCon 2011]] PvP [[Arena]], and Adivirgi described using it:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzcon-arena-demo-witch-doctor-report]

Skill tiers were removed for <blockquote>''...this ability was a bit slower to hit targets then firing the darts, but its major advantage was that once you targeted someone, the [[July 2011 Press Event]]bolt would basically track the target until it hit them, so you didn’t really miss using this ability. The other major advantage was that you could shoot it through walls. It was nice to sit behind walls safely away from the battle and Spirit Barrage became a level 21 skillsend these bolts out at enemies.</blockquote>
