"Szab the necromancer was the first outsider to meet the people of the Teganze. He attempted to explain the philosophy of the necromancers to them, but the language barrier proved to be too great—instead of relaying his philosophical beliefs, he told them he was Trag'Oul, and that he lived among the stars." —Abd al-Hazir

Starmetal Kukri

The Starmetal Kukri is a ceremonial dagger for fetish-focused Witch Doctors: every time your fetishes deal damage, the cooldowns of Fetish Army and Big Bad Voodoo shrink. Since your little helpers stab away nonstop, that drives the cooldowns of these two powerful summons down rapidly and keeps them almost always available.

That makes the blade the heart of a fetish build, where your army is constantly replenished and Big Bad Voodoo stands ready nearly without pause. Tip: stack as many active fetishes as possible and aim for high attack speed, because the more often they hit, the faster the cooldowns plunge. This creates a self-sustaining loop of a permanently present Fetish Army and a constantly refreshable Voodoo buff, the foundation of the strongest fetish setups.

Two 120-second cooldowns

Both skills start with a 120-second cooldown. Fetish Army summons 5 dagger-wielding Fetishes that fight for 20 seconds at 180% of your weapon damage; Big Bad Voodoo raises the attack and movement speed of all nearby allies by 15% for 20 seconds. Every damaging hit by a fetish takes 1 second off both cooldowns. The power has no roll range; how fast the cooldowns drop depends solely on how many fetishes hit how often.

Runes that bring more fetishes

On Fetish Army, runes that summon extra fetishes are the ones to use: Legion of Daggers adds 3 more dagger wielders, Head Hunters brings 2 blowdart shooters with Poison damage, and Tiki Torchers 2 fire-breathing casters. Devoted Following does lower the cooldown to 90 seconds, but it adds no extra hits. On the Voodoo side, Slam Dance raises the damage of nearby allies by 15%, and Jungle Drums extends the ritual to 30 seconds.

Stats and background

Every copy carries +626–750 Intelligence and 31–35% Critical Hit Damage, plus bonus damage of +981–1,199 to 1,175–1,490.

The flavor text by Abd al-Hazir tells of Szab, the first necromancer to meet the people of the Teganze. Unable to translate his philosophy, he told them he was Trag'Oul and lived among the stars - a hint at the starmetal in the name.
