Zombie Dog

Zombie Dogs are creatures in Diablo 3 that can be summoned to fight by the Witch Doctor's side. The Witch Doctor Command Skill Summon Zombie Dogs will summon 3 Zombie Dogs. With Zombie Handler you can have 4 Zombie Dogs out at once and the health of your Zombie Dogs and Gargantuan are increased as well.

Zombie Dogs can tank for the Witch Doctor and once summoned they will instantly engage nearby enemies in battle. As with all Witch Doctor summons, Zombie Dogs do not have to be commanded to attack enemies.

When it comes to dealing damage, Zombie Dogs will deal a % of the Witch Doctor's weapon damage as Physical per hit. So basically, increasing your weapon damage will increase the amount of damage that your summons will deal.

Notes:
1. Devolution gives a chance for Zombie Dogs to emerge from fallen enemies affected by Mass Confusion.

2. Sacrifice makes all of your Zombie Dogs explode, each dealing 200% of your weapon damage as Physical to all enemies within 12 yards.

3. Next of Kin gives each sacrificed dog chance to resurrect as a new zombie dog. 

4. Boogie Man gives a chance for enemies who die in the Big Bad Voodoo ritual area to resurrect as a new zombie dog.
