Zombie skills

The Zombie tree focuses on creating witch doctors whose main role in battle is to have a lot more of summoned minions than witch doctors of other builds. Also, like any skill tree focusing on any element of gameplay, it cannot be called a skill tree if it doesn't have signature skills that can actually kill. Luckily for us, the Zombie tree has a few cool skills that makes enemies easy to kill, like Sacrifice, Parasite and Wall of Zombies.
