+'''Zombie Charger''' is a Decay [[Witch Doctor skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 14. It summons a zombie that charges forward, disintegrating rapidly into a poison cloud. Though the spell has a short range, the zombie deals considerable poison damage and has a piercing effect as it passed through and damages any number of enemies over the short course of its travel.

 <blockquote>''It’s hard to use, since it has so little range; it’s hardly more than melee distance, and doesn’t work at the usual range a player assumes, a few paces behind the front line where the Mongrels are tanking.  You have to learn to stand closer, almost at melee range to get any real effect from the skill.

 The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, and Zombie Charger was classified as a Decay skill and moved to level 14, out of the reach of beta players. Despite being [[nerf]]ed in [[Beta Patch 14]], it does the same damage in [[Beta Patch 15]] as it did in Patch 13, albeit at a higher mana cost.

 ==Development==
 '''Zombie Charger''' first appeared at [[BlizzCon 2009]] at Tier II in the [[Zombie Skill Tree]], but wasn't implemented yet. At [[BlizzCon 2010]], it was one of the Witch Doctor's starting skills, but was nearly useless unruned. [[Flux]] explained:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/hands-on-from-blizzcon-mega-pvm-report-witch-doctor]
 <blockquote>''It’s hard to use, since it has so little range; it’s hardly more than melee distance, and doesn’t work at the usual range a player assumes, a few paces behind the front line where the Mongrels are tanking.  You have to learn to stand closer, almost at melee range to get any real effect from the skill.
