Development
Grasp of the Dead was first listed in the BlizzCon 2009 gameplay demo at Tier III in the Zombie Skill Tree, but it had not yet been implemented.
This skill was present on the pre-made Witch Doctor in the Blizzcon 2010 Arena as a Tier 3 skill, and was quite effective. Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Grasp of the Dead became a level 3 skill.
