The Witch Doctor has made a pact with death, becoming invincible when he is nearing it. It is unknown what he must give in turn for this deal.

Skill Design[edit | edit source]

A very good skill for the witch doctor and hardcore players. It is assumed that the duration of damage immunity will scale, but other stats may scale as well. This will certainly help witch doctors who solo, but it may only push back their deaths for only a few seconds, thus, the player must think fast when this skill becomes active.
