The Witch Doctor summons forth vicious undead lackeys to do his bidding.
==Skill Design==
Summon Zombie Dog is a the first summoning skill in the Zombie Tree, and is the back bone of early witch doctors specializing in this tree. They aren't very strong individually, but at higher levels and with other skills in this tree, they can swarm and destroy tough enemies with ease. The older version of this skill, allowed the dogs to be enchanted with [[Skull of Flame]] and [[Locust Swarm]], giving fire damage or poison damage, respectively.
This idea was scrapped, since the hassle of having attack skills enchant mongrels turning out to be a bother. What will the player want to enchant their dogs with, fire or poison? There weren't enough factors that helped the player decide. In a recent post by [[Bashiok]], he revealed that this idea will probably be turned into either passives or skill rune effects.
