Summons a single colossal zombie that fights at the Witch Doctor's side until it dies. It attacks for 450% of the Witch Doctor's damage, and has roughly 150% of the Witch Doctor's Life, sharing most of the master's stats. Any destructible objects in its wake are destroyed.

Only one such zombie can be summoned at a time. The zombie is summoned at the cursor's location, anywhere within 80 yards.

Runes[]

  • Humongoid: All damage is now dealt as Cold, and base attack damage increases to 585%. In addition, it can cleave, as per the Barbarian's skill of the same name (180 degree arc). In addition, any enemy that is hit by the Gargantuan is Chilled (moving 60% slower) for 1 second.
  • Restless Giant: when the Gargantuan encounters an elite enemy or is near 5 enemies, it enrages for 15 seconds, gaining +20% movement speed, +35% attack speed and +200% damage. This effect cannot occur more than once every 45 seconds.
  • Wrathful Protector: The Gargantuan now deals 575% damage as Fire, with each hit knocking enemies into the air for 0.5 seconds. However, the Gargantuan returns whence it came after 15 seconds.
  • Big Stinker: The Gargantuan now deals Poison damage, and it is surrounded by a cloud of Poison that deals 135% damage per second to enemies within 5 yards.
  • Bruiser: Damage type changes to Fire, and every 10 seconds, the Gargantuan can slam enemies, dealing 200% damage as Fire within 5 yards and stunning affected enemies for 3 seconds.
