zombie dogs are so weak i'd rather use firebat or other aggresive skills.
they melt like ice creams even in normal act 1.
Zombie dogs should get buffed.

With the zombie handler passive equipped, will you spawn 4 dogs instead of 3? or will you have to incorporate another passive or skill rune that summons zombie dogs?

They really weakened the zombie dogs. They only do 9% damage now? And lighting them on fire only deals 2%?? That's a bit ridiculous.

@DeathsFist: They really don't want the WD to be a pet only class, the dogs are just a meat shield and are meant to be sacrificed and re-summoned regularly.

But by sticking to their guns trying a little too hard to make him different from the necro their making these guys irrelevant, if you don't plan on using sacrifice your better off sticking to other cc spells like GotD, which sadly when runed do nearly the same damage....

@DeathsFist: from what i understand its 2% fire damage anything they go by, not 2% damage per hit

so if 4 mobs grouped up and the dog is within the range(im assuming the range would be based on the gold/health globe pickup radius)

thats 2%(4 mobs) + the 9% dps from a single dog

but hey i could be completely wrong

If you get fetish army with crimson, they deal 205dmg per fetish!
Put Alabaster on these guys to gain some life leeching.
