The Witch Doctor summons forth a huge lumbering gargantuan to do his bidding.

Skill Design

It is unknown how the Gargantuan looks like, or what exactly his role is. We do know he is a big undead monster and either hits very well or is a good tanker. It wouldn't be surprising if this were a pet version of the Unburied or one of the other grotesque demons.

Skill Rank Table

• Rank 1: Summons a large zombie follower to fight for you. Cost: 13 mana.

Synergies

Numerous Witch Doctor traits boost the class' spell casting across the board, and against specific types of enemies. A few directly boost Gargantuan.

• Spirit Link -- 10% of damage taken is instead redirected to your summons.
• Zombie Master -- Increases damage done by Zombie skills.
• Ferocity -- Increases damage done by your summons.
• Care of the Master -- Increases the health of your summons.

Skill Rune Effects

• None known.

Development

Gargantuan has only been seen in the hover descriptions at BlizzCon 2009 and 2010. It's never been seen in use, and the descriptions don't seem to have changed much over time.
