 '''Wall of Zombies''' is a Decay [[Witch Doctor skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 28. One of the more creative skills in Diablo III, WoZ causes a tightly-spaced line of zombies to erupt from the ground, blocking the progress of monsters and tearing apart any monsters that come into their reach.

+Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Wall of Zombies became a level 27 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, and Wall of Zombies was classified as a Decay skill and moved to level 28. After being [[nerf]]ed a tiny bit for [[Beta Patch 14]], it had its mana cost increased for [[Beta Patch 15]].
