Witch Doctor Zunimassa Gargantuan Build
Introduction
Embodying the classic summoner playstyle, this Zunimassa variant rallies a vast, protective Fetish menagerie of critters at his side, while his lumbering Gargantuans maul the enemy to the ground. This pet-centric, minion-heavy build is available in a Greater Rift solo progression (the present guide) and speed farming (see link below) variations.
