DUSK – Vol’Jin, Witch Doctor

Vol’Jin is a risk-taker. Anyone who has ever crossed paths with him can tell you that. As a voodoo priest, you need a certain degree of it. It’s too bad he never learned the value of discretion. Vol’Jin’s experiments in jungle magic yielded brilliant results- the ability to mend wounds, casks filled with paralyzing combinations of herbs that could scatter for miles, and even a curse capable of stripping the life force from a living being. Of course, no amount of power gained goes without notice. As Vol’Jin’s experiments became more and more unstable and destructive, the Lich King made his move.

Strategy Discussion

Stun Casks + Maledict is deadlier. Many have underestimated the Stun Cask and that has led to many deaths. I assist my teammates with the Stun Cask and only start killing later on. Besides, Hero’s base damage is already gay enuf to last hit and KS… Maledict is the real power early game. The wards… mid to late i would say.

Note: Any damage dealt before the casting of Maledict is nothing‘;’ type=’text/javascript’>
