First of all, I never even though of a new type of "wall" in the Diablo franchises. Sure, ice, fire, and bone were no-brainers but when I saw the zombie wall from the witch doctor I nearly shat my pants. It is so creative and really takes it up a level in terms of spells and I just loved it. I would love to use this spell at a high level and just block beast after beast with this spell. Sorry if my post sounds jumbled, I'm a bit tipsy :p.
I think they need to improve on the animation. Don't really quite like it though. It seems that the mobs just die when the zombie's hand haven't even touch them.
But then i got my shit together... if you think about it, it's the same concept of firewall. (a drawn line that inflicts dmg), I think Blizzard has plans for it to be a defensive skill, but in the gameplay vid it show us the opposite.
Get real, folks, the diablo you all knew is dead, a few years ago i said right here in this forum that D3 had a pretty good chance of being blizzard first bust (i was flamed to death ofc), and what you know, its not even beta and its already looking that way.
i think its because this is a move that should have went to a new and revised Necro for diablo3.
saddest thing about it is, blizzard is putting so much effort into putting a new backstory and lore section for its new character class Witch Doctor and most wont even appreciate it because the class at face-value resembles the D2 necromancer too much.
sigh i like the new character but they should have made em a little different than the necro with the summons and curses and given the zombie wall to a new necromancer
....actually fuck it why do i care, as long as the necro as least makes an appearance in the expansion pack for d3 ill be fine.

The characters in used in the gameplay video were much higher level to show the abilities. The zombie won't do that when you first get it, and it will only do that when you use it on very low level monsters...so no worries!
I personally do not like the concept. I don't openly despise much of the stuff regarding Diablo III, but this concept really gets me.
If you have the ability to summon zombies that will attack your enemies, why a wall? Why can't they move? Why can't they stay there until they are killed; again. And why, why would you make a wall of zombies? Sure the concept is funny, but it shouldn't make it into the actual game. It just screams useless easter-egg spell.

Why can't a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy that he thinks his booty is fly?
I can see Zombie Wall as having intriguing possibilities in PVP, Much like Bone Wall, spamming shut melee, but then you just sit back and watch him struggle against the hordes of zombies.
I think what he's getting at is that necro summons "support" other characters by soaking up damage like a lot of mini tanks. He really does a good job at this, but at the same time he is not a supporting character because he can solo anything fairly easily (even ubers, check youtube, it's intense).

"You've seen walls of bone and fire... but have you ever seen a ZOMBIE WALL?" It kicks ass

Necros can still fight with Bone and Summons VERY well.
