So, zombie just not doable?

Man I've tried a few things. I've thought of 3wiz/6ftr/7brb for maybe a dreadnaught(sp) type feel, but attack speed reduction is killer. I've thought about 3wiz/17sorc for more mana, but then thought about 3wiz/17fvs for the heal class skill, but it fricken -4s your cha, .

I guess zombie really is just a passing stage that a wiz can switch into to heal himself with lesser death aura until he gets to the better stuff? Anyone found any good uses for zombie long run? Curious. Also curious if anyone has tried any other zombie combos and to the extent of their suckage, lol.

The best use for zombie is to eat plants before running into the lawnmower.

As for zombie form it's pretty much useless, luckily its not too long before you get vamp form.

Yeah Zombie is just for use until you get better forms, and quite a lot of casters don't even use it then. I do use it for levelling a standard PM build but I think I'm in a minority.

If it added enough damage to make up for the slower attack speed it would be worth trying for melee builds, but it would need to add a hell of a lot.

It needs to have some sort of bite attack, where you can munch on the enemy to regain health. No clue if that would make it worthwhile.
Braaaains!

Also if the enemy isn't killed within a period of time after being munched on, they get turned (charmed) and attack other enemies for you.

well
i made a zombie fister
when you have full GTWF + the 10% off hand from epic TWF, and 10% from shintao monk teir 1 it doesn't matter how slow you attack, you hit once and you can hit 2-5 times
add in things that add pure power to your hits (so base monk d6, monk PL 1.5[d6], zombie 2.5[d6], adamantine knuckles 3.5[d6] (EE adamantine knuckles takes it up to 4.5[d6]), reinforced fists 4[d6], GMoF T1 5.5[d6], imp power attack 6[d6] etc etc

also add PRR from zombie lines
