Vol`Jin - The 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.

Paralyzing Casks (C)
Vol'jin launches casks of paralyzing powder that bounce between foes, stunning those effected for a short period of time (1 sec on Hero, 5 on creeps).
Level 1 - 2 bounces
Level 2 - 4 bounces
Level 3 - 6 bounces
Level 4 - 8 bounces

Level 3 - Restores 18 hp/sec.
Level 4 - Restores 24 hp/sec.
Has a 400 AoE
Mana Cost: 80/ 90/ 100/ 110
Cooldown: N/A

Maledict (E)
Targets an area with an ancient voodoo curse. Cursed heroes will not only take damage over time, but they will be dealt bonus damage every 4 seconds based on how much hp they lost since the beginning of the curse. Lasts 12 seconds
Level 1 - Enemies lose 5 hp/sec, 10 bonus damage for every 100 hp lost during curse.
Level 2 - Enemies lose 10 hp/sec, 20 bonus damage for every 100 hp lost during curse.
Level 3 - Enemies lose 15 hp/sec, 30 bonus damage for every 100 hp lost during curse.
Level 4 - Enemies lose 20 hp/sec, 40 bonus damage for every 100 hp lost during curse.

7 By Reloaded 2007-01-03

Too imbal, this hero. I prefer to get a dagon for this hero if I'm doing okay. Because a dagon + Maledict and a few hits will kill almost all Int/Agi heroes from full HP. Seriously. Doc has like a 1.3k nuke, including reducts.

8 By wal_cinyc 2007-02-21

When the witch doctor is channeling his death ward, and an ally faceless void comes to Chronosphere, can vol'jin still continue to channel his ward?

14 By jakiro2123 2007-04-15

@vampnite
No... Chrono stops everything from moving...

15 By lupeman 2007-04-15

the wards still there, just doesnt hav any effect though. but assumin faceless attacks vol jin, the ward will be gone.

16 By Raja 2007-04-29

17 By flclnoodles 2007-04-30

could you ever beat a gay pudge with this guy?

18 By rain9441 2007-05-01

How to kill drow ranger? Maledict him, then quick use dagon, and run away. GG traxex.

20 By Some1 2007-06-22

I don't get it, there's a lv 4 ultimate?

21 By jaypox1 2007-07-03

Cool. Just a reminder that Caos does full damage to all armour "TYPES" eg heavy and light fortified, it does not ignore the armor all together...

22 By c_r_a_c_k 2007-07-16

And that is why Death Ward is not as effective as say Dagon or plain DPSing.

23 By yoshikisosa 2007-07-19

gaing

24 By lupeman 2007-07-19

thats cos hes slayer at early game and support late game.

25 By mv20vm 2007-07-19

this could beat pudge... maledict and cask when he looks like hes goin to hook, rot, dismember u. his rot will hurt him more than usual, cask will stop dismember halfway. voodoo restoration can heal u back while ur being attacked by pudge.

30 By ElioN 2007-08-16

he cant beat pudge.
he dies before he can cast maledict

31 By lupeman 2007-08-17

u do ur combination of spells b4 he does. get a guinsoo to ensure u finish ur maledict and cask attack.
he can beat pudge. the ulti cuts through his flesh heap as well because its chaos damage, not magical damage.

32 By SJPATYA 2007-08-17

COMBOS
1. TRAVEL
2. LOTHAR
3. AGHANIM

39 By diego791 2007-09-22

Once i made ar and get this doctor my favorite since then ^^ one small noob tip which is the best way to kill lvl 25 str tank?

40 By abdullahtayyab 2007-09-22

necro counters all tanks!

41 By Cranium_Basher 2007-09-27

Give Pudge HoD and let me see how Necro will counter him

42 By Ahmad_DotA 2007-10-14

THis hero is simply the best..u can kill a hero without ur wards haha !!! u simply cast meledict and do dagon its gr8!! and he will pawn even high hp str heroes with a sceptor, cuz if u put the death ward it will do 210 damage if maledict is on !!

43 By Ahmad_DotA 2007-10-15

look i have a question ... does the death ward detect invisible heroes ?

44 By Shimrra_3 2007-10-25

@ above post = no it doesn't.
@ killing Pudge = Cask saves WD, Maledict + Ward owns Pudge into tiny little pieces and hes made himself easy to target by sitting on you.
@ all = Read Steve-O's guide. NOW!

45 By Cookie Monster 2007-10-28

overkill combo deathward + chronosphere with fv

46 By AXCELACCEL 2007-11-07

55 By seifer666 2008-01-05

His ulti is probably the one which gets the BEST improvement than any other ultimates when used with Aghanim's. It bounces TWICE... and it's a "Chaos" type damage too... neglects armor and all... that's a constant 150 HP loss every 0.3 sec.!! WAY TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!

56 By xIZUALx666x 2008-01-05

MAGNUS LVL 16 + DAGGER OF SCAPE + REVERSE POLARITY + WITCH DOCTOR LVL 16 + AGHAMIS SCEPTER + MALEDICT AND DEATH WARD TRIPLE KILL!!! TRIPLE KILL!!! TRIPLE KILL!!! LOL THEY PWNZ!!!!

57 By kitsvijay 2008-01-13

67 By cantholdme187 2008-03-25

Great guide 10/10. I have been using it for a week and I have been doing really well. I went 14-1 this morning. It would have been more but everyone left WD has become of my favorite heroes to use now. I love making people angry by casting my ult and then going inis. They don't know what hit them!!!

68 By HellScream_022 2008-04-03

Very good guide. But how about getting dagon cast your cask then meledict than dagon in early game you dont even need your ulty meledict will do the work and in later game you will have your dagon maxed to lvl 5. Then you are up to get you Aghanim

69 By s10047597 2008-04-09

in 6.51, it states that lvl 3 death ward with the addition of agahnim's scepter hits 3 targets....bounces twice, approximately 450 dmg per second plus hitting 3 targets at the same time.....(that's gay!!!!!)
