Diablo – walk through using Spirit Walk

diablo-3diablo-3-witch-doctor

Once again, the skill description for Spirit Walk leaves a bit to the imagination. What exactly does it mean that my movement is unhindered?

  • Does it negate any movement slowing effects?
  • Does it allow me to escape rooting effects or pull effects such as the Butcher's spear?
  • Does it allow me to walk through enemies?
  • Does it allow me to walk through walls created by "Waller" monsters?
  • Does it allow me to walk through dungeon walls?

Spirit Walk is actually pretty straightfoward after a couple of uses. For the duration of the spell (2-3 seconds) you are able to move through any enemies, and remove all movement impairing effects.

This means:

Slow down effects are removed. You can escape most roots, such as from any Jailer type elites. You can walk through enemies (if you can click a free floor space).

You cannot walk through anything physical however. Any effects which create a game-object "cage" will trap you... ie Diablo's cage spell.

You cannot walk through the walls created by "Waller" elites. You cannot walk through closed doors. You cannot walk through walls.
