'''Locust Swarm'' was seen in every ' premiered with [[Diablo III game demo to date, and was moved and iterated, judging from ]] in the latest demo. The old Locust Swarm was [[WWI 2008]] gameplay video as a Tier II skill in the [[Plague Skill Tree ]] (which itself, was later renamed to the [[Zombie Skill Tree]]). The first version for this skill could be cast on [[Mongrel]]s, enhancing them with poison damage. By [[BlizzCon 2009]], Locust Swarm had been moved to Tier III in the [[Voodoo Skill Tree]] and now doesn't affect could no longer be cast on [[Mongrel]]s (renamed to [[Summon Zombie Dog|Zombie Dogs]] s). [[Flux]] discussed its utility:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/full-witch-doctor-skills/] <blockquote>''The skill isn’t that damaging, but the way the locusts can spread from target to target makes it fairly amusing to use in large crowds. This one might have long term viability, even if the damage is negligible in any waythe end game, simply as a sort of poisonous AoE attack.</blockquote> ===Previous Versions===See the [[Witch Doctor skill archive]] for more details on previous versions of Locust Swarm and other Witch Doctor skills.
