'''Locust Swarm''' is a [[Witch Doctor]] Tier 4 [[Witch Doctor skills|skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 1016, which sends forth a torrent of locusts which swarm over and devour anything they meet. The Locusts can [[chain]] from target to target, potentially consuming or damaging numerous targets in close proximity.
|name= Locust Swarm
|user= Witch Doctor
|description= A plague of locusts assault enemies dealing X damage per second over X seconds. The locusts will jump to additional nearby targets.
|type= [[DoT]]/[[AoE]]
==Skill Design==
A really nice [[skill]] against packs of monsters, working like a disease that affects one monster and then the rest of the group. It can spread quite fast, so casting this spell just once is enough, and by the time it is done, you would have used a few other skills. Enemies who are killed by Locust Swarm leave behind a skeleton, a most pleasant visual effect.

==Trait Synergies==* No [[synergies]] with any of the [[traitpassive skill]]s are yet known.
<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 the end game, simply as a sort of poisonous AoE attack.</blockquote>
At [[BlizzCon 2010]], Locust Swarm was still in the game (moved down to Tier 4), but wasn't one of the Witch Doctor's starting skills.Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Locust Swarm became a level 16 skill.
