'''Locust Swarm''' is a [[Witch Doctor]] Tier 4 [[Witch Doctor skills|skill]]unlocked at [[clvl|character level]] 10, 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.

The Witch Doctor sends a locust swarm to literally devour the flesh of his enemies.
==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.
==Skill Rank Table==
[[Image:Wd-locust-swarm1.jpg|thumb|right|ACHOOO! uh, i don't feel so good.]]
==[[Synergies]]==
While various [[Witch Doctor traits]] boost the overall performance of his skills, there are no particular traits that pertain to Locust Swarm.
** Description: Your Locust Swarm regenerates 50% of the damage it deals as mana to you
** Effect: Turns the swarm blue and channels a tremendous amount of mana back to the Witch Doctor.
* Unknown rune: Rank 2 Multi-target Rune
** Description: Locust Swarm now jumps to two targets upon creature death.
** Effect: Splits the swarm, sending two out to enemies after each death. With high level Locust Swarm damage this could essentially clear an entire screen of monsters with a single cast.
==Development==
''Locust Swarm'' was seen in every Diablo 3 III game demo to date, and was moved and iterated, judging from the latest demo. The old Locust Swarm was in the Plague Skill Tree (which itself, was renamed to [[Zombie Skill Tree]]), and now doesn't affect [[Summon Zombie Dog|Zombie Dogs]] in any way.
