Sorry if this has been discussed before but I still couldn’t seem to get how the real mechanics work…should I be spamming locust or barrage on the target mob to cause that ‘explosion’?
Also, should I be casting locust on RG? Spam or once a while? Tyvm
Locust is simply used for de-buffing, and proccing your RoE. Use it sparingly as it will eat your mana quickly.
Spirit Barrage is the damage dealer which should be spammable with one of your Mana regen passives.
If you are using the Creeping Death passive, Locusts will last for ages and spread itself slowly, unless you’re using the pestilence rune on Locusts, then it will also spread quickly.
If you aren’t using Creeping Death, then Locusts will only last as long as it’s tooltip states.
Theoretically, you could use Haunt instead, but it only jumps when you kill the target. You would have to manually Haunt everything, so Locusts is preferred.
Yes, cast it on the RG. While any enemy is affected by it, you deal triple damage to it, and gain the effect of whichever rune you are using.
Thanks! Very good info, as usual
