Can we get this item buffed too? 1000% damage to Locust Swarm would improve farming capability for T16. It’s one of the coolest skills and builds to run around and just everything dies.

This has been needed for pretty much ever.

Blizzard can we get another fun build buff please? This would be so much fun for T16 farming.
Just run Mund’s with Wormwood. Everything dies as you run into it in T16. Even easier now with the 4th slot.
I’ve always tried making a Locust Swarm only build (T16). Use the Quetzalcoatl helm, ring of emptiness & vile hive mojo. Use the Searing Locust rune (highest damage output), use the passives: pierce the veil, creeping death, & gruesome feast. Spirit of Aracyr should surpass LoN setups now… but its still probably too weak. Maybe can fit in Squirts necklace. Legendary Gems of Zei’s & Trapped.
i ues this can do GR80 so far . have to ues the chicken tho
It’d be nice but honestly i’d like another more general multipler so we could also get damage on skills like toads, firebats, locust swarm, firebomb, spiders and mass confusion.
Put a multiplier on SMK knife since it’s rare and useless. Just add “and each hit from fetishes increases the damage of locust swarm by x% stacking up to x amount times”. Can get some meat shields in it as well as damage boost.
I don’t want to play season only. I want this to be viable off season.
I don’t want extra work with the build. I want it simple. Just adding locust swarm multiplier to either Wormwood or Hwoj Wrap.
I enjoy SMK but honestly I’d rather see SMK Buff that first rune when fetishes are summoned, so you can make like a fetish summoning build and even throw in a Visage of Giyua.
So many WD items could use a simple numbers increase and make awesome builds… if we just had one item that could buff em all. (Zombie bears needs a buff anyway so if we had another item that say had a 150% multiplier to most builds (not manajuma/spirit barrage).
Great suggestion, unfortunately won’t happen, cause we’re not allowed to have too much fun…

How is running around not casting anything fun? Why not just push a button and the whole rift dies? It seriously doesn’t get much lazier than Manitou Mund’s with Wormwood or lingering spirit haunt. It’s also plenty of damage to rip through T16. Often in public rifts, other classes can barely keep up. As someone who’s played WD every season, I feel like this is just lazy. I’d rather see more interesting builds implemented.
Yep and there’s already few “lazy” builds for other classes, so why not give WD one too?
For me brainlessly bashing all keyboard and mouse buttons almost at once is not an idea of fun.
I want to relax, playing the game with different builds, not bashing all buttons like a madman all the time…

The big problem here is that Locust Swarm is a key part of the Jade build which is already very powerful build. Giving any further buff to LS could potentially make Jade ridiculously overpowered.
The suggested Mundu build with Wormwood cubed should serve as a lazy build. Wormwood autocasts LS, proccing Ring of Emptiness and then Manitou pretty much oneshots everything on T16. It effectively is a one button build.
i only played d3 because of necro from d2 mods. there he had very strong skeletons and they were difficult to kill.
I stood next to the wall and only handed out curses. and had everything done by skeleton magician. in the end I was happy about loot. I did that for years and it never got boring.
later came games like “return to castle wolfenstein”. it was worth moving and pressing the mouse here.
but in diablo i just want to chill and collect loot.
of course that’s just my opinion.

I mean i don’t see why they make such a big deal about T16 farming builds. Those should be fast and easy to play. Locust swarm plague fits that bill perfectly. Run around and everything dies. All we need is a nice multiplier.
is not a “big deal” either. i play for fun and after work i don’t need a second job with ridiculous “salary”. i want to chill out here and enjoy the 3d world. and experience adventure with loot.
and a lot of builds are meant for some fetishist. because who is going to keep every second of passive skills on CD for hours?
In another game it is just worth logging in every day, because there I can get resources over night and there are also various rewards every 24 hours for selection. and there are also 3 awesome and difficult missions with a good chance of top rewards every day. I can play all 3 easily and chilled in 30 minutes. there is often new and usable loot from mobs.
there is also a necro. However, he can also revive elite mobs and they then have more damage and life. many of them have powerful skills and great weapons. then they polish the face by themselves. and he had a double loot ability. you would have to keep pressing it. however, many players have complained. …And what happened after that? IT BECAME AN AURA !!! EZ?
