  • Locust Swarm: This skill will now inflict its effects every 0.5 seconds instead of every second.
    • The duration of this skill has been halved, so the same number of attacks will occur, but they will occur faster.
    • The radius of this skill has been reduced from 210 to 180 to make the range a standard multiple of 60.
    • Finally, rather than inflicting damage on each pulse, Locust Swarm will now siphon health from enemies within its area of effect.
