The swarmblade passive nodes Hive Mind and Locust Master are very confusing to me. Starting with Hive Mind, the description states that it summons locusts every second from the swarm but the tootip states it’s every 3 so suffice to say I am confused as to which part of that notable I should trust. Secondly the Locust Master notable has zero tooltip whatsoever and the description says that it’s possible to still attack with swarm strike when it fundamentally alters swarm strike to not be an attack anymore. Through my own testing I can only verify that it does indeed summon locusts instead of attacking but I have no idea if they are getting the permanent boost in damage the passive states that they do as I cannot hit anything with it anymore. The passive is essentially a nothing-burger past the part that says swarm strike summons locusts instead.
The top bit is basically just fluff text that should explain what a node does, the bit at the bottom is what the game should be using (though bugs happen).
No, that’s not what the node says, it says that Armblade Slashes summons Locusts rather that performs a melee attack. But yes, there’s a text bug where the text for the buff is missing. You can/should report it using the in-game bug report tool. It’d be nice if there were some form of graphical effect with the buff.
