Swarmblade and Serpent Strike Feedback

Feedback and Suggestions
1

Just my thoughts on those particular skills I have an eye on for many years:

The good:

  • serpent Strike bottom left side is good
  • swarmblade’s nodes and locust swarm is fine
  • swarmblade as a bug archetype is interesting

The bad:

  • serpent Strike spear requirement is stupid, which is why it is mostly used in combination with swarmblade where it doesn’t exist. Otherwise it’s very niche.
  • I get the spear serpent fantasy, but it fits more to a Shaolin monk than a primalist. For playing the restriction is just annoying.
  • the rework of serpent strike was super weird. The skill was ok before. Serpent venom is a meme, either bad or busted. Constrictor is weird and the serpent useless. Honestly I love the bottom left, but the rest is horrible.
  • swarmblade mobility is very bad and dive is a joke considering we are a winged creature. Dive should be connected to fury leap and have the same range. That way it would look like a Kha’Zix like jump.
  • I’ve never seen a decent locust build that is not locust swarm.
  • hive feels clunky to use. Locusts should be generated automatically like bees.
  • Armblade slash is ok, but could slightly better range/aoe

Random thought:

  • there should be unique that makes locust nodes affect bees and turns locusts into bees. This should be accompanied by a bee queen skill MTX.

Swarmblade feels like the other Transformations a bit weak, the game wants u to swap transformations often, but since u only have 5 skills u can only have 1 “strong” form. So i personaly take 1 form.
Problems on Swarmblade

  1. It has 2 poison Nodes: Vipers Call (Serpent Strike) and Feverous Stings (poison on atacks for u and locusts). Swarm Strike also has 50% of its damage in poison and even the poison tag. So why does Swarmblade never gets the Poison Tag?

  2. Plague Dragon’s Tongue has +5 poison skills, i mean just play scorpion in human form and do more dmg

  3. A bit more range on dive could be 50% more it wouldnt be much, since it has a low cooldown, it feels more like a second evade

The bee idea is funny i would like a unique or something for that.
