Skill Design
A really nice skill against packs of monsters, working like a disease that affects one monster and then the rest of the group. It can spread quite fast, so casting this spell just once is enough, and by the time it is done, you would have used a few other skills. Enemies who are killed by Locust Swarm leave behind a skeleton, a most pleasant visual effect.

Locust Swarm was seen in every Diablo 3 game demo to date, and was moved and iterated, judging from the latest demo. The old Locust Swarm was in the Plague Skill Tree (which itself, was renamed to Zombie Skill Tree), and now doesn't affect Zombie Dogs in any way.
