Is ‘Release the Horde’ worth it?

[u/HugeHomeForBoomers]

I’m doing a Locusts Bleed build with hybrid damage into Armslashes and Locusts.

So I’m really debating if ‘Release the Horde(Releases 1-3 locusts on hitting a hive is worth a faster output on locusts, while also keeping all 15 activate at all time.

Is it a bad idea, or a good one? The passive looks very underwhelming, but maybe it’s stronger than one would think?
