Swarm equip power - incorrect

Swarm equip power is designed without taking into account the secondary stat diminishing returns.

Probably, it is supposed to give 4000 Lifesteal Stat Rating (+10% LS), but instead it gives 4000 Lifesteal severity (+10.8% Lifesteal Severity, we have 100% LSS by default).

Lifesteal Severity like other hardcore stats (Combat Advantage, AP gain (not recovery based), Control Bonus, Control Resistance, AoE Resistance, Companion Influence, Incoming healing, Gold Gain) has diminishing returns; and according to it LSS can not pass through the Soft Cap Wall.

you can check here The following chart and formula(not official) http://jannenw.info/pages/mechanics/diminishing

According to the screenshots posted below, Swarm equip power gives only +25% positive stats, so it’s just loss (Legendary mount without Equip power).

Ingame screenshots:
No LSS:

LSS gotten from Insignias:

LSS from Swarm equip power:

Pics from link: (see? no point to stack more than 1500 stat rating).

    No, it's not a bug, just a good old fashion mistake. We kicked and screamed on preview that it was a completely useless equip power before it was released, but they went ahead with it. The Mist Form mount has 2,000 LSS. The diminishing returns make the Swarm add like 1% more LSS over the Mist Form.

    You're effectively getting a rather poor Epic equip power for the price of a Legendary one. I guess they figure the mount power makes up for it, but yeah, the equip power is a deliberate rip off, not a bug.

    Yeah thank's for the feedback, but I still think they made a huge mistake here.

    Isn't it better to design the equip bonus as a mix of different ratings +2000Stat & +2000Stat ?
    eg +2000 LSS and +2000 Control Resistance? thus it's a WIN WIN.
    Such options are already available in the game,
    eq +2000 ArmPen and +2000 Power.

    Yeah, that was one of my recommendations for it: 2,000 Life Steal, 2,000 Life Steal Severity for Swarm, with 1,000/1,000 for the Mist Form.

    Yes, it might be good in terms of capability to equip defensive stats, when you need it.
