Indeed, and with Corrosive Barrage I can break out lesser used melee like the Scoliac and smack multiple prone enemies silly.

Also Undertow jump-cancelling helps facilitate using slam to trigger his passive, which while not really all that great is yet another maneuver you can use to keep enemies captured without spending too much energy. Combine with Pilfering Swarm and you might be lucky enough to get some Energy Orbs back.
