I thought "well, his passive doesn't sound too great". But then I discovered that the definition of "slam" attack is much broader than I had at first thought. Using a hammer, every downward swing is considered to be a "slam" for the purposes of his passive, and some stances for fist weapons also have a lot of "slam" attacks. It isn't a bug. His passive is just better than we gave it credit for. Using a fast-ish hammer you can get an entire tentacle swarm going without using any energy at all. I am curious to see if the tentacles will work with pilfering swarm, and what stats the slam tentacles have.
