Pilfering swarm actually generates half the loot now over fewer enemies over more time, and is just as disruptive to teammates because they can't kill enemies until they are in the tentacles (which kills them anyway with a strength/efficiency build in any content worth farming).

Hydroid's 'full kit' isn't actually worth using, the ONLY ability that you would mod for anything other than strength/efficiency is Tidal Surge, which is by far his weakest ability.
