According to the Mass Effect Wiki, it says in the notes section that Seeker Swarm can be used to do DoT... That's not true? This power doesn't appear to do damage over time. However I notice it has a variable named effectduration, which is set to 4 seconds - which is separate from the slowing duration of 4 seconds.
Anyone have insight into this? I thought it did it on impact just like biotic orbs. It's pretty much a rebranded version of it.

I never noticed any DoT from Seeker Swarms...
[...] and appeared to be able to hit players.
There might just be the reason why it was redone.
It does approximately **** damage for a duration of why bother seconds.
Interesting. Unlike most powers where you up the amount of something, this power actually scales.
For example, the base powers spawns 3 orbs, with a delay of 0.4 seconds. Using this you can determine the speed that the orbs spin. The 4 orb rotation has 0.3 seconds, which means it spawns all orbs in 1.2 seconds using a normal animation. By setting this to a value of 8 with half delay, you can make it show 8 orbs evenly placed around you. Only a few powers scale with it, like the size of the stasis bubble.
You had me at 8 orbs.
Oh yes, ... 80% DR and Seeker Torpedo all the way 
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,..." good that I am on PS3 
It seems I remember they sometimes stun as well as slow. Like I believe I recall Dragoons will get the electrocuted animation from time to time when you hit them with a swarm.

Maybe they were initially designed to be like enemey seeker swarms, before they redesigned them as lame Green Biotic Orbs.
Don't enemies hit with a seeker also glow green, as if they were primed by dark sphere?
Maybe this effectduration is the duration of the glow.

Yes, but in theory for a duration corresponding to the slowing duration. Not sure what Bioware did there.
Pretty sure the DoT is ZERO..did a collectDept run l;ast night...for kicks I started throwing swarms at enemies 1st...so I can get thru the challenge points quicker...Nothing..like 1 bar of health would disappear...I am sure they are there just for detonation purposes only
but they detonate the collectors biotics nicely. they can detonate ammo alsoIt does approximately **** damage for a duration of why bother seconds.
