Given that it's a Hive (or Hive modified weapon) it seems to me like it should do void damage, especially with the poisony thingy.
At least that's what I think, what do you guys think?
Edit: By "poisony thingy" I just meant the DoT, no idea if it's actually poison or a consuming darkness (or maybe rapidly growing cave moss) :P

Should be the same thing as the wizard fart cloud, but applied as a debuff, no elemental damage.
