'''Fan of Knives''' is a [[Demon Hunter skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 4. The Demon Hunter quickly whips around in a full circle, sending out a nova of blades that hit all targets in range, many of them multiple times.
<br><br><br>__TOC__
==Background==
The Demon Hunter magically summons a wealth of blades, distributing them in a spinning arc, damaging and slowing enemies within close-range, similar to the nova spells from [[Diablo]] of yore.
==Skill Effects==
The following is a very quick list. See the [[Fan of Knives rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
{{Active skill skills header}}</noinclude>{{Demon Hunter Skill effects|Fan of Knives|IconFanKnives.png|([[clvl|Level]] 4)|Throw knives out in a spiral around you, doing {{c_lime|18 - 25}} physical damage to all enemies within {{c_lime|10}} yards of you.

==Skill Design==
[[Image:FoK1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Fan of Knives may have the best D3 acronym yet.]]
Fan of Knives is a short-range area-of-effect ability that damages all of the enemies in range of the skill. This type of skill is best used either when surrounded by enemies or within close quarters where the enemies are bunched together to a point where the skill will penetrate deeply into the group. The knives also include a slowing debuff.

==Synergies==
* No [[synergies]] with any of the [[passive skillDemon Hunter passives]]s are yet known. ==Skill Rune Effects==No runestone effects are confirmed. There's some speculation that the red, honeycomb pattern on the ground beneath the Demon Hunter's feet in two screenshots from February 2011 show a runestone effect. That's not confirmed, and this might just be a new animation upgrade for the skill, since it was last seen at Blizzcon 2010. The second shot does not show the FoK blades, but since the red pattern is fading, FoK was cast a second ago and the fast-vanishing blades disappeared from sight before the red pattern could fade entirely. <center>{| | [[File:Fan-of-knives-rune1.jpg|thumb|350px|Fan of Knives rune effect graphic?]]| [[File:Fan-of-knives-rune2.jpg|thumb|425px|Blades gone, but the red graphic remains.]]|}</center>
===In Other Games===
As many fans noticed upon announcement of the Demon Hunter and getting to see her [[skills]] for the first time, Fan of Knives is a returning skill from previous [[Blizzard]] games, namely WarCraft III and World of WarCraft. In WarCraft III, it was an ability used by the "Warden" hero character, and in World of WarCraft it is a level 80 ability used by the Rogue class. Fan of Knives appears to be making a niche within the Blizzard pool of spells and abilities, such as other spells like [[Teleport]], and Blizzard.
