Bow skills are all [[Demon Hunter skills]] that require or only function with a bow or crossbow or hand crossbow equipped. This is not an official designation in the game, but it is made immediately obvious when a player tries to use a bow skill without a ranged weapon equipped.

Though the Demon Hunter is meant to be the game's archer class, there are some effective attack skills that do not require a bow equipped. Most of the general purpose DH skills, buffs and debuffs and the like, function with any (or no) weapon equipped.

==Demon Hunter Bow Skills==

The following skills '''''require''''' a bow/xbow/hand xbow to be equipped to use them.

Primary:
* [[Hungering Arrow]]
* [[Entangling Shot]]
* [[Bola Shot]]

Secondary:
* [[Rapid Fire]]
* [[Elemental Arrow]]

Devices:
* [[Evasive Fire]]

Archery:
* [[Strafe]]
* [[Multishot]]
* [[Cluster Arrow]]
* [[Rain of Vengeance]]

Fittingly, all the skills in the Archery category do require a bow weapon to use.

==Demon Hunter Non-Bow Skills==

Many Demon Hunter skills do not require a bow, including most of the class's debuffs and buffs. Many of the bow skills include a debuff effect in them, such as [[Entangling Shot]], but those skills only debuff (slow, stun, etc) the target or targets. The non-bow debuffs function more generally.

Primary Skills:
* [[Grenades]]

Secondary
* [[Impale]]
* [[Chakram]]

Hunting:
* [[Vault]]
* [[Preparation]]
* [[Companion]]
* [[Marked for Death]]

Defensive
* [[Caltrops]]
* [[Smoke Screen]]
* [[Shadow Power]]

Devices Skills:
* [[Fan of Knives]]
* [[Spike Trap]]
* [[Sentry]]

It is possible, yet somewhat costy, to make a demon hunter based off of sword-and-board, and not use any bows that is effective in endgame.
