 <blockquote>''The real limiting factor of this one is the very short range of the knives. They did good damage, but the range was barely beyond melee reach (not that the DH was using melee weapons), and it was fairly mana-expensive.

 ===Beta===
 Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Fan of Knives became a level 4 skill, but was soon bumped up to level 14. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]], and Fan of Knives was classified as a Defensive skill and moved to level 16. For [[Beta Patch 14]], it was re-classified as a Devices skill and moved to level 17.

 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.
