Skill Design
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.
Skill Rank Table
Rank: 1/5 Throw knives out in a spiral around you doing X-X damage to all enemies within X feet of you. Your knives will also slow enemies by X% for X seconds.
Skill Rune Effects
- None known.
Development
This skill was first shown at BlizzCon 2010 as one of the originals when the Demon Hunter was unveiled. 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.
Graphics
Fan of Knives is a relatively simple spell. The Demon Hunter whirls around in a complete circle, and the air around her is disturbed and distorted as numerous blades appear and fly out in a circular area.
