Click to the individual skill pages for more details about these skills including numbers, screenshots, runestone information, blue quotes, and much more.
Caltrops
Caltrops is available at level 1.
No description is available.
Hungering Arrow
Hungering Arrow is available at level 1.
No description is available.
Entangling Shot
Entangling Shot is available at level 2.
This debuff skill deals solid damage, as well as slowing the target. Nearby enemies may be chained as well, potentially slowing several monsters and blocking the movement of all that are stuck behind them.
- Description: Release a sticky adhesive that deals X% weapon damage and entangles up to X enemies, slowing their movement speed by X% for X seconds.
Evasive Fire
Evasive Fire is available at level 3.
No description is available.
Fan of Knives
Fan of Knives is available at level 4.
This skill, instantly nicknamed "knife nova," shoots out numerous blades, dealing considerable physical damage to any targets nearby. The range is very short, hardly more than a melee weapon, making this one best used in very close range against multiple targets.
- Description: 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.
Bola Shot
Bola Shot is available at level 5.
The Demon Hunter uses a bow or crossbow to fire a spinning projectile; two bombs on a length of rope. The Bola hits the target and wraps around it, dealing minimal impact damage but considerably more explosive damage after a couple of seconds.
- Description: Shoot out an explosive Bola that wraps itself around its target. After X seconds the Bola explodes, dealing X% weapon damage to the target and an additional X% weapon damage to all targets within X feet.
Vault
Vault is available at level 6.
A fast movement skill, this allows the Demon Hunter to move a considerable distance at high speed, passing through monsters and other players, though not through solid objects or over open space, as Teleport or Leap Attack does.
- Description: Tumble acrobatically X feet.
Grenades
Grenades is available at level 7.
Grenades are small projectiles thrown by the Demon Hunter. They bounce around, ricocheting off of walls and other obstacles, before exploding a couple of seconds after they are thrown. They deal considerable fire damage, but are hard to aim precisely, and are best used against large mobs, especially to hit targets located in the back row.
- Description: Throw out three grenades that explode for X-X fire damage.
Marked for Death
Marked for Death is available at level 8.
No description is available.
Chakram

Multishot
Multishot is available at level 21.
The Diablo II favorite returns. This skill fires a huge cluster of arrows or bolts, guaranteeing a hit on everything in range. The mana cost is fairly high and the damage is lower than most single arrow attacks, making it best used against huge groups.
- Description: Fire a massive volley of arrows dealing X% weapon damage.
Sentry
Sentry is available at level 22.
Sentry creates a mechanical turret that fires arrows at enemies, working much like the Wizard's Hydra skill.
- Description: The Demon Hunter can have a maximum of X traps active at one time.

Passive Skills

Name | Req Level | Description |
---|---|---|
Weak Spot | 3 | Increases critical strike damage by X%. |
Archery | 6 | Reduces the cost of Hatred-type skills by X%. |
Cloak of Shadows | 6 | Reduces melee damage taken by X%. |
Aggression | 12 | Increases attack by X%. |
Superior Skill | 12 | Increases precision by X%. |

Ballistics | 24 | Increases damage dealt by rockets (?) by X%. The rocket effect is provided by certain runestones. |
Hot Pursuit | 24 | When Hatred is at its maximum, run speed is increased by X%. |
Killing Spree | 24 | When an enemy is killed by the Demon Hunter, the next attack dealt within the next Y seconds has X% increased critical strike chance. |
Resourcefulness | 24 | When Discipline is under X%, the regeneration of Hatred is increased by Y%. |
Note: The listed levels of the passive skills are clearly a holdover of when they were traits and will change in the future.
