Skill Description
Fire a blast that erupts into explosive grenades.
Type: Direct Damage/AoE
Resource Use: Costs Discipline
Skill Rune Effects
Alabaster rune: Adds a stun effect to the grenade explosions.
Crimson rune: Increases the damage of the explosion at the point of impact.
Golden rune: Instead of grenades, the skill spawns shadow creatures that attack nearby enemies and leech life to the demon hunter.

The skill generates a number of grenades upon impact. The explosions damage other enemies in the immediate vicinity.


Skill Design

Grenades from the blast.

Cluster Arrow appears to have a direct damage component before generating the grenades that explode and damage the enemies within its radius with fire damage.

Three sharp red lines appear behind the demon hunter and travel forward, the blast hitting the ground with a fairly large explosion, leaving a decal on the ground, where the grenades pop out of. The grenades, much like the Grenade skill itself, will bounce around for a short while before detonating.

Development

Everyone loves explosions.

Cluster Arrow was the first skill from the demon hunter to be shown outside of BlizzCon 2010. It premiered with the official website update for skill runes.

Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Cluster Arrow became a level 23 skill.
