IconClusterArrow.png

Cluster Arrow is an Offensive Demon Hunter skill unlocked at Level 23. The Demon Hunter fires an arrow that hits the ground (in its basic version), and grenades erupt from the consequent blast, which in turn explode to damage enemies.




Background

Cluster Arrow in action

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


Skill Effects

The following is a very quick list. See the Cluster Arrow rune effects page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.


Icon Skill Description
IconEvasiveFire.png Evasive Fire
Hatred Generator
(Level 3)

[e]

Generate: 4 Hatred
Cost: 4 Discipline if you backflip

Shoot for 115% of weapon damage. If an enemy is in front of you at close range, you will also backflip away 15 yards.

IconCrimson.jpg Loaded for Bear Increases the damage of the explosion at the impact location to 264%.
IconIndigo.jpg Shooting Stars Instead of releasing grenades, shoots up to 9 rockets at nearby enemies dealing 220% weapon damage each.
IconObsidian.jpg Cluster Bombs Launch the cluster through the air, dropping a series of bombs in a straight line that explode for 110% weapon damage each.
IconGolden.jpg Maelstrom Instead of releasing grenades, the cluster releases Shadow energy that deals 220% weapon damage to nearby enemies. You will gain 51% of the damage done as Life.
IconAlabaster.jpg Dazzling Arrow Enemies hit by grenades have a 35% chance to be stunned for 2.5 seconds.

Note: Information is based on a level 60 character and rank 7 runestones.


Cluster Arrow Video

A video of Cluster Arrow and all its rune effects can be seen below, courtesy of the DiabloInc You Tube channel.

Grenades from the blast.


Skill Design

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.

Cluster Arrow with every rune effect.


Synergies


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.


Media

Cluster Arrow can be seen in action on video here:
