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.

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.
