Skill Design
Every character in Diablo III has a movement ability, and for the Demon Hunter, that would be Vault.
Once activated, the Demon Hunter moves over the ground in a series of flips and such, in a shadow form, until she reaches her destination. The Demon Hunter is assumed to be invulnerable during this time; however, she cannot Vault through doors, walls, or other obstacles.
Synergies
The following Demon Hunter passives provide a benefit to Vault, runed or not:
| Skill | Unlocked | Description |

<skill class="DemonHunter">Tactical Advantage</skill>
Development
Vault was first shown at BlizzCon 2010 as one of the originals when the Demon Hunter was unveiled. Wyatt Cheng had this to say about it[1]:
Flux also weighed in on the skill from his time on the BlizzCon 2010 demo[2]:
Vault was the last Demon Hunter skill the pre-made demo characters had, and it was useful to rush through the dungeon or to escape from boss packs. It was a fast moving cartwheel that covered about 1/2 the screen. It’s seen a few times in the DH cinematic. This skill allows the DH to pass through any monsters in the way, though it’s stopped by obstacles such as walls or doors or the huge, chopping cleaver booby traps that filled this year’s demo dungeon.
Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Vault became a level 6 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13, and Vault was classified as a Defensive skill and moved up to level 13.
Media
Vault can be seen in action on video here:
You can find pictures in the Diablo III screenshot and picture gallery:

Another shot of the multiple shadows.
Each shadow has its own posture.
By now, you should be sick of the word 'vault'.
