Cluster Arrow is an Archery Demon Hunter skill unlocked at Level 27. 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.
Contents
Background

Skill Rune Effects
The following is a very quick summary. See the Cluster Arrow rune effects page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
<skill class="DemonHunter">Cluster Arrow</skill>
Notes
- The Demon Hunter must have a bow, crossbow, or hand xbow equipped to use Cluster Arrow.
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.
Video
A video of Cluster Arrow and all its rune effects can be seen below, courtesy of the DiabloInc You Tube channel.
