Acid Strike is a rune effect in Bola Shot, a Hatred-generating Demon Hunter skill.
This rune effect fires three Bolas in a cluster, each of which deal 130% weapon damage as poison to the target only. They behave differently than other forms of this skill, though.
- The three Bolas go forth in a slightly forked cluster, much like the Wizard's Fork rune effect in Magic Missile. The player can not control how widely they are spaced.
- There is no splash damage; only the target takes damage.
- The target begins taking poison DoT as soon as struck, so there's a tiny bit of damage counted off during the second before the explosion.
This rune effect is best used against small groups of enemies almost as a form of AoE, though it's much less effective than some other forms of Bola Shot since there is no splash explosion. The firing rate is very quick and the large, sticky projectiles ensure that any targeted enemy will definitely be hit by at least one shot.
