Skill Design
Every character in Diablo III has at least one movement ability. The Demon Hunter has several with Vault the most obvious and fastest.
With a click the Demon Hunter vaults a considerable distance in the blink of an eye, passing right through monsters, though walls and other hard obstacles will stop the movement. Vault can be used repeatedly, with no cool down, Discipline permitting.
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.
Beta
Skill tiers were removed shortly before the beta started in September 2011, 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. For Beta Patch 14, it was re-classified as a Hunting skill and dropped to level 9. The "Hunting" category replaced "Shadow".
Trivia
The skill animations for Vault were modified slightly during the beta. Initially both genders of Demon Hunter vaulted in a cartwheel animation. Someone must have decided this wasn't macho enough for the male though, since his Vault became a sort of sideways flipping leap, without any hand planted on the ground, pre-release.
