[[File:Char-prog-dh.png|center|frame|Demon Hunter skill progression. Stats as of May 5, 2012.]]
A fast movement skill, this allows the Demon Hunter to move a considerable distance at high speed, passing through monsters and other players, though not through solid objects or over open space, as [[Teleport]] or [[Leap Attack]] does.
 
  
* '''Description:''' Tumble acrobatically X feet.
 
  
===Fan of Knives===
 
  
[[Fan of Knives]]<br>
+
==Development==
This skill, instantly nicknamed "knife nova," shoots out numerous blades, dealing considerable physical damage to any targets nearby. The range is very short, hardly more than a melee weapon, making this one best used in very close range against multiple targets.
+
The [[Demon Hunter]] was the fifth and final character to be revealed in Diablo III, making her debut at [[Blizzcon 2010]].
  
* '''Description:''' Throw knives out in a spiral around you doing X-X damage to all enemies within X feet of you. Your knives will also slow enemies by X% for X seconds.

[[Molten Arrow]]<br>
 
Molten Arrow deals heavy fire damage, pierces all targets, and leaves a trail of flames behind it, dealing AoE damage to any enemy who walks over them. A very useful skill against large mobs, especially when lined up as in a narrow passageway.
 
  
* '''Description:'''  Shoot a piercing arrow that hits targets for X% weapon damage and leaves a trail of fire dealing X-X fire damage per second to all enemies who stand in it.
 
 
===Multishot===
 
 
[[Multishot]]<br>
 
The Diablo II favorite returns. This skill fires a huge cluster of arrows or bolts, guaranteeing a hit on everything in range. The mana cost is fairly high and the damage is lower than most single arrow attacks, making it best used against huge groups.
 
 
* '''Description:''' Fire a massive volley of arrows dealing X% weapon damage.

* '''Description:''' Place up to X mechanical contraptions on the ground. The contraptions spin and deal X-X damage to all nearby enemies. The contraptions also generate sawblades between them that deal damage to enemies in their path.
