Entangling Shot is a Demon Hunter skill unlocked at level 2. It is a spear-like projectile that binds the target, and nearby targets, in chains which slow their speed.

Background

Diablo III Active Skill [e]

Entangling Shot
Used by:	Demon Hunter
Enabled at:	Clvl 2
Skill Description
Binding chains that slow movement speed.
Type:	Damage/Debuff
Resource Use:	Costs Discipline
Skill Rune Effects
Alabaster rune:	Unknown

The skill releases a spear-like projectile that encumbers the target with ethereal chains and also does a percentage of weapon damage. If the target is close to other enemies, they will also be linked into the chain and slowed.

Skill Design

A shot at already Entangled enemies.

Entangling Shot largely works as a debuff; the target is greatly slowed by chains that hinder movement. Any monsters near the target are caught in the chains and slowed as well. This skill also does a small amount of damage to the target; however, the damage is small enough that the skill's main utility is for crowd control.

Development

Hi-ho spear thing, away!

Entangling Shot was first shown at BlizzCon 2010 when the Demon Hunter debuted. Flux reported about using it the gameplay demo:[1]

It’s largely a debuff; each shot ensnares enemies with a black chain that glows purple, and greatly slows their movement for several seconds. The arrow can hop between multiple targets, chaining them together for the duration. The damage dealt by the arrows is negligible though, so this was almost purely a defensive skill.

Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Entangling Shot became a level 2 skill.
