Multishot is an Archery Demon Hunter skill unlocked at Level 22. The Demon Hunter shoots a fan of arrows or bolts.
Contents
Background
The Demon Hunter fires a fan of arrows.
Skill Rune Effects
The following is a very quick summary. See the Multishot 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">Multishot</skill>
Notes
- The Demon Hunter must have a bow, crossbow, or hand xbow equipped to use Multishot.
Skill Design
Multishot is a carry-over skill from the Amazon in Diablo II, and it functions in the same way albeit in a slightly more exaggerated form. The shot fans out into an erratic blast of bolts from the Demon Hunter's crossbows, filling a larger and larger area of the screen as it travels outward.
Synergies
The following Demon Hunter passives provide a benefit to Multishot:
| Skill | Unlocked | Description |
|---|
<skill class="DemonHunter">Thrill of the Hunt</skill>
| {{{icon}}} | [[{{{name}}}]] | 16 | {{{desc}}} |
Development
This skill was first shown at BlizzCon 2010 as one of the originals when the Demon Hunter was unveiled. Flux described using it in the demo:[1]
It looks awesome; you get a fantastic burst of arrows that look very impressive. Try counting them in one of the screenshots; I did a very quick scan across one shot and got to well over 100. That was at Rank 1/5 in the demo, so possibly it will produce less in the final game, but I don’t think so. It’s meant to be something of a shock and awe attack, at least visually.
Beta
Skill tiers were removed shortly before the beta started in September 2011, and Multishot became a level 21 skill, but was soon changed to level 17. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13, and Multishot was classified as a Devices skill and moved up to level 22. For Beta Patch 14, it was re-classified as an Archery skill (but stayed at level 22).
In Other Games
Multishot is an updated and exaggerated version of Diablo II's Amazon skill Multishot.
Media
Multishot can be seen in action on video here:
You can find pictures in the Diablo III screenshot and picture gallery:

Not much left to say about it.
Pop quiz, hotshot: what skill is this?
