Impact is a rune effect in Impale, a Hatred-spending Demon Hunter skill.
This rune effect adds a good chance to stun and knockback the target. This is a very valuable rune effect for the Demon Hunter, as the stun can control an enemy during combat. Alternating this attack with others against tough Elite enemies can be very useful.
The stun effect on enemies will interrupt and reset their casting animations. For instance, hitting the Skeleton King with this attack just as he's about to summon skeletons will knock him out of that animation and back to normal behavior.
