Active Skills
Click to the individual skill pages for more details about these skills including numbers, screenshots, runestone information, blue quotes, and much more.
Caltrops
Caltrops is available at level 1.
No description is available.
Hungering Arrow
Hungering Arrow is available at level 1.
An arrow skill that does bonus damage and has a seeking property, much like the Amazon's Guided Arrow from Diablo II.
- Description: A bolt that seeks out enemies and does X% damage and has an Y% chance to pierce the target.
Entangling Shot
Entangling Shot is available at level 2.
This debuff skill deals solid damage, as well as slowing the target. Nearby enemies may be chained as well, potentially slowing several monsters and blocking the movement of all that are stuck behind them.
- Description: Release a sticky adhesive that deals X% weapon damage and entangles up to X enemies, slowing their movement speed by X% for X seconds.
Evasive Fire
Evasive Fire is available at level 3.
No description is available.
Fan of Knives
Fan of Knives is available at level 4.
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.
- 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.
Bola Shot
Bola Shot is available at level 5.
The Demon Hunter uses a bow or crossbow to fire a spinning projectile; two bombs on a length of rope. The Bola hits the target and wraps around it, dealing minimal impact damage but considerably more explosive damage after a couple of seconds.
- Description: Shoot out an explosive Bola that wraps itself around its target. After X seconds the Bola explodes, dealing X% weapon damage to the target and an additional X% weapon damage to all targets within X feet.
Vault
Vault is available at level 6.
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.
Grenades
Grenades is available at level 7.
Grenades are small projectiles thrown by the Demon Hunter. They bounce around, ricocheting off of walls and other obstacles, before exploding a couple of seconds after they are thrown. They deal considerable fire damage, but are hard to aim precisely, and are best used against large mobs, especially to hit targets located in the back row.
- Description: Throw out three grenades that explode for X-X fire damage.
Marked for Death
Marked for Death is available at level 8.
No description is available.
Chakram

Multishot

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.
Sentry
Sentry is available at level 22.
Sentry creates a mechanical turret that fires arrows at enemies, working much like the Wizard's Hydra skill.
- Description: The Demon Hunter can have a maximum of X traps active at one time.

Passive Skills
Passive skills replaced Traits during late game development in 2011. Many Traits were simply changed to passive skills, but some are all new. See the Demon Hunter traits page for a full list of those passives.
| | Weak Spot | Increases critical strike damage by Template:Cyanize. | 3 | Demon Hunter |-
Archery is a Demon Hunter passive skill unlocked at Level 30, which grants bonuses to attacks made by bows or crossbows (bonuses are based on the weapon type of your main hand).
Description
Name | Level | Description |
---|
<skill class="DemonHunter">Archery</skill>
Synergies
Every damage dealing Demon Hunter attack benefits from Archery.
Development
Passive skills have had a long and storied history. When Diablo III debuted at the WWI 2008, skill trees included passive skills, much like in Diablo II. In 2010, it was announced that passive skills had been renamed traits and separated out from active skills. At the July 2011 Press Event, Blizzard announced that passive skills were once again in the game, replacing the traits system. Archery was first revealed in the July 2011 Press Event. It had a listed level of 6, which was clearly temporary since passives aren't available until level 10.
Beta
The beta started in September 2011, and Archery was moved to level 20. It became a level 22 passive for Beta Patch 13, and when passives were reorganized for Beta Patch 14, Archery was moved up to level 30.
