'''Grenades''' is a an Offensive [[Demon Hunter skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|levelLevel]] 7. When using this skill the Demon Hunter tosses out three small metal objects that skitter along the dungeon floor, bouncing off walls and through doorways.
They detonate after about a one-second delay, dealing substantial fire damage to any targets in the vicinity. Higher levels in the skill raise their damage, and can be combined with [[Runestones]] to turn the Grenades into a formidable support skill.
<br><br>__TOC__
==Background==
The skill releases a set number of grenades (dependent upon skill rank and possibly runes) into the targeted area. The grenades are physics-enabled, so they are able to bounce around objects like barrels or off of platforms such as walls and doors. After a one second delay, they explode in quick succession, doing splash fire damage to any objects or enemies close by.
==Skill Effects==
The following is a very quick list. See the [[Grenades rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

{{center|}<p style="text-align:center">Note: Information is based on a level 60 character and rank 7 runestones.}} ===Grenades Video===A video of Greandes can be seen below, courtesy of [http://www.youtube.com/Diablo3Inc the Diablo.IncGamers.com You Tube channel]. <youtube>4dAZOg0FyoA</pyoutube>
==Skill Design==
The Demon Hunter tosses three of the spiked grenades with one point in the skill. The toss determines how far they are aimed; clicking very near the Demon Hunter just drops them, while pointing at the edge of the screen hurls them very quickly, to bounce well out of sight (barring walls or other obstructions.) The grenades pass freely through enemies and other players, but are fully controlled by the physics of the dungeon levels; they bounce off of walls and objects, and will fall over the sides of levels where there are breaks in railings, etc.
===Controlling the Grenades===
<blue>I think it’s fine. It’s fun and you can pull off some pretty fun trick-moves. Not super practical all the time but I think it will definitely have its strategy. Plus, you can throw a rune on it and change the behavior if you’re having trouble gauging the throw distance.</blue>

'''Grenades''' was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2010]] as one of the originals when the [[Demon Hunter]] was unveiled. According to [[Wyatt Cheng]] from the Gameplay Panel:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-gameplay-panel-transcript/P1/]
Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], and Grenades became a level 7 skill.
