'''Bola Shot''' (not Bolo Shot) is a Hatred Generating Primary [[Demon Hunter skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 43. It fires a pair of bombs on a rope that wrap around the target, sticking and dealing explosive damage to the main target and any targets close to it after a couple of seconds of delay. This skill is not limited to monsters, as the bola can also attach to doors, barrels, and other targettable targetable destructibles.

==Background==
[[File:bolo_small.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Bola Shot in action.]]The skill deals light damage upon the initial hit, but packs a considerable explosive charge after a couple of seconds. Multiple Bolas can be wrapped around the same target, yielding repeated explosions in rapid succession. The [[explosions]] damage other enemies in the immediate vicinity.

The following is a very quick listsummary.

<blockquote>''In practice it’s like Explosive Arrow with a time delay fuse; you hit monsters and deal tiny damage with the impact, but then about 1.5 seconds later the bomb goes off and deals substantial fire damage. This skill was fun and effective, but not great to stack on a single target, since you could shoot them 5 or 6 times before the bomb started going off, and usually 2 or 3 would kill anything short of a boss. Thus wasting almost all the damage of your last 3 or 4 shots. I found it most effective to hit monsters with one or two Bolas, and then move on to shoot something else, trusting them to die when the time delay ran out.</blockquote>
Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], and Bola Shot became a level 5 skill, but was soon changed to level 4. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]], and Bola Shot was classified as a Primary skill and moved to level 3.
