The '''massacre''' [[experience bonus]] (or "kill streak") is an event in Diablo III is bonus awarded to characters who kill 3 when a large number of character kills numerous monsters without any significant large pauses between the infliction of damagedeaths. Massacre bonuses award some small [[experience]] bonuses, but as it's usually much less than the monsters themselves were worth, the main motivation for most players their chief reward is the fun factorand variety.

Scores of ten or twelve are easy to achieve in the early going, but much higher tallies of dozens or even hundreds of kills can be achieved in especially-crowded areas, or by players who "herd" monsters or work into large groups. Massacre bonuses are similar to entice monster summoners to create a and may be comprised of multiple [[Mighty Blow]] bonuses, which count especially large number numbers of enemieskilled at one time (either from a single attack or multiple attacks blowing up simultaneously.)

* Various [[Achievements]] are tied to Massacre bonuses are similar to and may be comprised of , along with other [[Mighty BlowExperience#Kill_Streaks_and_Massacres|special experience bonuses]] bonuses, which count how many monsters were killed by a single attack.

The massacre feature was first shown at the [[BlizzCon 2008]] gameplay demo, where most players were enthusiastic about the new arcade-style feature. In an interview from that time[http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcon-press-conference-with-jay-wilson/], [[Jay Wilson]] said there was a maximum hard cap for the experience bonus, but that it was set it so high he didn't think anyone would ever achieve it.

In September 2009, [[<blue><font color="#FFFFFF">Q: Is there any caps on the Killing Spree combo?</font><br>Jay Wilson]] said in : Yes, there is a press conference[http://wwwmaximum combination combo.diiiIt’s related to your level but I don’t think anyone can actually get it.net/blog/comments/blizzcon-press-conference-with-jay-wilson/] that the idea came from when the team tried to give the {{iw|Shrines#Experience_Shrine Experience Shrine}} and {{iw|Shrines#Monster_Shrine Monster Shrine}} from Diablo II It has a new twisttheoretical limit, making but you are not likely to reach it more like a game mechanic than the only two shrines people cared about.</blue>

A Demon Hunter scores 368 in the The [[Weeping Hollow]].

The current record from highest total recorded in the [[Diablo 3 beta]], was an incredible 11,391 kills in 106 minutes. This was only possible by abusing monster spawners, and is not possible in the retail game as monster spawners do not create such numbers of enemies anymore. (Besides the fact that no player is so bored and creative as to try such a thing with the full game to play.)
