'''Fan of Knives''' is a Hatred Spending Defensive [[Demon Hunter skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 1416. The Demon Hunter quickly whips around in a full circle, sending out a nova of blades that hit all targets in range, many of them multiple times.

The Demon Hunter magically summons a wealth of blades, distributing them in a spinning arc, damaging and slowing enemies within close-range, similar to the nova spells from [[Diablo]] of yore.

<blockquote>''The real limiting factor of this one is the very short range of the knives. They did good damage, but the range was barely beyond melee reach (not that the DH was using melee weapons), and it was fairly mana-expensive. As a result, this one was only worth using when you had at least two or three enemies at very close range. The perfect situation for it was a circle of Vessels, and I enjoyed killing all 6 or 8 Vessels in such scenarios several times with this skill. It took 2 or 3 FoKs to finish them all, but this was the fastest and most effective skill against those clusters of enemies in the entire demo.</blockquote>
Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], and Fan of Knives became a level 4 skill, then level 14. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]], and Fan of Knives was classified as a Defensive skill and moved up to level 16.
