-With a click the Demon Hunter vaults a considerable distance in the blink of an eye, passing right through monsters, though walls and other hard obstacles will stop the movement. Vault can be used repeatedly, with no cool down, [[Discipline]] permitting.

 '''Vault''' was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2010]] as one of the originals when the [[Demon Hunter]] was unveiled. [[Wyatt Cheng]] had this to say about it[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-gameplay-panel-transcript/P1/]:
 <blue>This a movement skill. The Barbarian has Leap Attack, the Wizard has Teleport and we wanted to make sure all our classes had a way to get around the battlefield. In this skill we wanted to sell the Shadow theme. Initially we talked about Shadow Vault and stuff like that, but we decided to just call it Vault and let the art peak for itself. There's no need to have to weave these concepts into every single skill. The artistic representation has some acrobatics and has some shadow themes to it. It's basically a way to take a solid mechanic and wrap it up with the aesthetic we are trying to sell and deliver something we think will be fun for the players.</blue>

 ===Beta===
 Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Vault became a level 6 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]], and Vault was classified as a Defensive skill and moved up to level 13. For [[Beta Patch 14]], it was re-classified as a Hunting skill and dropped to level 9. The "Hunting" category replaced "Shadow".

 [[Flux]] also weighed in on the skill from his time on the BlizzCon 2010 demo[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/demon-hunter-screenshots-and-hands-on-report/]:
 <blockquote>''Vault was the last Demon Hunter skill the pre-made demo characters had, and it was useful to rush through the dungeon or to escape from boss packs. It was a fast moving cartwheel that covered about 1/2 the screen. It’s seen a few times in the DH cinematic. This skill allows the DH to pass through any monsters in the way, though it’s stopped by obstacles such as walls or doors or the huge, chopping cleaver booby [[trap]]s that filled this year’s demo dungeon.</blockquote>

 ==Trivia==
-''Hide this section unless there really is some trivia about the skill. Add the skill to the [[:Category:Easter Eggs|Easter Eggs]] category as well if the article contains Easter Egg information.''

+The skill animations for Vault were modified slightly during the beta. Initially both genders of Demon Hunter vaulted in a cartwheel animation. Someone must have decided this wasn't macho enough for the male though, since his Vault became a sort of sideways flipping leap, without any hand planted on the ground, pre-release.
