Skill Design

Molten trail left by the skill.

Molten Arrow almost appears to be the equivalent of Fire Wall from previous Diablo games, but with a different mechanism for targeting it. The Demon Hunter fires in the direction of her cursor, and the initial shot does damage but leaves behind a trail of fire that functions similarly to fire wall.
This type of skill will be at its most efficient when fired down tight corridors or other enclosed areas where movement is restricted.

Development

We didn't start the fire.

Molten Arrow was first shown at BlizzCon 2010 as one of the originals when the Demon Hunter was unveiled. Flux related his experience with this skill in the demo:[1]

The animation is fun too, since the Demon Hunter ducks down like she’s blasting a bazooka, giving you the feel of using a mega-cannon with massive kick. Which you are, basically.

The AoE lasted for several seconds, and while it was much less damaging than the initial damage, it was plenty to finish off already wounded monsters, or to take a big bite out of healthy ones. It was nice against Zombies and other shamblers, who would linger in the burn zone long enough to get pretty well cooked.
