Volatile Explosives is a rune effect in Bola Shot, a Hatred-generating Demon Hunter skill.
This rune effect doubles the radius of effect, from 7 to 14 yards. This is a huge improvement, adding vastly more functionality than you might expect before experimenting with the rune effect. At 7 yards, the explosion only hits the targeted monster and perhaps two or three others standing virtually on top of it. At 14 yards the explosion can easily hit half a dozen or more enemies, and entire large packs can be wiped out by two or three of these bombs spread throughout a group of enemies.
Note that the radius of effect is closer to quadrupled than doubled. The area of a circle is pi r squared. Thus:
- Base effect of 7y radius: (3.14 x 7 squared) = 153.86 yards.
- Volatile Explosives 14y radius: (3.14 x 14 squared) = 615.44.
