Cluster Arrow is a Demon Hunter skill unlocked at level (unknown). The Demon Hunter fires an arrow that hits the ground (in its basic version), and grenades erupt from the consequent blast, which in turn explode to damage enemies.

Skill Design

Grenades from the blast.

Cluster Arrow appears to have a direct damage component before generating the grenades that explode and damage the enemies within its radius with fire damage.

Three sharp red lines appear behind the demon hunter and travel forward, the blast hitting the ground with a fairly large explosion, leaving a decal on the ground, where the grenades pop out of. The grenades, much like the Grenade skill itself, will bounce around for a short while before detonating.
