What do u think of it? I would call it a bit "strange". Another AOE, in addition to molten arrow and multi shot. Even bola does some minor AOE damage.. At the moment i dont understand how it differs from multishot (except if u not going to use on of those amazing rune effects with stun/leech). But looks stylish, designers done great job with this.

I wouldn't say it's that similar to multishot other than being AoE. First of all, other than the fact that it looks badass, the AoE hits a pretty different area than multishot, also appears to have some randomness in how the cluster bombs fall, also you will Always have a rune in your skills, so no reason really to compare base skills only.

Looks like a great way to bypass attacking frontline enemies and take out that annoying cluster of soft range units in behind.

Well, look at the shapes.

Multishot spreads out in a large arc, hitting a horizontal line in front of the Demon Hunter. It will likely be the best skill for open area fighting and to kill out swarming melee.

Molten Arrow hits everything in a long line. Obviously going to be superior in any situation where you can line enemies up.

Clustershot hits a concentrated area. Will likely have highest damage due to smallest area, and will likely be used to take out archer/mage cluster in the back. In fact, I also expect this thing to be pretty fantastic at hitting single targets for high damage.

Personally, I'd call it a bit badass. My only question is: why is it called cluster arrow? Looks more like a cluster bomb to me.

Very likely because an arrow delivers it.

Do u think splash damage range from grenades is enough? Also im curious how indigo runed cluster arrow will work vs single traget.

Against fatties it should be. And indigo would all target the same thing unless they explicitly code a hard cap limit.

Incidentally, I think that would translate to the Indigo cluster arrow to be a very strong competitor to the stunning cluster arrow for PvP.

Still im very interested about indigo runed version of this skill. Maybe someone can share any info about the possibilty of single target attack with rockets from indigo version?
