Dark Cloud

Revision as of 14:34, 29 May 2012 by Flux (talk | contribs)

Dark Cloud is a rune effect in Rain of Vengeance, a Hatred-spending Demon Hunter skill.

This rune effect retains the same damage while increasing the duration of the rain from 5 to 12 seconds. This should, in theory, more than double the total damage.


Skill Rune Effects

Refer to the Rain of Vengeance rune effects article for thorough descriptions of all five rune effects in this skill, including screenshots, videos, and strategy tips.

Media

The basic skill emulates the "massive wave of arrows" type attack that's popular in medieval and martial arts films, with various demonic/magical modifications from the skill runes. You can see all six functions in the movie below. Turn it up to 1080HD, and play it full screen for the best visuals.

Note that this video was obtained via data mining with an emulator. It was not released by Blizzard and there will likely be some modifications to the runestone effects in the final game.



Development

Prior to the skill revision in February 2012, this rune effect was enabled by the Indigo Rune, granting the following effect with a level 7 runestone:
