Bolo Shot is a Tier 1 Demon Hunter skill, which requires a character level of 2. It fires a pair of bombs on a rope that wrap around the target, sticking and dealing explosive damage to the main target and any targets close to it after a couple of seconds of delay. This skill is not limited to monsters, as the bolo can also attach to doors, barrels, and other targettable destructibles.
