The flying quills of the manticore's tail are filled with lethal toxin.

Cheaper, Stronger Cluster Arrow

This crossbow improves Cluster Arrow twice over: it noticeably lowers the skill's Hatred cost while also boosting its damage substantially. You can fire Cluster Arrow more often and hit harder in the process – a direct gain in both efficiency and punch.

For the Demon Hunter the Manticore is the obvious cornerstone of a Cluster Arrow build built on sustained fire. The reduced cost keeps your Hatred pool fuller for longer, letting you call on the damage boost almost without interruption. Tip: Pair the crossbow with Hatred-regeneration sources so the resource never runs dry – fire empowered Cluster Arrow continuously and maintain a steadily high damage output against both single targets and groups.

What the crossbow changes

The cost reduction is fixed: Cluster Arrow normally costs 40 Hatred, and with the Manticore only half of that. The damage bonus rolls between 250 and 300%; a copy at 279% sits above the midpoint, and a Primal Ancient delivers the full 300%. Since Cluster Arrow requires a bow or crossbow, the Manticore fits the skill directly as your weapon. The power can also be used from the weapon slot of Kanai's Cube.

Runes for Cluster Arrow

Without a rune, the arrow explodes for 650% weapon damage as Fire and splits into 4 grenades for 250% each.

  • Loaded for Bear raises the explosion at the impact point to 850%.
  • Cluster Bombs drops grenades in a straight line for 650% each.
  • Maelstrom fires up to 3 Cold rockets and grants 2% Life per enemy hit.
  • Shooting Stars goes for 2 Physical rockets at 600% each.
  • Dazzling Arrow stuns and turns the damage into Lightning.

Stats and partners

Every copy carries Poison Damage of +981–1,199 to 1,175–1,490; for the main stat, a Demon Hunter picks Dexterity at 626 to 750 points. The Manticore is paired with pieces such as Marauder's Visage, Marauder's Spines, Marauder's Carapace and Marauder's Gloves, Squirt's Necklace and Captain Crimson's Silk Girdle.

The flavor text explains the fixed Poison damage along the way: the flying quills of the manticore's tail are filled with lethal toxin.
