Vault

Vault is the Demon Hunter's most important escape and positioning skill, sending you in an acrobatic leap that covers a large distance in an instant. For such a fragile class this Discipline-driven dash is indispensable for dodging enemies, getting into a better firing position, or escaping dangerous ground effects.

Acrobatics is a very popular rune, since it removes the Discipline cost entirely and adds a short cooldown instead – so you can stay mobile even in low-Discipline builds without straining your resources. If you want the leap to deal damage too, Trail of Cinders leaves a burning fire trail behind you, blending movement with sustained area damage. So depending on the rune, Vault serves as a pure movement tool or a mobile damage lever.

Runes by unlock level

Action Shot (from level 16): 4 arrows fly during the jump for 75% weapon damage, always as Critical Hits. In practice the most common pick.
Rattling Roll (level 23): enemies you vault through are knocked away and Stunned for 1.5 seconds.
Tumble (level 33): a second Vault within 6 seconds costs 50% less Discipline.
Acrobatics (level 38): no cost, but a 6-second cooldown.
Trail of Cinders (level 49): a fire trail dealing 300% weapon damage over 3 seconds.

Danetta's Hatred and other items

The Danetta's Hatred set consists of two hand crossbows. Together they make Vault cost 8 Hatred instead of Discipline and raise its damage by 800%. According to its description, the jump itself deals no damage, so the bonus needs a damage source such as Action Shot or Trail of Cinders. Danetta's Revenge also grants the Rattling Roll effect, and Danetta's Spite leaves a clone of you behind.

Chain of Shadows makes Vault free for 2 seconds after Impale, and Omryn's Chain drops Caltrops as you go. Elusive Ring cuts your damage taken by 50–60% for 8 seconds after the jump.

Partners

Shadow Power and Smoke Screen draw on the same Discipline as Vault; Preparation refills it instantly, and Blood Vengeance lets health globes return Hatred and a bit of Discipline. Spike Trap and Vengeance deliver the damage while Vault decides your position.
