Rain of Arrows is a ranged attack skill that fires a number of arrows in the air, with each of them landing to deal area of effect over a short period of time.

Skill functions and interactions

Targeting: Half of the arrows will attempt to target a creature within their range, while the other half will land randomly. A single enemy can be hit multiple times.
Additional Arrows/Projectiles: Any source of additional arrows/projectiles is added to the total number of arrows fired, thus making support gems like Lesser Multiple Projectiles Support and Greater Multiple Projectiles Support very inefficient. Additional arrows will be added at the outer portion of the Area of Effect, effectively increasing the AoE of the skill.
Delay: Rain of Arrows will impact after a delay equal to the attack time, so the first attack will land as the second is being launched. Projectile Speed modifiers affect the delay.
Projectile damage: Like any Bow skill, Rain of Arrows deals projectile damage and will be affected by any appropriate damage modifiers, such as Vicious Projectiles Support.
Point Blank Support/keystone passive: Distant enemies hit by the same area of effect will take less damage than enemies near the location of the attacker.
Pierce, Fork and Chain: Projectiles from Rain of Arrows land on the ground dealing area damage and disappear - they cannot fork, chain nor pierce. Several unique items, such as Drillneck, Gloomfang or Slivertongue don't benefit Rain of Arrows with their special conditional modifiers.

Item acquisition

Rain of Arrows can drop anywhere. Drop level: 12.
