Impale is a Demon Hunter Secondary skill in Diablo III.

In-game

The Demon Hunter throws a dagger that flies straight ahead, hitting the first enemy it hits for high Physical damage. The knife is considered a missile.

Runes:

  • Impact: Impale's target is knocked back and is Stunned for 1.5 seconds.
  • Chemical Burn: Impale's damage type changes to Fire, and the entity unfortunate enough to be hit will also burn for 250% damage as Fire every second, for 2 seconds.
  • Overpenetration: Impale's damage type changes to Cold. The throwing knife will also gain a piercing capability, hitting all enemies in a straight line.
  • Ricochet: Impale's damage type changes to Lightning. In addition, after the initial target, it can also hit two more enemies (cannot hit the same target twice), provided those are within 20 yards of each other.
  • Grievous Wounds: If the knife critically hits an opponent, the Demon Hunter adds 330% to his/her existing Critical Hit Damage for the attack.

Non-rune enhancements

  • Embodiment of the Marauder Set (Set Bonus for 4 items): any time the Demon Hunter fires Impale, all of their Sentries will fire it as well at the same target, fully benefiting from runes and enhancements.
  • Embodiment of the Marauder Set (Set Bonus for 6 items): for every active Sentry, damage of the Demon Hunter's own Impale increases by +100%.
