In the week (or so) leading up to the 0.9.3 patch, we're posting screenshots of new content and features. Today's screenshot shows a Ranger using the new skill "Rain of Arrows" in the newly revamped Terraces area

This looks sick!

Having been able to test the Rain of Arrows I can confirm that it not only looks sick it IS pretty sick :D

Almost (!) wants to make me play a ranger. Almost ^^

The new colors of the player look fantastic and much better than the washed out browns that you had before. That skill also looks great.

Interesting looking skill, can't wait to try it out.
Almost forgot, thank you for the update...

Will skills like these carry over effects or just base damage. I'm not exactly sure what all effects there are (knockback was mentioned), but if there are additions like critical strike, will those also be added into the damage modifiers?

just one more week, can we open new season with good pvp event ???

All of your weapon attack modifiers from passives and gear (added damage, attack speed, etc.) are added to weapon-attack skills as well. You can also get other bonuses (like knockback, pierce, or even more damage/speed modifiers) by linking support gems to the skill gem.

So, in short, if it applies to your normal weapon attack, it also applies to skills that use your weapon.

Wow, I cant stop looking at those chunks of flesh on the beach towels. The spells look great as well, looking forward to seeing them in action...

Um, what happens if you have knockback with that? lol <3

same with piercing :)

and adding multiple projectiles + increased aoe gives you a yellow screen at high gem lvl? :)

Looks great just a suggestion though, arrows sticking out from the ground look unnatural, none of them entered deeper none of them pierced the ground from a different angle. Now it may be too much asking for different angles of penetration and different depth of penetration but at least make sure are no arrow heads visible on those arrows that are sticking out from the ground.

Also don't forget you guys promised us videos not only screenshots ;)

Edit: Actually looking more carefully at the picture there are slight angle differences...
