|description=Fires a large number of arrows into the air, to land at the target after a short delay.
''Before they're given their first Long Bow, aspiring archers on Oriath are taught the art of the Arrow Rain. When the student is ready to be tested, he is taken out to the marshes, and commanded to fire a salvo at a flock of geese. The aspirant must bring down at least a dozen birds with one barrage, or it's back for another year of training and discipline.''
''Naturally, the Rain of Arrows technique is often used to devastating effect on the field of battle. A skilled archer fires a single enchanted missile aloft, and when it descends, it multiplies to carpet an entire area in a lethal shower. Be wary if you ever behold an enemy archer pointing their bow skyward.''
'''Rain of Arrows''' is a ranged [[attack]] [[skill]] that fires a number of arrows in the air, which deal [[area of effect]] [[projectile]] damage as they land. Arrows initially fall at the targeted location, then spread outward.

==Skill functions and interactions==
* '''Arrow placement:''' Half of the arrows fall randomly within the skill's area of effect. The other half picks targets in a series of rings ''around'' the targeted location.<ref>https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2133090</ref>
* '''AoE''': Each arrow deals area damage where it lands. A single enemy can be hit multiple times, though the likelihood of this depends on the skill's area of effect modifiers and enemy size. Against an average-sized boss, 2-5 hits per attack is a realistic expectation.
* '''Additional Arrows/Projectiles:''' Additional arrows will be added at the outer portion of the area of effect, increasing its coverage, but not damage to individual targets. Support gems such as {{il|Greater Multiple Projectiles Support}} are likely unattractive, as their projectile count is additive with the large arrow count this skill has by default.
* '''Attack speed''': The skill's [[attack speed]] affects both the user's attack animation and how fast arrows strike the ground.
* '''Travel distance''': Effects like {{psl|Point Blank}} use the distance between where the skill was used and the enemy that was hit.
* '''[[Projectile#Projectile_Behaviours|Projectile behaviours]]''': Projectiles from Rain of Arrows do not collide with enemies or terrain; they cannot use mechanics like [[Pierce]] or [[Return]].
==Skill Functions and Interactions==
==Gem level progression==
'''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 will speed up or shorten the delay.
{{Skill progression

'''Projectile Damage''': Rain of Arrows deals projectile damage and will be affected by corresponding modifiers, though the gem is not considered to be a Projectile skill and cannot be supported by Projectile supports.
