Just playing through with my old lvl 9 Demon Hunter (still has a runed bola shot even though the rune now doesn't unlock untill after lvl 13!) and I've noticed a few changes.
-Bola shot now explodes instantly if hitting a container or bit of destructible environment. Not sure if it will deal damage to nearby enemies. I will test out once I stop getting disconnected.
-If an enemy with a Bola shot on them is killed before it is allowed to explode, it will explode upon their death. This didn't happen in the past, and now it makes it a lot more useful in multiplayer
Anyone else notice any other bola shot changes or DH changes in general that weren't listed?
EDIT: now confirmed that mobs do get damaged from shooting bola at destructibles. This could add some new strategic options.

I could have sworn that was how it worked before when I was using it.. The instant explosion on destructible objects is a nice change, tho. I didn't like having to wait for it.
It make have been a patch 13 change, but I just remember using Bola shot in co-op and it never exploding because everyone else was busy doing insta damage. It was so unsatisfying, but now I'n co-op I'm just tagging as many mobs as I can rather than the one because I know everyone will kill em quick.
