How to make a great Rogue build

Image: Blizzard/Activision via Polygon

Rogues are the classic bow wielders Diablo 4. But they are also much more than that. Instead of just hurling arrows, they also use camouflage, traps and knives. That makes her one of them Diablo 4is the most versatile class and also offers you several different build paths:

• Momentum
• Close combat
• precision
• Vulnerable
• Catch

Close combat-Specific builds have a few options. You can use that Momentum Key Passive to deal additional damage and gain bonus effects when stabbing enemies in the back or attacking those affected by certain crowd control effects such as Stunned, Dazed, or Frozen. Likewise those Passive melee key Gives you bonuses for using certain skills on nearby enemies.

For was enough builds, precision is your best choice. If you score a critical hit on an enemy with sniper skills, your chance of a critical hit increases dramatically over time.

Then there are Rogues status builds. The Victimize key passive Causes hits to trigger an explosion on vulnerable enemies. The Exposure key passive Gives a small chance of massive buffs when the Rogue deals damage with a trap.

When building your own Rogue build, remember that mobility and versatility are your friends. The main passives here are not complete identities in themselves, as is the case with some other classes. Instead, they are huge bonuses that fit multiple play styles. When creating your rogue, think about which skills you want to use and which specializations you want to use first, then choose your key passive once you reach the end.
