This guide will break down and explain the best Rogue build in Diablo 4, along with providing step-by-step instructions on how to make our Shadow Rogue build. For instance, Puncture and Flurry both deal damage to foes in addition to reducing their movement speed and making them more vulnerable to damage from other sources. After that, you can put these adversaries under the Dazed effect by using Dash and Smoke Grenade. This will make them more susceptible to any subsequent attacks you launch against them. This Rogue build for Diablo 4 places a significant amount of emphasis on Shadow Imbuement due to the fact that it enables Flurry to infect its opponents. This functions in a manner that is comparable to the Corpse Explosion Necromancer skill; however, despite dealing a lower amount of damage, it is nonetheless an extremely effective method for tearing through the legions of hell. This does exactly what you would expect it to do, which is to create a murky copy of your character that mimics your attacks and abilities for a period of 15 seconds and lasts for the duration of the spell. Puncture 

 

The Diablo 4 Shadow Rogue build that we are using requires the use of the Puncture ability.

  • It gives you the ability to attack nearby enemies from a relatively close range by hurling three blades in a slashing motion at them

  • However, the Fundamental Puncture upgrade also provides you with the ability to make enemies vulnerable for two seconds, which results in an increase of twenty percent in the amount of damage they take

  • This effect remains active for the entire time that the upgrade is active

  • It is also essential to take into consideration the fact that Puncture will be converted into a builder if the first available upgrade for this ability, Enhanced Puncture, is purchased

  • Flurry Flurry is your primary means of expending energy and each time it is cast, it requires that you spend 25 Energy

  • When you use this ability, you will move closer to the enemies that are in front of your character and attack each of them four times

  • This is an extremely effective melee attack on its own, but with the Enhanced Flurry upgrade, it becomes directly relevant to this build by restoring your health whenever it deals damage to an opponent who is vulnerable or under the control of a crowd

  • This effect occurs whenever it deals damage to an opponent who is vulnerable or under the control of a crowd

     

The Improved Flurry upgrade helps it synergize even more, as it will apply the Vulnerable effect to all enemies hit with a cast of the skill if it hits a single Vulnerable enemy. This helps it synergize even more effectively with other skills that have the Vulnerable effect. Because of this, it is better able to work in conjunction with other skills that grant the Vulnerable effect, as well as skills that grant it themselves. It is especially useful for dodging danger when your health is low, but the Disciplined Dash upgrade also makes it easier for this Rogue build to work in conjunction with it. As a result of the Discipled Dash upgrade, any enemies that are struck receive a slowing effect that lasts for three seconds. This effect can be used multiple times. Smoke GrenadeAny adversary that is struck by the Smoke Grenade will have the Dazed status effect applied to them for a duration of four seconds. This effect will last as long as the Smoke Grenade is active. If an opponent is already defenseless or has their movement slowed, the Subverting Smoke Grenade upgrade will cause them to be dazed for a period of time that is 20% longer than before.

The permeation of darkness throughoutShadow Imbuement grants you the ability to infuse Flurry with shadow damage, which will infect any enemies it hits for a period of six seconds after each successful hit it scores. The upgrades for Shadow Imbuement make it even more powerful, with the Enhanced upgrade providing a 25% higher chance of critical hits against foes that are infected with a disease. In the Shadows of the CloneShadow Clone, the ultimate ability for our Shadow Rogue build, bestows upon you a mimic that will copy your actions for a period of 15 seconds. This mimic will copy your actions exactly as you perform them. Even though they deal slightly less damage than your player character, Shadow Clones still offer a significant boost to your player character's potential to deal damage to other players. This allows you to spread those debuffs even further, after which you can capitalize on them by performing additional attacks, which, in the end, results in a significant increase in the amount of damage you deal in comparison to what you could do on your own.
