Diablo 4 Season 1: Rapid Fire Flurry Rogue Endgame Build Guide

• Caged Heart of the Dark Dance (Vicious, Offensive-World Level 3): When you have more than 60% health, trade 68-51 health for more power in your attacks. Also, skills that use health make your attacks stronger by 10-20%.
• Caged Heart of the Picana (Vicious, Offensive): Shock enemies with critical hits for 0.75-2.50 seconds, zapping them with lightning that deals 68-136 Lightning damage.
• Caged Heart of Cluster Munitions (Vicious, Offensive): Sometimes, you have a 20% chance to throw 3 Stun Grenades that stun enemies for 0.50 seconds and deal 26-32 Physical damage.
• Caged Heart of Tempting Fate (Vicious, Offensive-World Level 3): Make your critical hits hurt 40-60% more, but get ready to take 20-15% less damage from regular hits.
• Caged Heart of the Clipshot (Devious, Useful): Skills that hurt a lot of slow enemies by 40% for 3 seconds. Skills that are good at hitting from a distance push enemies back sometimes (20-40% chance)
• Caged Heart of Revenge (Brutal, Defensive-World Level 3): Ignore 10-20% of damage you get, then when you use certain skills, explode and deal 1360-2040 Fire damage to enemies nearby. The explosion happens automatically. This Brutal Core is a must-have, mainly focused on damage reducing.
• Caged Heart of The Barber (Wrathful, Super-World Level 3): Take critical hits for 2.0-4.0 seconds, then release all that damage as a powerful attack on nearby enemies, getting stronger over time. Update 1.1.1 made it work better with certain attacks and gave it extra abilities for smart players.

• Puncture (Basic Skill): Every third time you use this ability, a strong magic effect happens, making your enemies move slower by a big 20%. This skill is super important for building up Combo Points. It also weakens enemies and slows them down. It might not do the most damage, but it's smart to use.
• Rapid Fire (Core Skill): When you need to hit one tough enemy, this is the skill. Quickly shoot a group of 5 arrows, each dealing X 33% damage. It's like the Rogue's answer to strong enemies like bosses. It does strong damage and helps you take them down fast.
• Flurry (Core Skill): The Rogue's specialty! With Flurry, they do lots of quick attacks in a cone shape. With an upgrade called Encircling Blades, the attack goes all around, hitting everything nearby.
• Shadow Imbuement (Agility Skill): This is like the final piece of the puzzle. It gives Flurry a dark boost. The attack turns into Shadow damage and ensnares foes for 6 seconds, exploding upon their defeat to damage X 40% nearby enemies with their essence. Ideal for group attacks.
• Dash and Shadow Step (Agility Skill): Moving around is easy for the Rogue. Dash and Shadow Step let them move around the battlefield quickly and smoothly. Shadow Step is extra cool because it helps you break free from being held down.

• Close Quarters Combat (Key Passives): This special skill makes both Puncture and Flurry better. It fits perfectly with the Rogue's focus on both quick shooting and close combat. It's like the Rogue's way of being really good at different things.
• Precision Imbuement (Imbuement Skill): As the Rogue gets better gear like Penitent Greaves, Precision Imbuement changes into Frigid Finesse. This makes your attacks do cold damage, adding a cool twist to your damage and showing how skilled the Rogue is.

Focus on Flurry: When fighting groups of enemies, use Flurry. It's a move that hits lots of foes at once. It's the main part of this build and is really good at dealing with many enemies.

Mixing Styles: This build combines two styles: Cutthroat (Flurry, Shadow Step, and Dash) and Marksman (Rapid Fire and Puncture). These styles work together to make the Rogue really strong.

How to Fight with Area Attacks: Use Advanced Flurry in a group of enemies to cause a lot of damage to all of them. It also makes them Stagger, which makes them weak. Use Rapid Fire against tough enemies, like bosses. Stay safe and attack from far away.

Controlling Enemies and Doing More Damage: Cold Imbuement is great for controlling enemies. It also makes enemies take more damage. When you use Rapid Fire or Flurry, the cold effect makes enemies freeze. With Cold Imbuement and other skills, your damage gets stronger.

Beating Tough Enemies: Cold Imbuement works really well against tough enemies. After you hit them, they become Frozen. This makes them easier to defeat.

Making Enemies Weaker: Puncture can make enemies Vulnerable with one hit. This helps your team do more damage to strong enemies.

Quick Dodges and Strong Attacks: Right after you use Rapid Fire or Flurry, use Evade to stop the attack animation. This helps you avoid danger and makes your next attacks stronger.

• (Optional) Dash through tough enemies for extra power.
• Dodge through an enemy to set up Advanced Flurry.
• Build up 3 Combo Points with Puncture and use Tricks of the Trade for stronger Flurry.
• Use Flurry to hit many enemies and Stun them.
• Quickly stop Flurry's animation with Evade to start again.

• Use Evade to start Advanced Rapid Fire.
• Build 3 Combo Points with Puncture and make the enemy Vulnerable.
• Stun an Elite with Shadow Step or Dash for better Rapid Fire damage.
• Add Cold Imbuement for extra damage.
• Shoot Rapid Fire at the enemy.
• Quickly stop Rapid Fire's animation with Evade to restart.

Even temporary helpers like the Chip Glyph matter. It doesn't show its true power until level 15, but it helps until Diminish is ready. Like in all plans, timing is important.

As you reach levels 15 and 21, Glyph progression gets more complex. Combat, Turf, Control, Exploit, and Diminish – each step makes you stronger. It's like a ladder, a sequence that creates a strong effect. As Glyphs improve, you become better too, becoming the expert of your Paragon Board.

The first steps are really important. You start by improving Dexterity, then Armor and Damage, and so on. As you move from one part of the board to another, from Trick of the Trade to Exploit Weakness and more, Glyphs find their place. Exploit, Devious, Combat – these names are strong, and the nodes they're in show your potential.

When you reach the endgame, your first task is to collect Legendary Aspects and Unique items. Imagine your character as a blank page waiting to be filled with power. Use the Codex of Power Aspects and see the change.

Gear:

• Your ranged weapon gets a boost from Edgemaster's, a very important aspect.
• Your head or chest armor wears Disobedience, but it'll move to your amulet, making room for Mangler's.
• Corruption temporarily boosts a weapon, to be replaced by Condemnation.

As you get more powerful, your gear needs to be ready for tougher challenges. Legendary Aspects become very important, and Unique items give you extra strength. Your character becomes a powerful force, and each piece of gear adds to your strength

Gear:

• Wind Striker and Shadowslicer make way for Accelerating + Mangler's.
• Ghostwalker bows to Ravager, giving you extra Shadow Step chances until Penitent Greaves show up.
• Corruption stays on a weapon, waiting for Condemnation to take its place.

Now, your character is super strong. Legendary Aspects and Unique items work together, and you're ready to face even the strongest enemies. But to be at your best, you need to fine-tune.

Gear:

• Condemnation becomes your main weapon instead of Corruption.
• Penitent Greaves come in, adding more damage with cold effects, taking the place of Ravager's.
• Make your attack speed really high. If it goes above 100%, that's great, even if it's not perfect.
• A cool choice: Frostbitten replaces Accelerating when you use Caged Heart of Cluster Munitions + Penitent Greaves. This gives you more control over enemies and stronger cold damage.

Imagine freezing your enemies, making them easier to defeat. Frostbitten Incarnation makes this happen. This power is all about attacking Frozen enemies for extra damage. Just remember, only use this power with weapons.

At the start of your journey, Aspect of the Umbral and Ravenous Incarnation can be really helpful. They help you manage your energy. But they need space on your rings, which means you might not have as many powerful attack options. Don't worry, though. Your build has other ways to make your attacks stronger, so you don't have to compromise your strategy.

Your abilities become more powerful with a damage increase of 10–20%, and this increase varies depending on how much of your main energy source you have when you use the abilities. The maximum advantage is achieved when your energy is fully restored. (Ranged Weapon +100% bonus effect)

Making an enemy Vulnerable can lead to good things. There's a chance, like a roll of the dice, that it could make your Critical Strikes happen more often. This boost lasts for 3 seconds and can make your Critical Strike Chance go up by 3%. If you keep hitting while the boost is active, it can go up even more, to a total of 9%.

When you're attacked by enemies far away, something lucky might happen 8% of the time. They might get stunned for 2 seconds when they hit you. And when this happens, your attacks become stronger! You can deal 10% to 20% more damage to these stunned enemies. It's like a special bonus for you when you're in this situation.(Amulet +50 bonus effect)

When you hit enemies with a basic skill, it makes your next big attack even stronger. The more you hit, the more power you get, up to a total of 30% extra damage.

And with Rapid Aspect, your basic moves become faster, like a turbo boost for your skills. You'll do things 15–30% faster and hit harder(Dual-Wielded Weapon Slot 2, Rings or Gloves).

Shadow Step now has an extra use called a Charge. When you defeat an enemy using Shadow Step, you get your Charge back, and Shadow Step becomes even stronger. It gets better by 1–6% for about 2 seconds, reaching a maximum improvement of 5–30%. This means you can use Shadow Step more and make it even more powerful after taking down enemies(Boots).

Meet Condemnation, the dagger that takes your main moves to new heights. Spending 3 Combo Points becomes super strong, with a 30% chance to get those points back with each move. This special weapon helps you focus on Combo Points and lets you defeat enemies with more power.

Asheara’s Poniard in using this weapon makes you attack faster for 4 seconds, up to 20-30%. It's really fast, but other things on the weapon might not be as good. Look for Legendary Swords with the right stuff – they might be even better.

When you walk, you leave behind a cold trail that freezes your enemies. The Penitent Greaves don't just look good, they also make Chilled enemies take 7-10% more damage. The Barber Variant of these boots is especially cool when you run into battles.

Imagine hitting a Vulnerable enemy and making a shadow copy that does the same. Shadow's Grasp does this 24-34% of the time. But wait, Legendary Gloves could be better, especially with +4 Ranks of Rapid Fire and Flurry. The shadow copy is cool, but your real attacks are still the best.

Temerity pants offer something bold: when you heal and go over 100% health, a Shield appears. This strong shield is 40-80% of your Maximum Life and protects you for 8 seconds. Note, choosing Temerity means you lose out on four things that help damage reduction and give up a special ability from Legendary Pants. Think carefully before you choose Temerity.

Embrace the art of Combo Points Mastery, a path that unlocks the potential of Puncture, allowing it to strike up to three times. The result? A crescendo of destruction as your Flurry and Rapid Fire unleash devastating blows. This symphony of strikes harmonizes perfectly with the haunting tunes of Condemnation and the strategic dance of Aspect of the Expectant. The legendary Rapid Aspect quickens the pace, ensuring an energy surplus for the mighty Edgemaster’s Aspect.

Critical Strikes: Precision and Devastation

Dive into the heart of Critical Strikes. A web of tactics weaves around you, from honing Critical Strike Chance on your Gloves and Rings to the electric synergy of Concussive. Feel the surge of power with Precision Imbuement, bolstered by the brilliance of Intelligence. As the curtain rises, the Combat Glyph takes center stage, synchronized with the sweeping crescendo of Critical Strike Damage etched onto your Weapons, Rings, and Paragons.

Vulnerability Exploitation: Unveil the Weakness

Your strategy is a dance of vulnerability. You harness it in myriad ways, etching it onto your Weapons and Rings, especially within the core of Crossbow foundation. The tapestry unfolds with Puncture, the dynamic Improved Flurry, and the intricate Exploit Glyph, casting vulnerability like a net over your foes.

Your armor is your shield, your might. Aspect of Might and Cheat's Aspect are your fortifications, strengthening your resolve against unending onslaughts. Yet, the true masterpiece is Aspect of Disobedience. It rises like a guardian, bestowing Armor with a flourish of speed. Your Chest and Pants are the canvas, painting a symphony of defense that resonates through your being.

Fortified Core: Armor for the Storm

Your core, your essence, is fortified. Your Chest and Pants house the essence of defense, the elements that stand resolute against the tempest. Here lies the heart of your strategy, where vulnerabilities are sealed, and resilience flourishes. Across other parts of your ensemble, these attributes are scarce, making their presence here indispensable.

Strategic Utilities: Symphony of Survival

In your arsenal of survival, Mangler's Aspect takes the spotlight. It's the masterstroke, amplifying your Crowd Control effectiveness. The dance of Evade and Advanced Flurry is your rhythm, a rhythm that sways the tide in your favor, locking down enemies in a mesmerizing performance.

Healing

Flurry's inherent healing blooms with the touch of Enhanced Flurry, weaving vitality into your every move. The ensemble is complete with Siphoning Strikes, a chorus of sustenance that resonates with your fighting spirit, ensuring you endure, thrive, and conquer.
