Diablo IV Rogue Shadow Flurry Build Guide

AntMag.NET

The Rogue class in Diablo IV offers several distinct build paths, including Imbuement, Flurry, Twisting Blades, Barrage, Penetrating Shot, and Trap builds. Progression through ability tiers requires spending skill points strategically. Specializations, unlocked at level 15, significantly influence your build. Gear choices, particularly Aspects found in dungeons or extracted from items, are also crucial.

This guide focuses on the Shadow Flurry build for the Rogue in Diablo IV's beta. Due to beta limitations, skill points are distributed across various ability trees to unlock higher tiers.
