Diablo 4 Rogue Leveling Build: The Vulnerable Flurry Trap Master Build
The general idea behind the Flurry Trap Master leveling play style is that you generate Vulnerability really easily, spread it using Flurry, and then use Poison Trap for single target, and Shadow Imbuement for AOE clear speed increase. This makes the build fairly well-rounded in its early damage profile. You also get Dash, adding to your general leveling speed and map clearing speeds while leveling.
When you enter that ultimate phase of leveling, you can see the build come online, as your Death Trap will pull enemies in range to the center, making it easy to spread your Vulnerability to all enemies brought into the trap’s center, which then combines for applying your Poison Trap onto enemies in the middle. You also get your hands on Preparation Specialization at level 30, which is a very good cooldown reset for Poison Trap, and SI, which spending energy lowers your Death Trap cooldown too. This allows you to pull large packs and get several Poison Traps easily, and potentially a second or third.
Diablo 4 Rogue Leveling Build: Barrage Ranged Rogue Build
The Ranged Rogue leveling build is the more simple one of the build, taking advantage of crit, and attack speed ramps, and using Barrage to do single target and AOE damage. Its overall damage output is somewhat lower than the other two builds, but it requires the least amount of content to get it rolling, likely making this the better leveling build until you get your hands on ultimate skills and want to pivot. However, it is also viable to level in if you really like the ranged archetype.
