Top 3 Diablo 4 Season 1 Best Rogue Builds - D4 Leveling & Endgame Rogue Build Guide

After the campfire chat and even before that in Diablo 4, what is the Rogue going to look like and has it changed since your previous build? We'll say absolutely but for the Rogue didn't really change a whole lot. In our D4 season 1 Rogue build guide, we bring you the top 3 best post buff Rogue builds for leveling, endgame, and bosses.

Diablo 4 Season 1 Rogue Build Guide - Top 3 Best Rogue Builds In D4 After Nerf

Let's dive into everything you're getting to know about the 3 new best Diablo 4 season 1 Rogue build after patch. First, we got you an absolutely amazing build which is a new no basic Rogue meta build created by Veiled Shot. Second is an easy Lilith kill Rogue build for the D4 season that was created by NickTew. You can just go in there and get a very quick Uber Lilith kill real quick. Lastly, this is probably the fastest build in Diablo 4 season 1 that was created by wudijo. The expected time from 1 to 100 would be 55 hours of grind.  That is very fast compared to what we know but it's also due to some of the experience buffs that we have gotten lately.

1. D4 Season 1 Best Rogue Build

One thing you're going to notice is that we're actually not using a basic ability and this might be surprising to some of you. But it actually does not work with our heart that we're going to be using which is incredibly important. Now if you are earlier on in the game, you might need to go ahead and use a basic instead of another skill. We have enough energy generation in order to not use the basic at all which is really nice, specifically for speed clearing. Our main skill is going to be twisting blades since we're considering the best meta Diablo IV season 1 Rogue build. The siphoning strikes actually did get a small buff so this will go ahead and be a little bit better and it is still solid it is one of our only ways to stain really picking up sturdy for the close damage reduction. Now, we’re listing the stats, skills, gear, and aspects of this build.

2. Diablo IV Best Season 1 Rogue Build

This is the best D4 season 1 Rogue DPS build for people who wants to kill Uber Lilith and doesn’t want to spend too much gold or time investing into making the build. It is insanely easy to do with a very sub-optimal setup nowadays because of the new malignant heart that actually came out in season 1 which makes it just an absolute cakewalk. The main thing that makes us particularly easy is the new malignant hearts that we got so the most important one is the wrathful creeping death heart which basically just increases our damage against Lilith by basically double. Because it gives us 138% increased damage against unstoppable or staggered bosses which is going to work with our poison imbuement which is the major source of our damage for this. So not only do we get that for free but we also make the stagger phase significantly easier. Basically, our goal is just to stagger Lilith as fast as humanly possible which is made significantly easier by having two malignant hearts that just give us significantly more crowd control.

3. Diablo 4 Best Rogue Build Season 1

In general, this is the best and fastest D4 season 1 Rogue build for the endgame. There are some things that change how to build, so this time we go without the traps entirely. A pure twisting blades build with two imbuements instead of starting out with poison and shadow, then later switching to shadow and cold. The reason for that is that eventually you just get so powerful that everything dies really quickly and the poison never really does anything anymore. So this is the problem with poison imbuement. It's only really useful when combat is relatively slow. Like early on when you're like level 10-50, that poison does do a good job. But then later on when you just basically one-shot everything, there's no reason to have it.
