The INSANE Rogue Talent Nobody Uses & Which Ones To Avoid - Diablo 4 

If you were looking at wudijo's guide, he also plays hardcore so was playing with more survivability in mind

See I stopped using those two after watching this video but it felt like my cool downs were taking longer to reset with exposure so I put it back on and I can feel the difference

Men does this make a differente. I think he has not tried this aspect with the posion explosion aspect and extra potency aspects while stacking lucky hit. You can simply spam posion imbuement and twisting blades (if you can get enough energy reg) its insane. Did uber lilith with that build

well a lot of builds are used by everyone for the pure big numbers and massive damage. understandable but having played the same build for the story on act 2 and so far 10 lvls on act 3, its boring as heck. any build that gives me a flurry setup (love that ability) and either poison, shadow, or ice, or mixes up things with dash, shadow step, stealth, smoke bomb, or caltrops; im all for. crowd control is great, massive 'omfg 2 billion damage' builds are fun, but remember you can change your build and gear around for certain scenarios. i used to switch my gear and builds before entering a boss room for a more single target dps build and it would wreck the bosses HP. sell a piece of equipment in town to make the gold back for redoing talents and you're making your money back.

Same lols can tank mobs no prob. Been helping low level friends for fast exp farm.

What aspect provides the healing? I'd be very interested in this.

@@theNutmeg342 aspect of stolen vigor

This aspect is nutty for surviving cc chains. As long as momentum doesn’t fall off your pretty much always full hp

it's pretty good early game but tbh once you get good gear you just heal more than enough with your crits, the things that might kill you as a rogue is a one shot definitely not a lack of healing

I find that the crowded sage aspect works a lot better because the trade off of victimize and the cruel sustenance is the close combat passive which for my flurry build is non negotiable

Agreed. It just looks bad on paper because the lucky hit is spread out over every individual hit.

I thought it did the bombs and CDR reduction at the same time every time, woops

i got something similar with the lucky hit daze effect along with the chance to spread crowd control, get the passive that crit a dazed enemy knocks them down and thank me later.. nothing can touch you, i just changed to chilled caltrops last night and going to try that as well

While I truly praise your efforts, I feel as if though they’re in vain. Honestly don’t believe there is anyway you’d truly be able to get a shako or anybody for that matter without being the luckiest SoB on the planet. :/

Yeah thats kind of what it's missing. I wouldnt go cqb for the simple fact that it doesn't give any sort of survivability.

I was just going to say, I’m freezing every time with Flurry Ice/shadow build. Plus playing along an Ice shards sorc…just destroys. Just got an aspect that increase crowd control duration for a longer time and they stay frozen for a long time.

what gear is required?

@@bonelessthincrust 2 random lvl 1 daggers, flurry hits like 4 times therefor you freeze with it super fast/ instantly. What you want to use it often is cooldown reduction on amulet/ helmet. If you feel like giving up some defense stats on chest/ pants you can get cdr for imbuements there too.

@@captnawesum3874 have u ever tried to combine the flurry-frost-nova with twisting blades? i played like this (more infused with shadow too) since launch and i never knew if this is stupid or not, but now im lvl87 and its still working great! i only have toughness issues but the dmg is just great. P.S.: i have a demo video of it with kinda shitty gear on my humble channel

If you use bursting venom you van endlessly spam poison xD

There's an aspect that generates dark shroud with critical hits on marksman skills. Def keep an eye out for that. My build is very similar. Instead of concealment I use caltrops as an "oh shit run" scenerios. I like dodging into groups, dropping a trap, and then caltrops TF outta there. Rapid fire the slowed enemies from trap and caltrops to death.

@@derekfaust6531 Thanks I have it on my pants. 😄 I'm old so I like to keep my builds simple as possible. Jumping in and out of stuff I would screw that up somehow and die. Sounds fun though. I use the basic speed boost on my weapon so I can quickly get my 3 marks and a vuln then volley or poison volley elites. rinse and repeat. I might run up to the edge drop trap then run back so it pulls ranged into the poison while I melt down knock back the melee trying to run in.

I ran a similar build till 56 but with ice imbue. rapid fire freeze, poison trap and force arrow for knock down and you can knock regular mobs into elites and it knocks them all down. Loved it. Freezing a whole screen with Rain of arrows was great. I've switched to a deathtrap tb build and currently wompin mobs at lvl 76. I recently got some uniques that I think would max out the rapid fire build. Windforce bow, Skyhunter bow, Penitent greaves, Word of Hakan amulet that gives ALL imbue to rain of arrows. I'm wondering if amulet will work with the Aspect that procs rain of arrows on targets. Concealment and healing while invis was my "oh shit" button

@@Diversifried I use concealment as often as a mana refresher as I do an oh shit button. It also triggers a vuln so its a good way to peak burst with poison.

This is why it's so important to have different builds. I have a build for smaller maps and I have a build for bosses. Stop using crowd control skills for bosses , you aren't gonna do damage because that's not what that build is meant for.

Shadow step is a cutthroat skill. Puncture to proc vuln, Shadow step behind elite, and backstab him with Rapid Fire. Works great with close quarters combat and tricks of the trade.

Dude if you do a death trap ice flurry, post the build pls!

Rogue not "rouge"...

Mulan Rouge baby wear that skank-ass lingerie!! P.s: literally everyone talks about Twist.

Post the planner big daddy

My trap flurry build does something similar. Currently lvl 85 doing around t60+ nightmares (~lvl 114+) I use trick attack together with the daze aspect and the 50% chance to spread crowd control aspect You knock one enemy down the entire room falls down less than a second later and it is guaranteed with poison trap, the daze aspect just keeps it happening even with poison trap on cooldown. Since flurry in mob groups heals 12% per cast + 3% per crit you also have sustain like crazy. Using shadow shroud with the lucky hit crits give a shroud and I am tanky as hell. Single target is somewhat less than twisting blades but at least I have 100% uptime on vuln on everyone due to flurry spreading it around.

@@NanoNaps which aspect are you referring to?

Two handers and amulets give a bonus to effectiveness. You can see this in the extracted aspects tooltip. Other than that, aspect categories are tied to specific slots, but there isn't any special bonus, just whether or not you can imprint into that slot.

So amulets give a 50% bonus and Two handed weapons IE bow gives 100% bonus. The rest of the slots don't matter.

From testing it, it doesn’t seem worth it. Death trap will always kill something that isn’t a boss. In big packs you will always have low level mobs that die easy to your trap🤷‍♂️ the cooldown from its own passive, plus exposure should give you a relatively low CD for Death Trap imo. I’m currently running Poison Trap+Caltrops(ice) and my Poison Trap has a near infinite uptime, which means my Poison Inbuement is also nearly infinite.

It does stack, every second the enemies stay inside the caltrops they take increased chill until they freeze after a couple seconds which is easy to do. Even faster if you have the aspect that makes Poison trigger freeze👌

@@eddyram4932 Oh yeah I mean if you overlay 2 uses of caltrops, like Venn diagram, if it ticks twice as often

@@maakulad7504 my guess is it should. As of now I’m playing with my brother and our chill effects stack on top of each other. I’m playing a Rogue with ice caltrops and he’s playing a Necromancer with Ice Mages, everything freezes in an instant. Poisons stack (my poison trap+poison inbue), so I don’t see why you laying down two layers of caltrops shouldn’t also stack the effect.

@@maakulad7504 I will test the caltrops thing, and should have an answer about the caltrops if you don’t have one already by tomorrow morning👍

@@maakulad7504 so I just tested the ice caltrops, it does stack if you lay down two layers yourself. The freeze happens almost instantly👍

Never mind, I'm an idiot, I was using Aftermath :-(((((((

Bro I’m doing pure melee rogue. I use close quarters combat I’m currently lvl84 doing dungeons lvl91 which is 7 above me with ease. There are always alternatives. The game is very versatile. There is no such thing as must. I’m doing pure physical damage. Playing without any imbuments or traps. Blades, step, dash and puncher with clone.

@@sashasynytskyy5953 i also don’t use any traps since i hate having to apply them, i’d rather just keep moving since disobedient aspect falls off quickly on a melee build. you have to stay fighting to keep it at 100 stacks without any downtime. I’m level 94 right now and don’t care to push past t50 NM since the diminishing returns on xp after levels 3+ is less than 1% there’s actually no point. But once i hit 100 on hardcore i’m sure i’ll switch a few things around. Right now i’m at 8k armor so i don’t get touched by anything my level. i’ve never played soft core so but im sure armor doesn’t matter there

He seems to be enjoying d4 :D

He’s almost ascended to NickThree

Lmao I laughed so hard @Ensless10p, made my day ngl 😂

Is this an alt account to try and boost your own ego? Because I have reddit threads filled with rogue mains saying how bad all these build this video suggests and that the WF build I posted has helped people at level 75+ clear level 90+ nightmare dungeons. Aint that funny?

@@oesntdatterm9548 the irony of talking about boosted ego then making a statement like that lol
