******************************************** |
The rogue is in a delicate position for the Diablo 4 beta period. This is a class that historically needs to be careful about engaging in melee combat due to wearing lighter armor and equally requires work to be elite at range to keep up with spellcaster damage.
Because of the restrictions on the beta, rogue builds that need require multiple skills to survive in danger or deal damage are going to be disappointing. Thankfully, fans of this playstyle in Diablo 4 will find that there is a build that can deal top-tier damage without needing tons of ability points.
Best Rogue Build For The Beta
- Forceful Arrow: 1
- Enhanced Forceful Arrow: 1
- Rapid Fire: 5
- Enhanced Rapid Fire: 1
- Improved Rapid Fire: 1
- Weapon Mastery: 3
- Exploit: 3
- Malice: 3
- Poison Imbuement: 1
- Enhanced Poison Embuement: 1
- Blended Poison Embuement: 1
- Rain Of Arrows: 1
- Prime Rain Of Arrows: 1
- Supreme Rain Of Arrows: 1
The maximum level in the game will increase when it has fully released. For now, players can only get to level 25. This leaves 24 potential ability points since the first level does not grant a skill. It's a small pool, but just enough points to pull off an effective ranged build.
The highlight here is the Rapid Fire skill which deals the most damage of any of the rogue's skills should all five shots land. The perfect rotation is to attack three times with Forceful Arrow, then use Rapid Fire. When it's off of cooldown, use Poison Imbuement before using the Rapid Fire skill twice. Save Rain Of Arrows for mobs as it's rogue's best skill for thinning out numbers.
Players who feel like they'll need more levels to get a better build aren't alone. Thankfully, gamers can still change classes to one that suits their abilities better. None of the progress in the beta carries over, so don't worry about taking several steps back to start over.
Diablo 4 will be available on June 6th, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
